Someone else's junk is another man's treasure. There has been such an increase in using old windows for decorating this past year, that like you, I have desired to attempt it. Over the summer I was blessed to be able to live with my good friend LauraBeth and as I was driving down her street one day I saw a whole bunch of old windows on the sidewalk. I decided to grab 4 or 5 and see what I could do with them. I decided to give some to my mother and kept the rest for myself. I tell you, my brain went into overtime thinking of all the possibilities. Among the windows was a perfect 4 pane, thick wood window and the glass was still intact. Large plus! Since I love photography I decided that I would paint the window and sand it to give it a slightly vintage look and then blow up some of my pictures to hang inside.
On a Home Depot run one night I found some yellow paint on sale (tip: always look at the oops paint) and soon after had finished the frame. After some long months though of not ordering the pictures I finally did and they arrived last month.
The issue now was how to make them stick to the windows. I researched online but could not find much about it. Some people used tape while others used Velcro Adhesive Dots. The dots seemed the best way to go & although they are small and easy to apply, depending on the background of the picture depends if you can see them or not.

So while I am happy with the outcome, I wish there was a product out there that you could use to attach the pictures and not see what is holding it there.
Now I just have to hang it.
