Home decor with Old Windows

pot rack by chonlahan on HGTV Message boards.

This window was turned into a pot rack by chonlahan on HGTV Message boards. What a great idea.

She has this advise about this project. " It was a pretty simple project. I used large hooks to attach the chain and large hooks to hold the pots and pans. I think the most important thing is choosing a sturdy window and how you secure it to the ceiling. It could be quite heavy and you need to choose ceiling anchors and chain appropriate to the weight of your pans. I decorated on top of mine with ivy, grapevine wreath and a metal bowl of silk roses. I wouldn't use anything very heavy on top of the glass.

Window Bed Canopy-by Judy Hill

I found this beautiful bed canopy at Judy Hill's last home sale

It looks like she took a long window or door, suspended it from the ceiling

then she added lace and decorated it for the Holidays.

If you've got the right window, and are careful when hanging it go drill into the studs, you'll have a great canopy for your bed in no time. You can see more of Judy Hill's designs on her web site here.
