A month or two ago Art and I went to Habitate for Humanity The Resale Store. I was in HEAVEN looking at all the bargains we could buy. In the same parking lot is a store called The Reuse People. They take things out of houses from remodel, houses going to be destroyed etc.
I found the chippy window below. I pulled it down from a shelf and had the biggest smile on my face. Art asked what in the world do you want with that old window? When I saw this I was thinking of numerous blogs I had seen with georgous windows hanging on people's wall. I never thought I would be able to find such a beauty! I bought the window for $10. Brought it home, washed it and hung it on the wall.
Wonderfully Wordy has a clearance sale awhile back and I purchased it for about $7. Bought a board at Lowe's for $3, painted it with paint I already had at home. Transformed my plain wall for $20 bucks.

The tiny panes of glass on that window are so cute!
I'm thinking of taking a window like that and replacing the panes of glass with mirror. But of course it has to be the perfect chippy white window so who knows how long it will take me to find it.
Yours is perfect!
