Pretty Window. . .

This is my contribution to frugal decorating, as this project has cost me less than $10 and was so fun to do!

Ok, I am not completely done with this yet, but so far I love it, and just had to show y'all!

I found some windows at a local antique store for $5.00 and knew I wanted to use them somehow, in our home.


Well, I came across where Jeanne had turned an old door into an inspiration board.

BTW-How cool is her door?

So, I decided to take that idea and run with it.

I decided I needed an inspiration window!


I still have a bit of work to do to it, and it's far from perfect, but I love it and it will brighten up my room so much!


Here it is in all it's glory.

I just put cork in three of the panes and scrapbook paper in the other three.



A couple of close ups of the paper I used.

I wanted something bright and cheery and this fit the bill perfectly.





Like I said, it's far from perfect but I really do like it!

I almosted painted ita different color but I decided I liked the shabby chic-ness(is that a word?) it currently sports now.

In fact, I am thinking about distressing it a bit more.

Then, I took some scrapbooking brads, that coordinated with this paper and glued thumbtacks to the back to use them as pushpins.

I loved how they turned out!

Here is a shot of the front.



This is how they look from the back.




I had so much fun, doing this!

I think my daughter may just need one for her room, as well!

Now, I am off to see what all y'all have done! :)
