Here are some of the windows/doors I picked up in 2011:
 |
| My potting bench makeover. |
 |
| The door I saved just as it was being tossed into the landfill... (I've since scored 2 more!!) |
 |
| 3 storm windows I picked up for free that I made into this tiny greenhouse |
 |
| This one I pulled out of a dumpster |
 |
| here is my favourite of all the doors I've found. Got it for $1 at a garage sale 10 years ago and haven't figured out what to do with it yet! (Shed beautification is a 2012 coming attraction - lol) |
Happy treasure hunting everyone! I can't wait for the spring yard sales :)
Cheers!

I just picked up an old door at Jack's Salvage that I hope to use in our basement. It cost me a bit more then the $1 you spent though!! ;-) I also have a couple old windows removed from our house that I have some plans for. Summer projects!!

I heart old doors and windows, too.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the zinfandel box in the garage/shed, I would surly be bringing that treasure inside to decorate.
Thanks for sharing.
Michele
I love these ideas. Going to be on the look out for old windows now!
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! I love old doors and windows, too. I wish I had some space to store them, let alone find all the lovely ones you have found!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!!!! I love all of these. I just started a brand new themed link party just for rustic and shabby chic crafts and decor. I would love to have you share this - http://rustic-crafts.com/?p=5388
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative, Anne! Love what you did with all your windows! Thank you for sharing at Potpourri Friday!
ReplyDeleteI too have a Passion and obsession with Saving Architectural Salvage... Old Doors and Stained Glass Windows in particular. To think that they might be lost to a landfill grieves me greatly... I know I can't Save them all, but I can do my part. *Winks* And I see you're being noble in doing your part too... Love your 'scores' and the Creative ways in which you have upcycled them! And how lucky are you to get the haul from the Friend's Old Barn offered up to you!!!

Glad to hear that I'm not the only door hoarder! I have 4! The last one I paid $3! The other 3 were a set for $25 and are very chippy. You got great deals! I plant to spar varnish one & stick it in a garden with a word on the window. My friend has a door leaning in her living room with a wreath on it & that's were it all began for me!
ReplyDeletewww.minnesotajunker.blogspot.com
I love old windows too! I have a few in my house. Geat job.
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Thanks so much for sharing at my party!!! Can't wait to see what you link up this week!!! Just in case you haven't entered, my giveaway for 1000 full color business cards ends tonight at midnight!!! XO, Aimee
ReplyDeleteLove your old windows and that door is wonderful too!! Thanks for linking up at Feathered Nest Friday!
ReplyDeleteLove your old windows and that old door. I just found your blog. Very nice. I will be your newest member.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking these wonderful finds and ideas to my link party! I featured you at this weeks party - http://rustic-crafts.com/?p=5569
ReplyDeleteToo awesome!! I love old windows and doors but every time I come across any they are so expensive! Can you send some my way:D
ReplyDeleteThere are windows and doors galore around these parts! Loads of renovations of old, old houses with single pane windows and wood doors and nobody seems to want to keep them for other uses. I'm so happy.
DeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed that you find some that are dirt cheap!
This certainly reminds me of sunny days during summer with family and friends. Great restorations!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your doors and windows! oh my! especially the cute vignette with the watering cans!
ReplyDeletegail
Vintage windows and doors can be turned into many other things, just like what you use 'em for: decoration! I wonder if my eldest daughter would want to use one in her new room. She'll probably be surprised and happy, since she loves vintage stuff. You just gave me that idea… so, thanks.
ReplyDeleteLovely garden. Im setting up mine this summer.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful choices, Ann - you have a taste for doors. Your favorite one dollar door just needs a little bit of painting so it would be ready soon - where are you going to put it? It would be best if you put it on the shed after its beautification, girl. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever ideas i love old windows designs...
ReplyDeletewindows Shutters Pleasantion.ca
You have cool interests Miss Anne! You also picked out really stunning doors and windows. Did you just start collecting all of these in 2011? You must’ve turned your garage into a room filled with delight. You have unique taste Anne. Well, I’ll be looking forward for the next garage sale, so that I’ll be able to see your next set of collections. Happy treasure hunting!
ReplyDeleteRonald Miller
Wow! You pulled that one from the dumpster? But it looks so beautiful! How did you make it to look like that? Anyway, you have such a creative mind. I like your ideas. I am now thinking of recycling some of my old windows too.
ReplyDeleteRoxie Tenner
What a great way to recycle windows and doors! I salute you for these great ideas. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure! Who would have thought that a ‘used’ door can be a catchy wall décor? If only people had a creative mind like yours, eager to recycle things, surely, it will put a smile on Mother Nature’s face :)
ReplyDelete-Danielle Bailey
It’s amazing how you transformed all of these old doors and windows into beautiful home decors. I now have an idea on what to do with all the old windows I have in my garage. I’m sure my family would love recycling those with me. Thanks for the idea! =)
ReplyDeleteTerry Arnold
What a brilliant mind! It takes a lot of creativity to be able to create such wonderful creations out of old doors and windows. If people will have the kind of thinking like yours, I’m sure there will be a decrease in junk and our world will become a lot cleaner!
ReplyDelete-Lida Swisher
I commend your resourcefulness and creativity. You are fond of collecting old doors and windows, purchase them at a very cheap price and transform them into a new creation. My favorite among your artworks is the tiny greenhouse, which is made from old windows. You were so lucky you were able to have these old windows for free!
