5 Easy Salvaged Windows Decorating Ideas
1. Salvaged Windows & Brass Candlestick Project
My favorite salvaged windows project this year was this one that I designed using brass candlesticks. You could also use pewter, wood, or silver candlesticks too.
Here I made two similar salvaged windows and hung them on each side of our builtin bookshelves.

2. A Very Simple Vintage Plates and Windows DIY
I found these adorable blue and white small plates while out “Thrifting with the Gals“, and using the same technique with fishing line and thumbtacks, I hung the small dishes on these salvaged windows that hang over our dining room mantel.
