Antique Window #1

Shabby Farmer - Antique Church Window

I LOVE old, antique windows!  All shapes and sizes.  I thought I would do several posts showing how I have used windows in decorating.   This would qualify as the largest antique window, and the heaviest we have!         

Shabby Farmer - Antique Church Window

We found 2 large antique church windows at the Caldwell auction.  One was placed on the side of the garage, facing the street.  The other window sort of fell a part.  So I used the pieces in a variety of places.

Shabby Farmer - Antique Church Window, Top Half

This was the top half of the window.  The other side of it is white.  I have a thin rubber slip under it so it won't slide. 

Shabby Farmer - Antique Church Window in Entry Way

The window sits an antique dresser in the front entry, providing an interesting backdrop.

Shabby Farmer - Antique Church Window Outside

You can see in this picture of the window that there is a top half and a bottom half as well as an outer casing.


Shabby Farmer - Antique Church Window Casing

This is the outer casing, placed next to the front door around a screen door, and an old bench with other antique items nearby.

Shabby Farmer - Antique Church Window Bottom

The bottom half of the window is by the front door to the left.  All the glass fell out and it is quite flimsy, but still looks interesting.  These two antique church windows provided an interesting backdrop in several places.
