My next makeover started down the street from my house. They are tearing down another house full of character, actually 3 houses, to build one ginormous one. While nothing was salvaged on any of these homes, I did manage to get my hands on a beautiful part of the last one before it was torn down. I noticed they had started the tear down so I called my stepdad to have him do me a little favor… I do this a lot! I asked him to go ask the demo crew if we could have one of the awesome harlequin windows from the front of the house. He told him to take whatever he wanted so he brought me home 2 of the windows… woohoo Bapa… You’re the BOMB! Each window is about 2ft x 6ft and they are solid wood… gorgeous!
Now we needed a place to put them…. I decided to hang mine on a tall blank wall next to our recliner in the living room.

I will also be adding this to Hooked on Fridays at Hooked on Homes… Check it guys!!
These are gorgeous! I think they would look good hanging from white chains from the ceiling too.
Those are just too cool! I hate that old homes are torn down and nothing salvaged. SO glad you girls at least got these windows. I like what you did with each of yours.

I love old window projects. I have an old window that I painted and plan on hanging in front of my kitchen window as a window window treatment.
Love it! I am also in love with those style of windows, not just to find one….
