A Great Use For Old Window Frames

If you are looking for an original and creative idea for wall decor, sometimes the best place to look is around the house.

Old window frames can make an excellent base for wall decor. Windows with multiple panes are the best, and can be used to show off picture collages. Another great way to use them is to show case quilted fabrics.

Make sure to clean them well, but leave them otherwise unfinished to add to that rustic appeal. For mounting purposes just use picture frame screws and mounting wire. These "frames" add rustic charm to any home.

I really like them 'empty' like in the picture above or with mirror put behind. Any glass or mirror shop will be able to cut the mirror piece to the right size if you take the frame into the shop.
