Upcycled Window Frame
Upcycled Window Frame
In the Designer's Words: "I have always LOVED walking behind my kiddos while they walked ahead. I’ve always been so curious as to what they were talking about and for whatever reason, the images of my two babes walking together have always warmed my heart. So much so, that when I was able, I would snap photos of them. When I bought this 6-pane window at our local architectural salvage store several weeks ago, I knew exactly what I would do with it before I had it home."

Another fantastic way of converting this project is making your window a coffee table. Not only will it be a one of a kind but will be a great topic for conversation. Each photo tells a story
