Hi Kelly, at the time, I didn't seal the mirror because it didn't really get much use so I wasn't concerned about chipping paint.

This blog post is great to reference before you work on old stuff. http://missmustardseed.com/2010/08/safety-first/

Good luck! :)

That is SO cute! I just discovered old windows so I have a question. Did you put anything on it when it was done? Like a poly or anything? I have one old window that has chipped paint, but I like it and thought I'd just leave it as is, but don't want it to keep chipping. You know? What can I use? I've never really done anything except painted an old bed frame once. Thanks! Loving this blog!!

Thank you SO much :)

Before I share the paint colour I just want to let you know that the colour is a bit brighter in person than it appears in the above photos!

The colour is called Seagrass and it was from the Sarah Richardson Collection, Para Paints at Lowes. I hope that helps!

:)

Can you please share the paint colour of the wall that the mirror is hung on? I came across this page/site when trying to refinish an old window (thanks! It's been helpful) but I have really taken a liking to the paint colour and can't seem to match it. Thanks in advance!

2013-03-10T11:30:08.625-04:00

Love it!! I did something similar...like you it took forever to get the putty off,i threw on some paint remover and let it sit for a bit,it made it a bit easier to remove the putty...as a result i think i wound up with early onset arthiritis....lol

That was a great idea. I would of never have thought of taking a old door and turning it into a coat hanger. What I love about it as a coat hanger is that it still has it's windows. That's part of what makes it so artistic and unique.

The glass usually isn't set directly into the wood, it's usually just resting on a little ledge of wood with putty holding it into place.

I think if you place your window onto something soft (folded blanket) while you drill to keep the glass from rattling it will be just fine!

We had no issues at all when we added the hook to ours and I'm pretty sure we just rested the window on the hardwood floor.

:)

Good luck!

2012-08-10T09:36:44.433-04:00

That's awesome! Although I do have to warn you that now you're going to want to do it to every single old window you ever see!

:)

2012-08-09T21:31:23.011-04:00

I have a question about this that might sound really silly but I have an old window that I want to add hooks too but I'm worried that I'm going to crack the glass if I drill into the frame of it. What do you think?

2012-08-07T16:03:38.679-04:00

You totally inspired me! My husband and I had our old shed torn down and bought a new one. I had him save the window from it bc I knew I wanted to do something with it. Thanks to Pinterest I found you and your wonderful projects! I just finished the window today and I'm in love :)

You did a great job! I love repurposing too. Love all your pictures showing the process-would love to try something like this someday :)

Totally worth the $20, that's a frugal find for sure. And mirrors make all the difference! (I just posted the "Eagan" PB mirror.) Now what to hang on those yummy hooks????
