Reclaimed Window

For a while now I have been on the search for something that could function as a coat rack for the entryway in my home. I wanted something that was unique and unexpected. The last time that I went to North Carolina to visit my sister and her family I stopped by a cute antique store/gift shop that had a plethora of those old reclaimed windows...similar to these:


In order to make the window function as a coat rack I wanted to add vintage knobs. I got my knobs from World Market because they were inexpensive and had that antique look. I also wanted to paint the glass with chalkboard paint so that we could write cute messages on it like "love you snuggle muffin" and "I went SHOPPING...so could you clean the house while I'm gone?"...haha. But anyways back to my point, I ended up falling in love with the glass as it was so I decided against painting it.

The following are some pictures of our entryway now. I love hanging dried flowers from the window in the summer and spring, and coats and scarfs in the fall and winter.

*Caution* Prepare yourself for WAY too many Pictures!!!!








And this is what the window looks like with a little Christmas Cheer!


Oh and speaking of Christmas this is a new Christmas Decoration that I purchased from Chartreuse and Co in Frederick, MD. It has two scrolls on the sides so that you can change the numbers. I just love it!!!



I hope you all have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
