DIY Vintage-Inspired Window Panes

Vintage window panes are a great way to get that rustic farmhouse, touch-of-modern, Fixer Upper look that everyone is after these days. True vintage window panes, though, can cost a pretty penny. I found some old, wooden panes in my garage, and just added spray paint and sandpaper to get a totally new look!

I started by applying 4 coats of Dover White, from the HGTV Home line by Sherwin Williams. I then took a sanding sponge and lightly distressed the corners of each pane.

My husband secured the glass to each wooden panel, added a heavy-duty hook to the back of each pane, and used screws to attach them to the walls (they are heavy enough that a nail wouldn’t do.)

Here's the before....

...and the after!
