This week I turned an antique window into a stylish planter for climbing ivy, or really, just about any other plant!
You can find these windows at just about every antique store, flea market, garage sale, or architectural salvage these days. The wife and I took day trip across Lake Pontchartrain to Mandeville, LA, where we found this window for only $5!
With some pressure treated decking board and exterior screws, this looks great. Just be sure to be aware of loose glass and especially lead paint. Old antique windows are usually caked with paint. So be sure to check your antique window for lead paint before you start working on it.
This planter is perfect for indoor or outdoor use. It is recommended that if you try this project yourself and plan on displaying it outside, make sure to add the feet so the wind doesn't blow it over.
