Something Old, Something New

Two of my favorite things are old windows and old picture frames.  I love to repurpose them, and I love to mix them with the unexpected for a new, fresh look.  We have a local antique store that has TONS of old windows out front where you can score some amazing finds for $5 to $10.  Here's a great idea for using an old window frame outside in a new way...

Attach your window frame to the wall, and add a window box near the base.  By simply attaching a window box and adding a springeri fern to the base of the window,  you can create an entire new look for your outdoor spaces for just a few dollars. 

Here's another great idea for using an old frame outside....Attach the frame to the wall (this frame was attached using L shaped hooks).  Take two grapevine wreaths of different sizes and wire together.  Hang the wreaths inside the frame.  Attach a window box near the base of the frame and add a springeri fern.  Again, an entire new look with repurposed items!

By mixing something old and something new, it's super simple to create unique outdoor displays that are high on style but won't break the bank!
