If you love DIY projects, you probably also like upcycling old things that might otherwise get tossed in the garbage! It's a great way to help the environment while making something beautiful.
The next time you're at the thrift store, keep your eyes peeled for some old windows. With or without glass, old windows can be turned into so many amazing things!

2. Giant photo frame (h/t The Hamby Home)
Why not turn an old paned window into a giant photo frame? I love the idea of using it to display a wedding photo as shown here, but it could be used for any other type of photo as well.

This window coffee table is simply amazing! The inside of the table would be a great place to store things, but you could also take advantage of the fact that it's see-through and make a pretty display.

This window shelf is so versatile — it would look great with or without glass in it, and you could hang it either inside or outside! I think I would give mine a fresh coat of paint... how about you?
