Kitchen Re-do Progress Ideas for Garage Doors

 

I did it! I finally made a window of my own! Not too bad for a first try, eh?
This will hang on the wall in my red and white kitchen.
              

I am currently creating pages on ideas for old doors, cribs, headboards and shutters. 
Please send me any photos or links that you have for any of these.

There are over 200 photos on these pages, so please be patient while your computer loads the pictures!

After accumulating about ten old windows (from my neighbor's garbage), I have spent many countless hours scouring bulletin boards and project indexes for ideas. I thought I'd combine them all in one place, as it seems many of us are looking for the same ideas. Please, please, please email me with any additional photos, links, corrections, comments, etc., and feel free to share this link with others. If you see a photo of your work here, thank you for making this information available to all us other crafters.
