Spring is in the air, finally in Ohio! So now it is time to start the Spring decorating projects. I love finding old wood windows, because you can use them in so many different ways. I used this repurposed window for some inspirational words and a coat rack. I also will be sharing 40+ Spring Inspirational Projects at the end of my post from other talented bloggers, so make sure you stay around for their Spring Inspirations too!
I found these old windows on the curb ready for the trash pick up. Of course, I jumped out of my car almost before it came to a complete stop to grab these lovely’s off the curb. They were a set with the top and bottom window and it looks like they came out of someone’s garage.
I decided to paint them in a classic black and use Cameron(Silhouette Cameo) to cut out my vinyl inspirational words. I purchased the inspirational words from the Silhouette website. I love the style and font of the design.
I spray painted the glass with Rust-Oleum Frosted Glass
. I wanted the black vinyl to stand out and the frosted glass gave me the look that I wanted.
This was a simple project to complete, I think the hardest part was spacing the inspirational words on the glass.
I added the brushed silver knobs to make this a multi-purpose piece.
You will find some great Spring inspirations from my fellow bloggers. You will want to check these projects out, because these ladies have some mad talents with their Silhouette machines! Just click on each image, and you will be directed to the creative blogger who completed the wonderful project.

I love how you named your CAMEO! I think mine needs a name too :). Your repurposed window looks very nice!
Lisa, I gave it a boys name since they are less emotional, hoping it would work when I wanted it to not when it wanted too. lol
Great results – the frosting and black vinyl is a great combo. Love the words and the beautiful scroll text.
Thanks Pam, I love the scroll text too!
Gorgeous!! I love it!! You are so creative!! I love all your projects!!
Love the use of the old window and I love how you added the knobs to make it a functional piece of art. Great work!
Sara, I love how the knobs added function to the piece! Have a great weekend!
Beautiful! I love the words you chose.
How did you like the frosted glass spray? I’ve been thinking about trying that for a few projects I have. Love that you upcycled an old window and gave it some new life!
Frosted Spray Paint?! I’m looking around my house as we speak trying to figure out what I need to frost! Your entire project turned out so cute!
This is really cool, DeDe! I love the look of the black vinyl against frosted glass… very classic 🙂
I love this project! I didn’t know Rustoleum made a frosted glass spray!! Yep. Definitely filing this away for later.
I love this! I’m going to go checking out some curbs near me in hopes of finding that kind of glass!
