Over the years, I've developed a home design style that can be described as Rustic Refined. I love mixing clean, modern lines with natural, rustic accents. When we moved into our new Colorado home, we found ourselves staring at a blank two-story great room wall in serious need of some kind of visual interest.
One sunny Spring day, my husband I stumbled across a local festival in our hometown of Golden. Everywhere we looked, there were tons of old windows and doors piled up ready to go home with some lucky browser. It so happens, the lucky ones turned out to be us. We loaded the back of our car with a half door and seven vintage windows – the perfect solution to our blank canvas waiting at home. (Fortunately, we only lost one of the windows to bumpy roads.)
I worked the windows like a puzzle in my garage until I came up with the perfect arrangement. After climbing hesitantly up our shaky ladder, I came to the quick conclusion that I would need to enlist some help and called Wade, our contractor friend over to do the job. The result is absolutely beautiful and an unexpected contrast to the more contemporary style of our home.
If you are in need of large wall decor ideas, vintage windows could be the answer. There are lots of inspiration on Pinterest for all kind of ways to display windows within your own home.
