Doors Over Windows

September 26th, 2007 by Jen Love

This is another idea I wanted to share from my brilliant friend Erica’s house. She found these beautiful, old, slim, doors at an antique store to make a unique window treatment.

Over a very wide window in her living room she hung the doors and I love the depth the glass provides like a mirror. Her drapes and valances hang from the doors. And she cleverly put brown paper behind the window panes to hide the white moulding that would have partially shown above the windows. I love decorating like this that helps you peruse the antique shops in a whole new way!

    What a cool idea! Brings to mind those Look-Alikes books my kids and I used to love that show a scene or still life made of everyday objects like pretzels, Ritz crackers, aaa batteries or film cartridges.

    My sister was surfing the web last night and was surprised to find that I have an Etsy store! How funny that there’s another Knitty Professor out there.
