I have had this wild idea inside my head for a few months. I have been wanting to make a GIGANTIC porch lantern out of old windows. The man I got these windows from on Craigslist was offering them up for free ‘for a few minutes of taking out your anger on’. I thought that was pretty funny. I’m glad I could save them from being smashed to bits. Although these 4 windows are not all the same size, 2 of them are so I just had the other sides be a bit taller. Can you tell I’m not into perfection? I like completion better than perfection; which is a blessing and a curse. 
I painted them yellow and with the help of my knowledgable husband screwed them together, added a plywood bottom and wa-la! 
Another idea coming to fruition. I’m wondering about adding a peaked top with 11×14 photo frames but I only have one right now and I will have to wait until I can grab one at a garage sale for less than $1. I’m wondering now, do they make candles that large? What can I find to put inside to light up the front walkway on a late summer night?
It’s a little wild, very large, and I like it! 
what do you think? can you make something new from something old?
