Bathroom reno, the window, part 2...

I call this "Bathroom Reno, part #2"... I started with the "linen Closet"

You can see this Here

The photo above is my upstairs "Bathroom Window".  Although the bathroom is a nice size with separate shower and tub and a 6' vanity, the window has always reminded me of a 'gas station window'.. no matter if I put up a 'silk window treatment', it's still small and ugly!

My first thought was shelves on the window.. but how?

Then the 'light bulb' came on. I remember some 'Macrame' twine I found a few weeks before at a garage sale... it was blue, as that was the new color of my house.. blue and white!

I also had some jalousie window panes I found many months ago in a trash pile.. I cut one into three separate pieces. To fit the width of the window. I only used two, not wanting to over due it!

 

 First I used curtain rod holders in the upper inside of the window frame.. this will hold the twine. I cut the length and used 4 times the length for each side (glass holder).  I then tied a knot for the first pane of glass (doing my best to measure the second exact).

I then slid the glass between the two sections of the hanging twine.  (I do hope I'm explaining this correctly?)

You know, I did this on my kitchen window also many months ago,  the kitchen window is perfect for small potted plants, (that is another story).

It worked!  Now for the "Ugly Window".

The metal of the widow itself was brown and not very attractive.  Also the window was not framed with molding. So off to my local "Home Depot"!  I bought 3" white. Wanted to save myself a bit of work, but, knowing me, "I'd paint it anyway"..... I am saving this step of the "Bathroom Reno" for post #3.

Here is the finished "Window shelves"... not bad!
