While visiting family in Kansas, my sister toured us through an old 1880's farmhouse that was getting a restoration. There was a stack of old windows on the ground and I asked my sister if she could get me one. The cool thing about this window is that it has no nails. It is made with mortise and tenon joints...meaning they interlock with wood pins.
I also picked up three shutters for $1 at a garage sale that happen to be the right length as the window. I asked hubby to combine them with crown molding at the top and a shelf at the bottom so I could turn this old beauty into a wall mirror. Here is how it turned out.

What did I do with the leftover shutter? Made it into a shelf.
