Antique Windows Repurposed in the Pergola | on the creek blog // www.onthecreekblog.com

Hey Besties! 🌟 So, you know my love for all things vintage and the stories they tell, right? Well, I've been absolutely smitten with antique windows and their unique charm. They're like little time capsules, bringing a sprinkle of history and elegance to any space. 🪟✨


Picture this: I had these gorgeous antique windows we initially got for our greenhouse. But, as it happens in the DIY world, they weren't quite the right fit there. So, they've been waiting, just like hidden treasures, for their moment to shine.


And then it hit me – why not give them a new life in our pergola? It's all about that creative repurposing, right? 🛠️💡

Here's what I did:

  1. Drill and Hang: I got my trusty drill out and added hooks to the pergola and the windows. It's all about finding that perfect balance.
  2. The Grand Hang-Up: Then came the magical moment of hanging them up. It's like they were always meant to be there, adding this extra layer of character to our outdoor haven.


The transformation was simple yet so impactful. Now, every time I look at our pergola, it's not just a structure; it's a storybook of times past, blending seamlessly with our love for all things home and heart. 🌟🏡

Building a small DIY pergola | On The Creek Blog
We built a (small) pergola!

This was one of those projects that I’ve been wanting to do forever & it finally happened!

Last year, we acquired some old posts & they just sat outside in the yard, waiting for something to be done with them.  Because of bugs, I didn’t want to bring them into the house, so an outdoor eyesore they became!

One day, I decided that they would make a good pergola.  There was a spot in our yard between our water well & our lilac tree that I thought would be perfect for a pergola.  I also hated mowing that tiny area so I wanted to get rid of it!

Finally, after months & months of wanting to build it, we finally did it!
