I was just thinking the other day I would like to make some changes in my living room.  Tired of looking at the same decor.  Went to lunch with a friend, then to ReStore.  Found this repo of The Singing Butler for only $25!  It is quiet large, framed nicely, and in perfect condition and only $25!  Had to have it.  Have always loved this picture. Also picked up 3 old windows for another project I have planned outside - they were $.50 each!

Very nice!   I have "Mad Dogs" by the same artist hanging above the garden tub in my master bath.

@Mom2Dogs, I have thought that  a old window would be great used as many things,but would love one done so family pictures could be used in it.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

@goldensrbest, yes that would work...I have done it.  It is a pretty easy project.

 

I have also printed out pictures that are current for the season, such as winter, spring, etc and cut them to size for the window openings, generally I use flowers and a nice paper stock.
