After creating signs on several of my antique windows, I switched gears this week and turned some that had broken panes into chalkboards. I bought a big sheet of luan at Lowes (in the plywood section of the store) and had them cut pieces to the sizes I needed for several windows (less than $14 for the sheet, which is enough to do 3-4 windows, with lots of smaller pieces to use on other projects). I’m a horrible chalkboard artist, but I like to have some kind of artwork on them when I photograph them to list in my shop. My middle son walked in the kitchen as I was making a pitiful attempt to doodle some words in the panes, so I recruited him to draw me a cute country curtain for this window.
I left the original latch inside the window and added the drawer pull to hold some chalk.
The inside edge of it is just deep enough, that I think it would be really pretty lined with antique apothecary bottles with some flowers in them.
Blessings,
they look really good.
artwork and all. :0)

Windows look great. In the process of cleaning out the garages and organizing and found two nice glass windows I want to decorate with stencils. Hope I have good luck like you did.
Always thanks for your inspirations.
