Window Coffee Table

Here is a photo of a coffee table I made out of a window. I left the panes in,put in some old items, then bought a piece of plastic for the top. I bought some legs at a Menard's store.

I did the same thing for our condo in Cabo San Lucas.
I also leave some space and tell our guests/renters that they can add to it if they want.
There is a notebook on it and everyone writes what they added, when and what it meant to them.

I have memories and treasures every time I look at it!

I have also seen this done with a box with hinged "window lid" so you can store your clutter under and still see it.

Cool idea for recycling. I really like that. I also like that you can put objects on it and cover them. Thanks for sharing.

Great Idea! I also found they work great as a picture frame for old family photos or new pictures made to look old using a sepia tone!

How Creative! Really good job and a nice way to
recycle. We built a greehouse with our old windows
but have a couple around here somewhere. I'm
going to try to make a coffee table too.

Thank you so much for the idea.

All the best,

I love your table. How does the plastic lay flat with those items on the window glass? How creative.
