Estate sale find.

I was coming home from a quick trip to the store Friday when I passed an estate sale sign. Naturally, I had to check it out on the way home. They were pretty well cleaned out but I spotted a glass bi fold door that was interesting. They lowered the price from $18. to $8.00 so I grabbed it.

I dragged it in the house and out onto the deck. It was quite heavy. It was a little new looking for me so I sanded it down. See the lines in the glass? It's all one sheet of glass but the lines are made by beveling the edges. I really love that detail.

Then I added some stain to tone down the paint color.
Next, I added eyehooks and some heavy wire and clamps.
Then I put hooks in the ceiling.
When the kids came over I asked the guys to hang it for me. They really didn't have much choice since it was on the table so they couldn't eat until they hung it. I know they all think my ideas are pretty weird sometimes but they kept it to themselves very well!
I think it's cool! I know it's clear glass but it makes me feel I have a little more privacy from my "neighbors from hell". I was looking for some old windows during city cleanup to hang on this end of the deck. I drove around until I was almost car sick and gave up.
I hung it off center because of the grill. Now I'm looking for a regular size one to hang higher over the grill. I have a wisteria vine that was growing on the deck rail so I'll train some of that to grow around the window.So, what do you think? You can be honest. I know my ideas aren't for everyone but that's what makes life interesting!
