Improve your view, give yourself something beautiful to look at

Posted by: kellytirman on: November 18, 2008

If you are an urban dweller chances are your homeowner’s association or landlord isn’t keen on you adding bay windows to improve your view. Here is a simple tip on how to turn any an ordinary window into a greenhouse window.

Here is what you will need:

  • Measuring Tape
  • Screwdriver
  • L brackets (four brackets for each shelf)
  • 1/4 inch thick glass cut to fix your window (one for each shelf)
  • Small potted plants and/or collectibles

Prep: Measure your window to determine the size of your shelves and how many shelves you would like in your window. Consult your local glass company for the pieces of glass (I use Theisen Glass).

Installation: Secure your L brackets in place with a screwdriver and place your pieces of glass on top. Once the shelves are in place add your potted plants and/or collectibles.

Nicely done! At first I thought it was a screen you put up (at least from the video thumbnail). Shelves with plants are a much better solution. It looks great.

love it! just wish you hadn’t beaten me to it. ;)
