Sure looks like windows to me! Are you gonna plant some flowers and put some garden junk all around it now? That would make it perfect. ;o) Luvs

wow what a great use for an old door too. Looks fabulous. Are you going to try and put hinges on your windows so you can prop them open, or is that possible? Or are they just hanging on the outside? They look great regardless.

We have lots of Lithops varieties here, I just have my eye out for a couple specific less common ones. Trying to keep my collection of Lithops very limited. Kara - Are they in normal soil, those Lithops you want to repot? If so... probably not the best time to mess with them. I try to repot my Mesembs only when they are actively growing. If already in gritty mix, I haven't been too worried about repotting regardless of time of year. Provided that I am not disturbing the fragile roots much, of course. Gdinie - Next time send me some photos of what they have, if you don't mind!

How about some pictures? For just about every material that is out there, there is a latex paint option that will work, depending on prep. What is the condition of the exterior of the unit right now? Painted, anodized, bare steel?

thank you @ci_lantro ! I was worried that it wasn't safe to continue working on them! the windows are almost fully stripped. i used a citrus paint & varnish remover gel. i wore a mask, gloves, and eye protection and cleaned up debris. thank you SO much. @Stax i considered if the glazing is real wood but it is very heavy and brittle and does not have any graining. this window leaked water during ida so i went to weather proof it and saw that it needed a lot of attention. my husband believed it was in good condition but i assured him it needed repairing. we are in a historic new orleans house and i restored the house several years ago (im debating whether or not it was worth the major investment) and i'm finding many shortcuts the contractor took previously and am trying to fix them. i have 13 more of these windows and 2 sets of matching french doors that need repairing as well. thank all of you for your help! i will continue the repairs knowing that i can do so safely. :-)

I am going to hang window boxes from the windows and plant flowers in them. They are just windows screwed into the outside of the building. Thanks for the comments. I like it too!!!

I love a blank canvas! I know everyone who sees it can just picture all of the neat stuff that you get to do to it! How lucky you are to get your own little place! Cant wait to see what you do. Dont forget to check out the GJ album for TONS of inspiration. There are alot of "sheds" that have super-great ideas! If you are not going to put windows in right now, you could always paint or apply some pics of outdoor scenes on the back of the glass for an extra feature. blessings-sherri
