Junk solution FOUND

Leave it to local creative diva, Michele Beschen. She's been making regular appearances on the Rachael Ray show, and it seems I missed the most recent episode (or maybe it hasn't aired yet? I am a clueless one.). However, the web rescues me again:

I rescued a few more windows during our recent Spring Cleanup, two HUGE square double panes painted a lovely shade of mint green and two rectangle single panes painted white about a hundred and two times. I was thinking of them as painting surfaces, but I really like the shelf idea so much better. I know I have some brackets around here somewhere, but I know I can figure something out. Maybe some pretty chain and a DROPDOWN shelf, hmmmmm? All I know is I really have to finish my not-so-little website redesign project so I can get to work with all of my new old treasures. It's killing me to keep away from the workshop!
And it's pathetic how many in-progress projects I have in this house. My walls are pitifully bare. They need some art.
P.S. Who knew about those jewelry armoires? Repurposed for the kitchen AND the garage? LOVE IT!
P.S.S. Now if I can just find a really cool idea for the springs I mentioned the other day. They're about five inches in diameter, taper toward the middle, then expand to about three inches in diameter at the top. Quite unique. Right now, I'm thinking art dolls of my family. But I'm sure if I avoid work a bit longer and waste more time on Google, I can find something much more inspiring.
P.S.S.S.S.S.S. My Mom is totally dying over there. How could she have raised a kid who plays with garbage?
