A window from Community Forklift makes an awesome upcycled frame for a canvas print! From a Forklift Fan: “This huge seeded glass old window became a faux window photo frame. It was white originally (I think), and we did a few layers of paint, including a crackle finish. The photo is one I took from the real window of that very same room.” Thanks for sharing your creative project and supporting reuse!

Thanks to a Forklift Fan for sharing the project she completed using salvaged shutters from Community Forklift! She wrote: “Do you know how expensive massive, custom size shutters are?!? I didn’t either (we’re talking thousands just for the first level, random-size windows). So you can imagine my surprise and delight when I found the perfect size shutters at my favorite salvage warehouse Community Forklift! With a little elbow grease, a power washer, and a paint sprayer, I got the exact shutters that would have cost me 5K for under $100!” Thanks for supporting reuse and Community Forklift!
