Vintage Farmhouse Wall Decor with Salvaged Windows

Late February in Vermont means one thing—winter isn’t going anywhere just yet. The wind is howling, the snow is swirling like a mini blizzard outside, and spring? Nowhere to be found. But inside? I’m channeling all the spring vibes with a little vintage refresh.

With my husband away for a few days, I have the house all to myself. And you know what that means—it’s time to decorate! I’ve got the itch to switch, and today’s mission? A charming spring makeover for our vintage mantel featuring salvaged windows and the sweetest teacup display.

If you’ve been following along, you know I recently scored some gorgeous spring antiques (catch up on those treasures in my Antique Finds & Vintage Decor The Coolest Shop Score post!).

Now, I finally get to put them to good use. Let’s get started on this simple teacup DIY—first step?

Clearing off the mantel and dining table to make way for something fresh and vintage-inspired.

Salvaged Windows and Teacups

It didn’t take long before I knew exactly what I wanted to do—somehow, those antique teacups had to make their way onto the mantel. But there was just one problem… they were far too small to make an impact on their own.

Then, like a bolt of inspiration, it hit me—why not hang them from the salvaged window panes?

A little fishing line, a few test cups, and voilà! Instantly, I was smitten.

There was something so whimsical about the way they dangled, catching the light just right.

And the best part? With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, their delicate patterns and soft hues gave off the perfect hint of Irish charm.

How to Hang the Teacups

Creating this vintage style teacup spring mantel was as simple as it was charming!

I used clear fishing line—the kind you can grab at any hardware or tackle store. Since it’s designed to hold weight by the pound, I chose a sturdy 4 lb. line to keep everything secure. After a few snips and a couple of well-placed knots (three or four for good measure!), the teacups were ready to hang.

For an easy and rustic touch, I secured each teacup to the salvaged window panes with a simple thumbtack—no fancy hardware needed!

Once those delicate vintage style teacups were swaying ever so slightly, I layered in some soft home decor accents—daisies, greenery, and a few well-loved treasures—to complete the look.

The result? A great addition to my mantel that blends popular style with a touch of Irish charm, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day and spring!

Where to Find Teacups?

Antique teacups and dishes do not need to be expensive.

You can easily find them at your local thrift or consignment shop for sometimes under a dollar!
