    How big are the windows? They make cute shabby chic tables for inside or out. Either repainted or not just attach stock legs with brackets from hardware store to corners. Or use large clay flower pots and turn one upside down and the next rightside up and lay the window on top for patio table. Fill pot that is upright with anything interesting from the garden.
    You can also remove the glass and back it with a mirror for an accent piece.
