Those of you who read this blog on a regular or semi-regular basis (I love all of you!) know that we have been working on the kitchen window project for a VERY long time.
There have been posts on looking for replacement windows, posts on sanding windows, posts on priming windows, posts on reglazing windows, there have even been posts philosophizing on windows…
So there’s no need to go over how excruciatingly long and painful the process was. I will just show you a couple of photos and shut up about windows already…
Note the beautiful detail behind the center post. Note the shiny, stained dark oak sill.
Note the lovely new hanging lamp…
Even Mr. Henry loves the new windowsill…
I guess I could show you a before picture as well…

Thank you all. Mr. H.C. said on the ride home last night, “Whew that is really a burden lifted…” Unfortunately most of the other windows are all ugly aluminum clad and not worth saving, so we will be looking for replacement windows for those…

Your recommendation to read Wendell Berry’s Hannah Coulter was worth the price of admission to your blog. I love it and am savoring every word. Oh, and I like the windows too.

It is a “savoring” kind of read, isn’t it? It’s always tricky recommending a book you love so well…I’m so glad you’re enjoying it!
