A journey

We begin in an under-utilized corner of my house.

 The windows are original.

 The windows are ridiculously ugly.

These guys didn't even open.

They were neglected, leaky and unloved.

They were rusty and sad.

 The basement windows were even worse.

They leaked during the big rains last summer, soaking our poor drywall.

But, wait! What's this?

Big, airy, open windows that really open? Game. Changer.

 How rad is this?

 No leaks! No rust!

 Nothing but light, light, light!

And below deck? The glass is semi-frosted for privacy, so we don't even need creepy basement curtains.

Oh, glorious day!

I've been waiting since December for these new windows and it was so worth it. No matter how much pretty paint and furniture we put in the old window rooms, they just never sparkled. It's amazing what a new window can do!

We still need to paint the new trim in the bedroom and make window boxes (as in boxes that trim the window indents in the basement, not boxes for flowers outside the windows), but whatevs. This is a huge improvement!

Have a good weekend!
