This past Friday morning the 30th, my husband Eric installed the window in the door of the Tudor home. What a beauty this one is, small and very charming. It adds lots of character to the door and to their home. Here's the installation. (Click on any photo for a closer look).
|
Eric has removed the old window and is scraping the old putty off the frame. |
|
Here, he's checking the frame for fit. |
|
Instead of putty which gets brittle over time, Eric is using clear silicone window caulk to secure the window. Here he's applying it to the frame's interior. |
|
More caulk is added after the new window is in place. Notice the blue tape which was positioned to prevent it from shifting. |
|
Eric tightening the screws to secure the window, as seen from the inside of the home. |
|
What a beauty! Here it is as seen from the inside of the home with the sunlight behind it. Now you can see the beautiful colors and textures that the homeowner and I chose together. Its a mix of glue chip (clear outer), rough rolled (blue, purple and yellow), artique (clear inner), wispy (pink) and clear cathedral (red). |
|
Now their home is truly their own, with a distinctive entryway window that they chose themselves, from the design itself to the color and texture of glass. |
This was a wonderful little project .. Thank you Cyndi and Dan .. You were a joy to work with!
