Thanks for sharing this!

Glad I will have company! I am hoping for three this season! I think I'm going to attempt to do one of our downstairs windows which are stained on the inside. Huge pro is that I don't have to scrape paint from one side (and the more detailed side at that! Woo! But it WILL take some work to figure ou...

Hello my wood window friends! It’s finally window season here in New England and I am hoping to move a little faster this year now that I’m getting the hang out it! Starting to take stock this weekend of my supplies and decide what window I’ll do first. Anyone else focusing on windows this spring/su...

Started taking the paint off the windows last summer to restore them. I have two kids under four so I was careful, but no...

Thanks everyone! There’s a reason I didn’t post any close up photos. 🤪 definitely not perfect, but I’m happy with them considering! And yes, manalto it’s Florentine.

I actually emailed with Jade because she’s about an hour away from me and in the fall I’m hoping she can make it to my house to give me a quote on a few windows I don’t think I can handle and need to be done sooner than later. And she’s going...

Manalto- our two upstairs bathrooms are currently gutted and our master bathe has almost the exact same layout as yours here. What did you decide to do with the shower door? We are trying to figure out what to do with ours. This post has been wicked helpful, but would love to hear how it’s been for ...

Thanks everyone! My house has about 2/3 rope and 1/3 of these ribbons. I’m assuming they were all rope and then replaced with these ribbon things. There’s no weights attached to them anymore, so not sure how feasible it is to convert them back but would sure like to! One is not going all the way up ...
