First set of restored windows return

In the last couple of day we have had six of the windows that were out being restored returned to their natural place! When we bought the house (see the first set of photos in the photos section) a lot of the stained glass had been painted over with white paint. It is exciting to see the beautiful colors, that were hiding under that paint, exposed and casting amazing rainbows on the walls and stretching across the floor! This house is the most colorful and vibrant during the day. Even with only six windows back in place, a huge part of the house's character has been returned. We can't wait to see them all brand new and shiny!

The windows were stripped, restored and primed by Cody Wright, and what a fabulous job he did! Thanks, Cody!

Although the windows looks great, there is still much work to be done to make them complete. We have to cut new jamb extensions and sills, strip and repaint the trim, and paint the brick moulds outside. Then-- it will look finished!
