This morning began the replacement of my 2 front windows! The older ones were "picture" windows, as in they didn't open and had storms on the outside that were too large for me to remove myself... So this morning I took a photo to insure the new look is as close to the original charm as possible....
By 10:30am the old was out - fortunately it was a warm day, as the builder left for the lumber yard (and perhaps lunch too) and this is how it sat for a couple hours!
A bit too much fresh air - thankfully no birds visited!
At some point it was decided that the shutters needed to be removed in order to get the new windows in.....Surprise, the old red paint was underneath, except for 4 blotches of the newer house color that show through the pine trees in the shutter (when they're up!) So this is how Friendship Cottage looks tonight - one new window in, one to go....I'm pleased with how the new one looks and can't wait to be able to open them and let the fresh air in!!!

First time visitor here. Nice to meet you. Your cottage looks lovely!
Love your cottage! Very pretty.
Good luck with new windows. I am sure they will be nice.
Oh, the new windows look really nice and so similar to the original. It will be nice for you to be able to open them and catch those breezes.
Can't wait to see the finished product.
Love,
Sue
