My Window Into the World...


It's a window...a simple window, without much of a view.

It's the almost final piece of the bathroom renovation that was begun in mid April and having this installed yesterday was so very exciting.  Yes, I live a small, happy little life if the installation of a window excites me.

You have to appreciate that the window that was in this bathroom was original to the house which is now 50 years old.  That means that the wood surround was original as well and it was not only becoming impossible to keep clean it was showing it's age.

This new window has a vinyl surround and it opens like a dream (the old one was a slider).  All it needs now is a covering which I plan to get today...plantation shutters will do very nicely.  But for now I'm just enjoying the openness and the breeze.

And rest assured, no covering isn't much of an issue.  My neighbours' bedroom window is below and to the left...they are elderly and aren't much interested in what goes on in the bathroom next door.  I hope!

Once the shutters are up I'll do a reveal of the transformation.  I'm still loving it and still go in there frequently just to look and to fluff and change around the decor.  It makes me happy.

  1. Ah I can comment again now too , my computer wasn't letting me on yesterday either. Your new bathroom window looks very smart. I live an equally exciting life and would be well chuffed with a window too. We need a new front door, our house is nearly 50 years old too and the door, although not original to the house is awful, but they are SO expensive.

  2. Dear Sherry,
    We do understand how the things that seem like the small renovations to your house bring such happiness! A year and a half after the fact, I was glancing around our bathroom just last night (the world's tiniest bathroom!) and was so pleased with the color we picked!! Your new little window is very nice!!

    Thank you for visiting The Tearoom today and thank you for your nice wishes!

    Hugs,
    Betty
