Original casement windows are windows to a home’s soul

If eyes are the window to the soul, that makes windows the pathway. The same can be said about your home’s windows. What do your windows say about your home?

For me, nothing compares to the beauty and appeal of 1900s casement or double hung wood windows. They instantly help create spaces that feel infused with history, character and sweet, sweet soul.

Before you rip out those gorgeous windows, consider taking on the project yourself or consult a specialist. Shockingly, restoring an original window costs about half the price of buying a new vinyl window.

If you you want to replace your new stuff with the good old stuff, check out Etsy, Silver Lake Salvage or Pasadena Salvage as many wayward flippers drop off their priceless old stuff there.
