Question about window height...
Comments (19)What timing. I'm building a custom log home and was at the site today. The first floor logs were almost all the way up and I was able to look around. I walked over to the window that will be over my kitchen sink...and, well... the bottom of the window was about at my eye level (I'm 5' 6"). The tops of all the windows on the first floor were level for symmetry, but that made this window less than fully functional. Fortunately, it's easy for them at this point to adjust and lower the window. (it's on the back, BTW) My point is, some things (especially windows) are hard to discern from floor plans and elevations. And sometimes symmetry from the outside does not equate to functionality from the inside....See MoreQuestion about window treatment for large picture window
Comments (6)Thanks for the advice. I have ordered some swatches from Pottery Barn of their Peyton linen look drape. Hopefully one of the colors will work. I also looked at Country Curtains but didn't see anything that had the linen look that i am seeking. Does anyone know of a good source for drapery panels with that are linen )or look like it?)...See MoreQuestion about an offset window issue in bedroom.
Comments (19)I would keep it on the wall with the offset window and do a fake-out window treatment on the right to match one on the left over the real window. I can't find the pic I was looking for, but this will give you the idea...a drape covering the window with a tie back. Underneath, hang a sheer to obscure the fact that there's no window. To really help sell it, first hang a mirror with a white frame on the right side. This way, even though it has no light coming through, the mirror will reflect the light in the room and make it seem more like a window. It will also add a lot of fabric to the room, which is nice for a bedroom as fabric adds texture, warmth and sound deadening....See MoreQuestions about window quotes in West Michigan...
Comments (45)David, I really wanted to come back here and say I got the windows I wanted, but we went with the Alside windows instead. We really just didn’t have a good feeling about the other companies & I knew that other people just paid half what they were wanting to charge us. I know it’s probably the busy season, so they can do that, but I can’t buy something from someone I don’t feel good about, no matter how good the product. The guys just started this week and will be back Monday to put in the replacement windows and finish everything up. So far, I’m really happy I went with my gut. The windows are not even good looking compared to the other windows we saw, but they are worth what I paid and I definitely did not feel like the Pella‘s or Andersen’s were worth what they quoted. The guys doing the work have done an excellent job on the construction portion so far and they are clean workers & very respectful. So far with just one window and a sliding door replaced our house is holding a steady temperature and it never did before. You couldn’t sit in the dining room in the summer without breaking a sweat. You can’t even feel the heat now. So basically, we’ll hang curtains and shades like we did before, you won’t even see most of the windows. If these windows don’t leak and last a few years, we’ll be happy for the price we paid & we paid what the other companies quoted for the construction alone:/...See Moreintwilight z6a KS
