Goodbye 1960's

Do you remember this picture?


I want to draw your attention to the awful, geometric, 3 dimensional, 1960's, red and white trimmed window...found at the front of our house, right next to the front door.  Bart and I have hated that thing since we moved in.

We decided to pull the window out, brick around the old window and install a new window-since we liked the light that it let into the entryway.



Since Bart wasn't feeling adventurous, we decided to hire a mason-his name was Gary and I would recommend him if you ever have any masonry work that needs to be done.



This was actually a fairly easy project, meaning that it didn't have any snags or set backs and came in under budget.  Here again is a picture of the "before",


and now the AFTER!

Looks fabulous and I'm glad you left a window in that area because it does let in a lot of nice light. Is the basement ready for renters yet?

That original window was AWFUL! Why would someone have even thought about putting that in in the first place is beyond me! I'm glad Bart is finally getting smart and hiring help every once in while :)

You've done it again! It looks SO much better.
