Bye Bye Counterweights

The house updating theme continued this week as we made the decision to replace the counterweight windows in our home. We debated for quite awhile on this one regarding the price and the loss of some character to our old farmhouse. But, we are hopeful the savings in energy costs (and ease in cleaning the new windows) will "counterweight" (ha, ha) our initial concerns.South side of the house getting new windows.
A pile of weights from the old windows. D saved one back to use for "decoration" somehow. Our sad windows waiting to be taken away. D saved one of these too for a project yet to be determined. Old windows in the dining room. New windows. These are super slick to clean as both the top and bottom fold inside the house. But because we last cleaned the old windows when D was 8 months prego might have added a negative flare to it too...

Your house is looking great! We have an old house, too and I love (almost) every inch of it.
