windows

yuck. I hate comitting to aluminium windows. I always wanted beautiful  timber windows. I NEED beautiful timber windows for my Hamptons look. But the reality is that we cant have a house full of timber windows this close to the beach....we couldnt open or close the timber windows in the old house because they were stuck partially open and so we lived with the cold coming in and the warmth leaking out.... The weather is just too harsh. So Aluminium it is. However, on the internal north facing court yard, P the builder, has agreed that we can probably get away with timber and have some pretty little timber French doors with side lights. On the front of the house we will unashamedly copy the windows featured on the house on the Dream Home Ideas tab - also in timber. So hopefully with timber architraves and these few timber feature windows and doors, no one will notice the aluminum in the rest of the house....too much.......
