A Few More Windows...

Well, we are back home again after spending some time with the niece & nephew in Okotoks, Alberta. Didn't have the opportunity to update the blog while there, so here is what we did just after New Year's:

Phil brought in the scary-wooden ladder-of-death to install the trim around the other side of the glass art in the loft wall. Then I had to clamber up to put on a few coats of tung oil. Not my idea of fun....(and hanging over the top edge of the wall isn't too good an idea with a container of oil in one hand...tends to drip everywhere!)


Next window was the one at the bottom of the loft stairs - the glass block one. Very nice....








Last one before we left was the kitchen window. I really like how there appears to be a wave in the top of the trim. It's got a lot of physical feel to it too - in the last picture here - if you can click on it to zoom in, you can see that it's very textured & rough. There's even a knot hole showing the wall behind.
