Hey guys, let's talk about replacement glass. Not the most exciting topic I know, but if your existing windows have seen better days, and your not ready to buy all new windows for your house...then replacement glass is a good option.
I've posted this picture of our family room before. But what you don't see in this photo is that our once energy efficient windows behind our bamboo shades had to be covered. The seal between the two panes of glass were broken, causing condensation and cloudiness. So the hubby and I thought we'll just cover them up until we're ready to buy new windows. Well as you know - buying new windows for an entire house is a huge expense...our house is only 25 years old, and the windows still function just fine.
So we found another solution...replacement glass from The Glass Doctor. They replaced the glass in several of our windows that had broken seals and our windows look brand new again. Ahhh, let there be light!
Okay switchin' gears here, but remember I ordered new replacement cushions for our porch furniture from Garden Winds? Well they've arrived and here's a sneak peak..
We still need to power wash the porch and accessorize everything this week-end. So excited to take this outdoor space from warm and colorful...to a lil' more sophisticated & monochromatic!
XOXOXO
Looks great! We have a few we need to replce but I hate to spend money on stuff like that! Do you mind me asking where your bamboo shades are from? I am in the process of replacing all my wooden blinds with them...they look great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea... so happy when people remind me there are options! Let there be light is right... love the look of your windows!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Those bamboo blinds are from Lowe's. They are a great value and they cut them right on site.

Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteThat's our big brown couch that doesn't show dirt, lol! Really though with 2 kids and 2 dogs, we needed a durable sofa. We got this one from Arhaus Furniture. They're kind of expensive, but their furniture is super high quality. We've had this couch now 5 years and it's still here.

We replaced the glass in all of our south facing windows last summer because of broken seals, sort of. It's wonderful to have clear windows again. And a nice tax break since we got energy efficient glass, too.
ReplyDeleteYour room loos beautiful with all the light coming in! I have a question about your fireplace...Mine is raised hearth, also, and has the mulicolored brick but has a shelf instead of a mantel which doesn't make me happy. Did you do that or was it already done? We are debating putting up one similarr to yours ..I always seem to see a shelf with raised hearths. I am also thinking about painting the brick but I have been outvoted!

The light streaming into the room makes a huge difference! Great job on finding an economical option to fix your problem.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I LOVE Arhaus. They are pricey but their stuff is so well made.
