Front Room Front Window: Before & After

Sunday, January 18, 2026 0:01

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The front room is a corner room so it features windows on both external walls. The ones pictured below were on the front wall, overlooking the front porch.

The original front windows when we moved in, May 2009.

The windows were upgraded when we remodeled the front porch in 2016. We replaced the original single glazed windows with an energy efficient window.

How it’s looked since Dan replaced the old windows, Dec. 2016

We got to add much needed extra insulation in the wall.

After Dan finished the wall that incorporates the back of the masonry stove, he turned his attention to that window. But how to finish it? Do we try to match it to the original wall? I think it’s nearly impossible to recreate an original look to match, so it might as well become a design feature. We decided to continue with the rustic barn look to coordinate with the new closet.

After I paint the wall, I’ll put up the curtain rod and my quilt window covering again.

Dan’s challenge with all the repairs and improvements he’s done to our house, is partly because it’s 100 years old. That means they used true 2-inch by 4-inch 2x4s when they built it, which we can no longer get! So the reconstructed parts of the walls are never exactly flush with the original.

One more window to go, and then it’s on to repainting the ceiling and walls.
