MEAD. The sash windows in my sonโs room were a real mess. However, I knew that with a little bit of DIY work and by dressing them up, I could elongate their life and make them look a whole lot better! After sanding back the sash window frames, filling any problem areas, priming them and painting them blue, I replaced the rusty old hardware with some beautiful new window furniture from @corstonarchitecturaldetail .
Designed and engineered in the UK and made from real solid brass, I already have Corston Architectural Detail knobs on all of my kitchen cabinets, so I knew the quality was amazing.
This time, I went for the polished nickel finish for the window fasteners, stops and lifts, as they will stay looking shiny and new without the need for any metal treatments or buffing further down the line. I loved the finish next to the soft blue the windows were now painted in and their bright and sparkly look elevated the old timber frames.
To finish, I added some new curtains and a DIY pelmet, and this is the final look! I am so happy with how they came out and that Iโve managed to preserve one of the older features of my period home.
