A few days in the past, we lastly had this oval window within the hallway put in! It’s actually so so good.

POV: You’re standing in Greta’s bed room doorway, staring down this hallway that didn’t use to be right here. To the left is the bonus room, and people stairs lead up into the attic. On the finish of the corridor, you might have the laundry room on the left, and on the best is the upstairs toilet. Once we reworked this ground plan again in April, I at all times pictured a bit oval window on the finish of the corridor.

Right here’s what this similar view seemed like earlier than!

That little door was the doorway into what was once “Greta’s toilet.” What you’ll be able to’t inform from this image is how darkish this nook was earlier than! This photograph was captured with a gradual, gradual publicity to let in as a lot mild as doable. The added window permits a lot additional mild, and it’s my new favourite window view.

This window was custom-made by Kolbe Home windows & Doorways, 24-in broad and 36-in tall (to me, the right oval ratio). We had been conscious of the peak of the window within the toilet in order that it wouldn’t really feel disjointed. Though we didn’t measure it precisely, once I have a look at each on the similar time I’m actually proud of the peak. Clearly, it nonetheless must be trimmed out (and I’m itching to peel off that movie), but it surely already appears so good. I can’t wait to type a bit bench or slender desk on this nook!

Fortunately, there was minor electrical that wanted shifting, they usually really took care of this after they demoed Greta’s toilet. That’s normally the factor to look out for when putting in a window the place there isn’t one!

From the outside of the home, right here’s the earlier than and after.

As you’ll be able to inform, the window hugs that brick wall! We thought there could be a bit extra wiggle room, however apparently, there was some form of error with measurement, so we had to choose on set up day. Both scootch the window to the brick, however preserve it centered on the within, or off-center the oval window inside to present extra space between the brick. A comfortable window on the surface of the home I can stay with, an off-center window in that little hallway, I couldn’t.

They did must re-route the gutter to make room, they usually have some siding to restore (utilizing the siding they took off), however total I’m proud of it! I believe the window in Greta’s toilet balances it very well.

How a lot does putting in a window price?

In accordance with this text, putting in a window to an current wall can vary from $1,000 to $5,000 per window, NOT together with the price of the window. For this window, we spent about $1,500 on set up, framing, and siding restore. The drywall patching and trim might be about $750. Since we custom-made this window, and likewise as a result of oval home windows are usually far more costly, the window itself was $5,500.

We’ve talked a bit about our massive plans to put in a big window and doorways down in the lounge, and I really met with the architect simply yesterday! We’re nonetheless brainstorming what’s doable and speaking via concepts, however I’m certain that window might be in a complete different worth bracket. I think about putting in a window on a brick wall vs. siding will even up the price.

Seeing all the sunshine coming in simply from this tiny window makes me so excited concerning the prospects in the lounge!

Putting in a window is a design selection that may make all of the distinction! You possibly can have all the gorgeous issues and the prettiest paint colours, however they’ll solely going to look nearly as good as your lighting will enable for. We’ve put in home windows many occasions and have by no means regretted doing it. We’re speaking evening and day variations!
