These were Eagle Windows which seems to be a subsidiary of Anderson Windows now. True divided lites, stock sizes. I like the warm, oranginess of local fir, which we used here. Most windows are pine these days--yellower. There's a bit of nostalgia in the use of local fir--an appreciation of local products, uncommon in today's international building industry. If I was building in a Southern Pine forest, I'd use pine. Fir sill and jambs was left unpainted. Wall trim painted. The white trim is less of a contrast with wall paint than fir--which I appreciate, while the warmth of the wood window connects with nature outside.

What type of blind for back door and side window?
Q

I personally have made several roman blinds for kitchen windows and prefer these as they give softer lines than roller blinds, but it depends on the style of your decor to a certain extent. Both the style of blinds in the above kitchens look lovely, because they go with the rooms (the softer edging to blinds on the more trad kitchen, the plain white on modernist one). If you want some color, you can choose the fabric and make either style yourself from a kit, which gives you much more flexibility. Purchased blinds (if they are any quality at all) are much too expensive for what they are, in my opinion!

First, I urge you to buy factory-finished timber sliding sash for the front elevation. I like the idea if contrasting the traditional timber windows with a slicker look on the extension. A Velux-style rooflight is simple and lets in loads of light (remember to get an integral blind), but if you need headroom, a traditional dormer is the better solution. If you want a warmer look and feel for your bi-folds, there are plenty of timber or alu-clad timber products available.

Disappointed in having to have metal trim around tiled bathroom window

I absolutely hate those trim pieces. When you are spending hundreds or thousands on tile to do a project and then finish it with these trim products it looks cheap and tacky. Plus when you are using a classic or vintage tile those shiny metal pieces or worse the cheap white plastic doesn't match. Just ruins the whole thing. I suspect builders like this kind of trim because it fast and easy to use and covers a multitude of sins. You don't have to be a particularly skilled tiler. Nor do you have to do any special cuts.

To tile trim or not to trim?!

I wouldn’t leave tile edges exposed unless they were made to be used that way (glazed edges) or they were butted up against a wall. I’d go for a trim. What is your colour scheme? You could match the trim to your bathroom hardware.
