Our building owner is changing out all of the apartment's rusty, paper thin windows for some shiny, modern, fancy ones. I hear that the new windows will keep out the noise and dust, and be much easier to clean, but I can't help but feel a little bit like they are ripping out the beautiful old soul of the building; sigh.
plus. someone told me that the new windows don't have windowsills . . . where will I put stuff?
No windsills? So sad. I wonder if you could find salvage and make some great "old soul" shelving?
ReplyDeletesigh. can you come and make some for me?

ReplyDeleteJust gotta have to be a different (wo)man
. . . says THE woman of change :) p.s. we miss you. Israel is too, too far away.
Deleteas I clean the dust and cobwebs and other stuff off my window sills and around the rusty metal frames that hold the little window panes, I have a love- hate relationship with the windows in this old place, mainly I love them. So I sympathize. . .
ReplyDeleteI knew you would understand!
Deleteaw, I love your windows. but I'm sure you will figure out how to make the new ones beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI may need help. (I'm thinking - a ticket to Mexico in your Christmas stocking?) :)
Deleteby the way, I like the way you did the photos, with the tiny line separation between it.
ReplyDeletesweet. I was thinking of you when I did that :)
