These look much better than the old (non) windows.

The new windows reflect the flash a little more than the surrounding trim due to the polyurethane, but in normal light they are a very good match to the existing woodwork.  The windows add a ton of character to the room, which was missing with the sheets of glass.

In order to get an authentic look, we bought stainable, wood Marvin windows. The divided lights at the top of the picture window is a look seen on most of the older homes in Portland. We got the kind with the aluminum exterior, because we wanted to minimize exterior painting maintenance. They look quite good, even from outside. Even though they’re pine, we were able to custom mix stains to get them very close to the existing (fir) woodwork color.
