Basement Window

The windows in the basement are original, aluminum, single pane, and in poor shape.  Been meaning to replace them for a while.  Bought one as a test, as they are all the same size.  Using the same style as I used on the stairwell.  However, these are not required to be tempered, and to reduce noise I have each pane made in a slightly different thickness.
Here is the old window:
 And the new one in it's place.  I haven't put the trim on yet, as I'll want to match the trim on all of the windows on the house, so I probably won't do the trim right away.  It's purely cosmetic though, as these are well sealed.
Much nicer than the old ones.  I plan to rebuild that window well too, as it's a mess and lower than the gutter drain, which is not where I want it.  This test window fit like a glove, and was very easy to install, so I'll go ahead and order the rest of them.  This will also be the same style window that I will use on the bedrooms.  A test window for those will be here later this week.  I might end up doing all of the bedroom windows first, then do the rest of the basement windows.

Accent Paint

Here the paint is about 1/2 done, so with one coat it's a little splotchy on the wall, but gives a good feel for the color.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it.  This will look good once the flooring is installed.

Accent Wall

Been meaning to add some color to the main living area for a while.
