Steve gave me the assignment to take care of the chosing and ordering of all the windows and doors to our new house. It didn't seem like a big deal at the time when I shook on it, but I am now deep in over my head.
Who knew about grids, casements vs. single hung windows, dimensions of the perimeter of the window....
I'm exhausted. After talking with a sub contractor today, I realized I better do some more homework.
I took Maddie to the cutest park (you must come with me sometime!), I drove around Los Altos getting ideas. I think I've narrowed it down.... but seriously--
Which is better:
1. Single hung windows- the ones that you pull up to open up
2. Casement windows-- ones the crank out
2. Casement windows-- ones the crank out
I just don't really know?! I guess it's just a matter of taste.
Tomorrow I'm going to try and hit the "door" store and see what types of french doors I like. I LOVE FRENCH DOORS. What a great invention. I don't know what it is about them, but they are just lovely.

Those are fun decisions, but they would still stress me out. I think I prefer single-hung windows.
So exciting! I think I like the windows you crank out the best, but I'm sure either will look beautiful. I absolutely LOVE French doors too. Can't wait to see what you choose!
I also love French Doors.
However, My parent's house growing up had the crank windows - and I just hated them!!! It is a pain to crank them - firstly, but they also never seem to open as well to let the breese in - there is that window hanging out there blocking it from coming in... So I would have to say single-hung windows for sure.
good luck with your decision!!
