Most are casement windows approx. 6' x 2'4" which swing outward to invite the flow of fresh air. The operational windows have removable screens.

Tiffany style stained glass windows and doors throughout - roses, peacocks and ribbon motifs appropriate to the American Queen Anne style.

Custom window coverings, many of which are lined with thermal black-out lining and held back with forged iron curtain hold-backs from the Kootenay Forge in the artisan village of Crawford Bay.

Windows in this house represented one of the largest commitments both in time and money.

The two half-moon windows were both custom made at a framing shop using the largest curved glass they could order. Because the windows were going to be positioned near the floor they were also required to be made of shatter proof glass. The fir framing took over 3 months and the cost on the two windows was between $3500 - $4500 each. Three local contractors in town refused to install them because they were afraid they would break them and not be able to afford to replace them. Finally, I installed them myself with the help of a local contractor who worked on the basis that he would not be responsible for breakage. We had to hire a crane as each window weighs over 600lbs. The contractor spent a month installing new headers and footer to properly hold the load. On the day the crane arrived, both windows were installed in less than 2 hours and there were no mishaps.

The rosette windows all carry Tiffany designs from a company in New York. We ordered all the downstairs and upstairs lighting in Tiffany designs as well.

We counted out 24 windows that needed to be replaced. The Tiffany rosettes were sent to a machine shop in Creston where metal frames were welded together that would hold the rosettes. These 24 metal frames were then shipped to Castlegar and powder coated black. From there the frames and rosettes went to Kelowna where they were installed inside thermal units. From there the units returned to Castlegar to the window shop that custom made the half-moon windows. There, fir casings were made for all the glass and the windows fitted into the casings. The completed windows were shipped to Kaslo and installed by the local contractor. I believe cost not including installation, rosettes or metal frames was over $2000.00 each. Real total cost would have been over $3000.00 each.

The same firm that made the windows also custom made all the Peacock doors that are installed in the house.
