Continuing work on the swinging windows. I have a separate post for details on finishing the top of the bay window roof.
I crackled white paint over the outside and finished the interior with Vintage White by Folk Art. I glued in the acetate, and now the two window assemblies for the front swinging window are complete.
I tacked some acetate in place on the interior trim piece to complete the look of this portion of the window.
I touched up the white paint along the upper edges of the bay trim, added a paint wash of grey. I then glued the exterior arch window trim in place.
I put the swinging window together in mockup form and braced it underneath with a temporary board. This board is supposed to be painted to match the exterior, but I like the way it blends into bay roof in black so it will likely stay as is. None of it is glued in place.
Of course, even with all the careful planning, the windows don’t really close all the way…together, that is. They are too tight when both are closed. I like them partially open anyway, so it doesn’t really matter. I can close one or the other, or leave them both slightly open. At least they work and look mostly convincing.
I need to finish the bedroom wallpaper before I can install permanently.
