Adding New Window Hardware
This post is in partnership with National Hardware
I think the hardest thing for me to do when it comes to projects, is finish. I'm really good about starting a project full speed, and then I usually fizzle out towards the end. However, that ends now!
I'm finishing up the windows on our house finally, and I wanted to share with you how to refresh your own old windows in three quick and easy steps.

Repair
I tried my hand at reglazing, and after three broken window panes in the dining room, quickly said no thank you. I called a father and son duo that do this all day long, and what a good decision that was! They knocked it out so quickly.
After they finished the windows, and I let the glazing cure for a couple of months. Yes, a couple of months haha. You really have to give this stuff time!
I puttied over the old hardware holes. Please don't judge my rusty putty knife:)
I love pink spackle, because it goes on pink, and turns white when dry, so it's pretty much fool-proof.
Paint
Hardware
Decisions... Deciding between White, Black or Brass Hardware. What do you think?
I love them all! But I think I'm loving the Solid Brass
No drilling required, just screw them in with a little pressure and a screwdriver.
With all these options, it was really hard to make a decision! I ended up going with the Brass. We have a mix of Brass and Black fixtures and hardware in the bathroom, and brass just felt a little softer.
And finished! What do you think?
So that’s it! Three easy steps to refresh an old window: Repair, Paint, Hardware.
There’s really nothing a little paint, putty and new hardware can’t fix.
THANK YOU TO NATIONAL HARDWARE FOR SUPPLYING ME WITH THESE BEAUTIFUL PIECES!
