Duchess's New Home

The eyes are the windows to the soul.

All windows are in (though they are not yet securely fastened). We really like the style of the side pieces for the front door. Except for sliding glass doors, the doors will not be put in for some time yet. There is enough glass to make the house bright and sunny. Well, during the day anyway. Up here in the high desert nights are not bright and sunny.

I promise that one day these panels will not look out upon trash. But the hills look nice.

All the windows are double-glazed for best weather-proofing. The open space above this window will be framed in, but maybe one day we can put a big window up there.

I can see into your soul!!!!! Or wait - I can see into your eyes. Or, I can see your windows through your eyes?

Mom is very impressed with how far they have already come. It looks like we'll be having a festive Christmas in your new home! This year. Right? It will be magnificent in such a beautiful and dramatic home.
