Restoring our older windows

Our house has beautiful windows and other great aesthetic features. Unfortunately, the former owners didn't look after the house and after a while the structure of the windows and other areas has suffered with swelling and water damage. We decided to work with a wonderful window restoration firm as well as home restorers to get things restored to their past glory. They worked off some older pictures of the house for a plan, as well as having looked at similar houses in the era to work out how the windows and other aspects looked originally. This blog should be a good resource for other homeowners who want to restore aspects of their home but aren't sure where to start.
