Small Pleasures
.
Previously, I posted about discovering small, round, numbered brass tacks along side the window frames.
These would have been matched by tacks on each screen/storm window. So, the latter could be removed, stored, and then put back in the right place.
I love this kinda stuff.
As I finish restoring each window, I gleefully polish up the tacks and reinstall them.
Small pleasures.

Such a smart thing to do.
Ahhh, I remember those. We had them in our old house also.
Learned about the purpose of these bracks tacks in Restoring Ross. Thank you.
The polished tack is ready for the paparazzi.
That’s so cool. We had the numbered tacks in our old house, they were just metal, not brass. Unfortunately all the storm windows were gone.
There is beauty even in these smallest of details! WOW! How fascinating!
Ingenious!
Artistisans & Old World. Craftsmanship are a lost art!
I love how these small things make a monumental difference overall!
Love to learn a little something new to me! Such an impressive detail.
Those are sweet little gems!
But I had to magnify the view to look at your paint job – the precision between colors is incredible!
Ross,
They still make those, FYI, if you are missing any. Amazon and House of Antique Hardware both come to mind.
I never knew this. I totally love this. Thanks Ross!
I love this idea!
