Window with modern hardware
I painted the living area window Warm White by Americana. Before painting, I added trim to the window since it was built for a depth of 1/2" but the walls are only 3/8" thick. Before installing the window, I sanded the siding and added satin varnish. It's a subtle change, but I like it!
The window handle is by Houseworks and was originally brass. The window sash lock is by Realife Miniatures - vintage stock purchased from another member on the Greenleaf forum. This was also brass now painted silver.
They are wonderfully detailed. I had to look one up to see how it worked since I have different mechanisms in my home. The locks come in pairs - just like the real deal. Since this is a working window and there's not enough room on the window to install both pieces, I used only the one with the round lever. I glued it so that it would not interfere with the window operation while still looking like it might just work.
