The moulding I used here is too thick for a single or double-hung window frame.
If you want to do a diamond muntins (yes, that’s what they’re called,) these instructions will only work in casement or picture windows. (Fortunately for you, this blog entry edits out all the failed attempts and focuses on the right way to do things.)

So, I dug back into the far recesses of my brain to tap my geometry skills, bought some supplies, and employed a little trial and error. Only problem-these were rectangular muntins, and I wanted diamonds.

The writer’s windows looked marvelous in the after photo, seemed simple enough to do, and used relatively inexpensive supplies to get the job done. Aside from some annoying ads which popped up, this blog was very useful. Next, I googled “DIY window grids.” Here’s where I came up with this site, which was written by a DIYer who made his/her own rectangular grids. They were dramatic, yet romantic and in keeping with the Tudor Style. I found a picture of a quaint home with white muntins (or grids.) I actually fell in love with the look, and I wanted them in MY house. I started with some research of photos of Tudor-Style homes with white windows. I decided it was time to put the diamonds back in the windows. I felt that style would help set this home apart from all the contemporary/transitional style homes, capitalizing on the Tudor-Style exterior, yet further setting this house apart from the other Tudors also available in the subdivision. I decided to decorate and remodel in a sort of English-Tudor Cottage Style. With our ultimate goal of fixing the old abode up, I’ve had to focus less on displaying my own personal art and more on showcasing the original style of the home. In 2011, we replaced the window with white vinyl casement windows with the intention of showing off some of my stained-glass art. When we moved in, I found some adhesive lead, which looked better than the electrical tape the previous owners had up. But when you got up close on the inside, they looked cheap. The home had diamonds taped to the window for a leaded muntin effect. The original windows were a bronze aluminum.
When we bought it, I was glad to have a “tract house of our own with a fence of real chain link.” What turned me on about this house was that it was very spacious inside and had a huge, fenced backyard for our new dog. We live in a moderately-priced subdivision in St. During the next couple of years, all of my projects and most of my time will be devoted to fixing our old abode of 17 years to enable some other lucky family to ultimately enjoy the comforts of this home.

Why? Because the ultimate goal of this professional gypsy is to sell the house, retire, and head off down the road full-time in our RV. Now that Minnie is remodeled, we are focusing on remodeling our house.
