Don’t you think that small windows have something mysterious, while creating an intimate ambience from inside a home?
I just love these beautiful architectural details, don’t you?

ReplyDeleteBonjour Greet !
ReplyDeleteLes "œil de bœuf " comme on dit en français sont très amusants et font des petits coins intimes et insolites...
Bon week-end !

Hi Greet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous post! Thank you for sharing these lovely petite windows with us!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

You got me thinking Greet - always dangerous... There is something oriental about small windows - how they offer only glimpses of what we know is a larger view. Our imagination then fills in the blanks. Stir in a thick wall and some back lighting, it becomes enchanting.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Post! Thank you.
Cheers,
John
Absolutely beautiful fotos!
ReplyDeletethey are so beautiful
ReplyDeletewith each exuding a different feeling .

Beautiful and open! Lovely and unadorned! Just as they should be!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous post! In our next home I hope to have an oval window on either side of the front door...they exude so much charm!
ReplyDeleteWhile all are gorgeous, I especially love the square windows.
ReplyDeleteKris
All gorgeous! I really like the windows that are set deep into the wall. When we built this home we had three small square windows on one wall in the game room upstairs. The roof line dictated that they had to be small and high. We made the most of it and made the wall thicker so we could set them in a foot. It added so much architecture to the room. Love this post as always, Greet. Have a great weekend. Mona
ReplyDeleteHi Greet, small beautiful windows are one of my favorite elements of designing a home + if they look outside to landscape or to another room in the home, both are delicious! Great post. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com

Greet, your window photos are amazing, but what caused my jaw to drop is the pink cabinet on the black and white floor.
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a lovely post.
I love small windows, especially the first two. Thanks for the beautiful images. Best...Victoria
ReplyDeleteKleine ramen roepen vaak een vorm van nieuwsgierigheid op...je bent benieuwd wat er achter zit maar je moet er moeite voor doen om er goed doorheen te kunnen kijken :-)! Prachtig hoor!
ReplyDeleteIk wens je een hele fijne zondag Greet! Lieve groet, Ingrid
Prachtig , vooral de Franse oeils de boeufs, een lust voor het oog!

ReplyDeleteSmall windows intrigue us and appeal to our child-like wonder of visual balance of form follows function. Love every single window here. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI love small detailed windows. they add such character to the space.

It's all about the details. What a lovely collection of windows, great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteDid you see my piece about Austrian windows a while back? http://www.adeenidesigngroup.com/blog/2011/04/11/windows-austria-soul/ I am sure you have seen many similar ones in Belgium.
Cheers,

Hello Mrs Lefevre!
ReplyDeleteYes! Small windows are wonderful - both from an aesthetic and alluring point of view. They play and tease the imagination for sure.
I remember when I lived in Scotland as a young architect's student. I used to spend my weekends visiting local castles and estates. Glamis castle was one place where my private tour guide pointed out a small window that was set in a hidden chamber in the actual castle. The room wasn't even noted on the original drawings of the building and is said to be the 'secret gaming room'. The legend goes.. (love the Scots!) that the room was once sealed 'mid-game' and the players were trapped and left to die. Apparently one can see a flickering light from the window on certain nights..
Happy new week to you my friend and hope you are enjoying a wonderful Autumn down there!
It seems you still have quite warm weather because we are still enjoying 'Belgian strawberries' here in Sweden! :)
Warm hugs from the North

Good morning Greet - I alway start my new week here (:,

Happy new week of autumn beginning,
Hugs

Hallo Greet,
ReplyDeleteWat leuk we hebben hetzelfde raam!
Tijdens de bouw kwamen ze met de verkeerde aan. Wel zo'n oog maar dan met hout er omheen. Gelukkig zijn we de volgende dag naar België gereden en hebben deze gehaald. Weet alleen niet meer precies waar. Vlak bij Turnhout volgens mij. Ze hadden nog meer leuks.
Mooie post weer.
Hartelijke groet,
Petra
I love your red piece in your home. Did you purchase it this way or did you refinish it yourself? I would love to know how to get the same look.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and posted you as inspiration on mine!!!
ReplyDeleteEach window has a different feeling to it, brought about by either its beauty or position in the house. This collection also shows the transition of the window designs, from the basic designs of the past to the latest artistic ones. The second to the last picture somewhat reminds me of how simple life is in the old days as compared to today.
ReplyDeleteAnthony Blommel
Those are beautiful windows! Each has its own unique feature that makes it different from the other. I love big windows but after I saw this, I might consider adding a small window somewhere in our house, probably in my room!

Oh! I love small windows! Our house, especially my bedroom, has lots of small round windows! I don’t know what attracted to small windows. Anyway, whatever window you install In your house, small or big, round, square, or rectangle, what’s important is that you install it right and it must blend with your overall design.
