Doors and windows are one of those things that are so crucial to the feel of a house but are quite often overlooked.

Sometimes, we can go through them and look out of them many, many times a day and never give them a second thought.

When they’re as fabulous as these steel doors and casement windows, though, the panes in your home become something truly extraordinary. |

Talk about intensifying the view! We could stare out any of these doors and windows all day long.
We hope your Thursday has room for a little daydreaming, whatever window you’re looking out. Thanks for stopping by!

I can just imagine having a leisurely breakfast in that cosy window seat.

I love the inside window above what a great idea! I’m going to have to show the husband since we’re trying to add something industrial and this would also let light pass through room to room…love it!

Lindas portas, dão um sensação de infinito na paisagem.
Tenha um ótimo dia.
I am also a big fan….have rarely seen them not look totally fabulous. They are such statement pieces. Love them! Happy Valentines day!
A new “Love” of mine. I never noticed them until moving to the Atlanta area….so many of the lovely, stately homes here have them! They completely change a space and add so much!
I love this look….I just did a post on them.
I love steel windows and door. Back in the Philippines, almost all windows are made of steel – tropical country = lots of storms, and steel pretty much holds up forever! I remember we would re-paint them every other year to avois rust and like I said, they are very strong and beautiful. 🙂
Don’t these frame the view so wonderfully?
Wishing you sweet treats and chic surprises today, Beth & Kristy. Happy Valentine’s Day!
lovely windows……smiles
That is want I want in our our master bedroom – classy, sexy French steel doors! If I only can convince Hubby..
Happy Love Day to your beautiful family – Kristy and Beth.

I need black casement windows in my house!
If I had all of the money in the world I would have windows and doors like this! I think they are especially beautiful opening up onto a garden! Sigh…maybe one day..at least just one set!!!! Cheers to you!
the most important element looking out and looking in!
Just love these too…already have pinned a couple…and now need a couple more1
I would love having any of these rooms. I love steel windows, and these are stunning.
Happy Weekend.

We are replacing all the windows in our home right now and I sure wish I could sneak in a metal one somewhere!
Beautiful post today. Those lanterns in the McAlpine, Booth and Ferrier picture are the best.

Gorgeous! This element adds so much to the rooms.

Industrial yet elegant!
I’ve aways loved the look. With our antique colonial heritage, they’ve always been a tough sell for me here in New England.
What I particularly love about your post is it shows how each window has been designed for a particular application and place, down to the size of the pane of glass and the tickles/profile of the mullions.
I have found a mullion profile from an 1804 Federal home that I will specify for window mullion profiles in any custom window or cabinetry design I do. It brings back the grace and charm to a window or door they so richly deserve.
Cheers,
John
It is so lovely to see these mild Steel Windows and Doors used in such beautiful ways. In these unfortunate days of overly-thick light-killing sight lines associated with modern glazing systems it is all to easy to forget style, grace and inherent strength. Once the domain of purely industrial buildings, we use most of our product now in high-end residential such as these projects as end-users appreciate the pure aesthetic of un-cluttered elevations. Thank you for sharing, and more so – for appreciating.
