Surprisingly, these large hanging lamps are proportionally ideally suited to the low ceiling in the drawing room. 2003 | ![Windyhill, drawing room, interior. Windyhill, drawing room, interior.](../images/img_1/windy002.jpg) |
This large candelabrum is the focal point of the main stairwell, and can be seen equally well from inside and outside the house. 2002 | ![Main stairwell, large hanging candelabrum. Main stairwell, large hanging candelabrum.](../images/img_1/windy003.jpg) |
Over a period of five years, the mirror was remade, the lamps were restored, and new stencils were made, according to the original Annan photograph, from Glasgow University Archive. 2007 | ![Windyhill, main bedroom. Windyhill, main bedroom.](../images/img_1/windy004.jpg) |
Having been badly damaged, eight original lamps were carefully restored. New glass was specially hand made by the English Antique Glass Company. 2006 | ![Restoration of original lamps. Restoration of original lamps.](../images/img_1/windy005.jpg) |
After close examination of original, contemporary, Mackintosh stencils, we repainted the main bedroom using hand drawn stencils. 2007 | ![White bedroom, wardrobe stencil. White bedroom, wardrobe stencil.](../images/img_1/windy006.jpg) |
