All windows have some weight above them bearing down, so a structural header or lintel is necessary to distribute that weight around the window. If you are enlarging the size of an existing opening, have an engineer calculate what size the header or lintel needs to be. Here a large wood lintel adds character to the home. The stone sill here is an excellent choice as well — a lot of water will run down the front of your windows in a storm, and stone, unlike wood, will never rot.

A lintel over a window is also known as a header.

"As the owner is very into landscaping and gardening, she devised a layout for the front brick courtyard and plantings," Murphy says. The bricks on the entry terrace were reclaimed from the streets of Minneapolis.

Would it be too wild if we faced part of the back of the house in stone, as in this picture?
