Not just any ole window, but a window that peeks from a nicely weathered wall and makes you curious about the inside... a story book cottage sort-of window full of warmth and personality -- with real working shutters (not the just-for-looks, manufactured-in-bulk and nailed-to-the-side-of-the-house ones) and colorful, well-loved flower or garden boxes.
I also love carved wooden doors, claw foot tubs, antique ale and medicine bottles, cobblestone streets, glass door knobs, and old skeleton keys... to name just a few. =)

Add stained glass to your list and I am right there with ya! :)
