Interior windows are not a very common sight in most homes, so I think it'll add to the house's charm significantly. But whatever you choose in the end, I'm pretty sure it'll still end up quite lovely.

Would the trapped air bring moisture to that high peak? Would the whole system become much less efficient and increase your heating/cooling costs? Since you have the knowledge that the openings are important for airflow, I'd say use that knowledge and don't close it off. The high narrow windows might turn out to be very easy to live with, and they do look nice from both sides, I think.Amanda B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876594833986505889.post-78832417601638277292014-03-01T10:07:52.161-06:002014-03-01T10:07:52.161-06:00I like option 1 way more!!I like option 1 way more!!Tiffany P Pelletierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442567221540721080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876594833986505889.post-81926064356886438492014-02-27T20:04:08.115-06:002014-02-27T20:04:08.115-06:00I think you should add plantation shuttersI think you should add plantation shuttersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876594833986505889.post-22737627655361349132014-02-26T15:46:30.878-06:002014-02-26T15:46:30.878-06:00I like both plans, and since #1 is less extensive ...I like both plans, and since #1 is less extensive that's the way I'd lean if it were me.

But I also think there are benefits to having the windows that go out to the living room. Maybe start with making the living room windows smaller, then later on down the line add new windows facing outside, you might find that the bedroom is darker without the big holes so you'll want even more windows.Alicianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876594833986505889.post-24760034426247198952014-02-24T11:41:03.372-06:002014-02-24T11:41:03.372-06:00I say option #1 or leave them as they are now.I say option #1 or leave them as they are now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876594833986505889.post-48330102064594142242014-02-24T09:55:30.353-06:002014-02-24T09:55:30.353-06:00Option 1.

It's a bonus that this is the less expensive option. Ultimately this has bugged you long enough (and it would make me nuts, too) that it will be worth the expense, nevermind that the windows won't face outside. At that height, privacy will be a non-issue inside the bedroom. And you can better use that wall for furniture if you like.MLGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980271281175966442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876594833986505889.post-23482616242986344982014-02-24T09:25:52.026-06:002014-02-24T09:25:52.026-06:00I'd go #1 as wellI'd go #1 as wellCassandra @ The Life of CK and Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11532540288050305411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876594833986505889.post-55269852836927925822014-02-24T09:20:35.993-06:002014-02-24T09:20:35.993-06:00#1 - that solid wall appearance in Living Room is ...#1 - that solid wall appearance in Living Room is a little overwhelming.
