What the heck is a Captain's window. I take it you have a spectacular
view out that window. There's nothing to prevent you from putting a
couch in your, den, tv room, family room, or rumpus room, is there. A
home just isn't a home without a couch.

Glad you asked.
Here's a couple of pics during construction...

Very nice. Did you do the work yourself? I'll bet the room feels twice as
big after the upgrade.

Our handiman and me.
This guy worked in construction/renovations before going to work at my
wifes' former company.
It made a dramatic difference in light gain and feeling of spaciousness.
The house is a modest two story built in 1940/41 in the center of the city.
The room dimensions are a bit smaller than I was used to in the Cedar Cape
Cod style house I had built during the '70s out in the 'burbs.




Around here, we call that a "bump out." Your descriptor is a lot more
elegant.
