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.

My window could also be referred to as a 'bay window'.
We always called them bay windows. They look nice, but you have to make
sure they are well insulted, including the floor and double pane glass
w/ argon gas or they can get very cold in the winter.

Yup...did a pretty good job. No problems...except for the dog.
He's always looking out it, standing up with his front paws on the sill
policing the neighbourhood. he looks for other dogs, speeders,
skateboarders etc and barks at them.

I hope you put in a bay window bench so he can sit comfortable while
protecting the neighborhood.

He had his own 'club chair' in that spot, but we had to remove it.
He was getting too carried away with his work and I couldn't get a decent
snooze in the Lazy-Boy.
