When the house was purchased, the living room only had 2 small windows up high and 1 glass door - it was a very dark room. We immediately put in a window to the left of the fireplace, which helped a lot, but we knew we would still need more windows. So, finally, this summer we decided it was time. We hired out the work since we knew it was beyond our comfort level of diy projects.
I use to turn on lights in the living room during the day because it was just too dark and dreary in that room. What a difference the 2 new windows have made! Because the chimney runs up the middle of the wall, a window could not be installed in that area. That blank area will need to be dressed with artwork to make the wall and windows work together as a cohesive space.
The window project did have a glitch: the pitch of the interior ceiling was not the same as the pitch of the exterior roof line. Since all measurements were taken from the outside, when the windows arrived, they matched the exterior roofline but NOT the interior. So I have to come up with a clever way to disguise this unforeseen problem. I'll let you know.
