Ah, bay windows. Even the name inspires a confidence and conjures up a certain image. But what is that image you might ask? Well, it is different for everyone probably. But if bay windows have seats beneath them, they always feel like a special part of the house. For some of us, bay windows suggest an afternoon or serene silence, with a book in your lap and the sun shining through the window, with your feet up on the cushions and the afternoon hours winding away in peace. For others, it feels more like two friends chatting and drinking into the night – thats the great thing about bay windows with chairs, you can sit opposite each other and talk. Still others might see them more as a playroom feature, with toys lying strewn on the floor and animal pillows against the wall under stickers on the windows above. Or, lastly, we might like to image a Jane Austen figure looking out over the fields, forlornly watching the rain trickle in rivulets down the window pane.
