Our month-long exploration of SF's signature odd space dilemmas continues! We're taking a good look at our bay windows, and we're starting with Victoria's.
Space planning in a room with a bay window (or two) can be tricky, especially when the bay window provides a significant portion of the room's square footage. It's pretty common to find the bay window set off as its own cozy little nook, as in this layout. But if you go this route in your living room you often lose needed space. We think it's worthwhile to try to integrate the bay window area into the room, as Victoria did in the picture to the left.
What's happening in your bay window?

I wish I was done with my project so I could post pictures too, but I am planning on using the bay window in my living room as the dining area. The kitchen is tiny, so my friend is going to build me a bench to fit the dimensions, and then I plan on putting a round (hopefully Saarinen) table in front of it. I have to wait and see how it looks to see if I should put additional chairs opposite the bench.
Tha sounds great to me. The neighbors upstairs have a dining table in their identical bay window and it's lovely. I've often thought of trying that someday. Hope you post it when it's finished.
