Our's should look something like this too. The shell already looks very promising. The view is unfortunately not that great, but at a short distance a church tower with trees in front of it is completely enough for me.
With us, the view would be Main Street, doctor's office, parsonage, hillside. But a dormer would have to be built. Up there, the view is good. Nice over Main Street and the town.
I don't like the thing with the books at all. It radiates restlessness and confinement. The one without books looks much more like relaxation and spaciousness.
