Front view windows are suboptimal and need to be optimized

And on the two-pane window on the street side I stick a mirror film ;)

… or also a colored film … in red like the small window top left :)

What I want to suggest is not so much to work towards "the ideal house," but rather to enjoy a "house with character."

That should - also - mean: the solution to some problems does not lie "in things," but in the head and heart. This applies not only to the house you live in, but also to how you deal with life.

You can have the hope for an ideal life, but whether it makes you happy if you fixate on it is another question. Apart from the fact that you might overlook beautiful developments just because they are not how you once imagined them.

I agree with you on that.. it takes practice to put it into practice :)

"Exercise" :D

yes, that's true, but opportunities for that come up all the time (you just need to build a house sometimes :rolleyes:)

we have been thinking about how we could do the paint job. Which option do you like :)

I think the last version is the best (so the one with the blue background), with the others the small window seems even smaller to me. But I’m bringing a 4th option into play, unfortunately I’m only on my phone and can only edit roughly, so the colors are not quite right. I would probably do it like this personally, so the small window isn’t completely swallowed up in the black area and because I like the asymmetry. Anyway, every window is different and then in my opinion this fits, even if the border is always different. But in the end that’s completely a matter of personal taste.
