[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Palladian windows in bedrooms. Bedrooms are for sleeping, and any high up windows that are difficult to cover with blackout curtains or shades are stupid.[/quote]

The first night we went to see our now house, it was late, so it was pitch black outside.  As we got to the master, we noticed that there was an enormous palladian window adorned with plantation shutters on the far wall.

Well, I, too, felt the same way as you do, as I love my sleep.  So, that was a little disconcerting to see. 
Needless to say, I thought it might be a deal breaker, because we knew that sunlight probably blazed through it in the morning, and it would cost a small fortune to replace such a gigantic window.

I loved everything else about the house though, so I was prepared to go on a tireless quest in order to find an alternative option to replacing the window -- one that would ensure that it was DARK in the mornings.

We went to see the house the very next morning, and that's when we realized that the palladian window faced NorthWest into a densely wooded area, so thankfully there's barely any light that comes in to the bedroom until about noon every day.

So, in the end, we just left the window & shutters the way we found it, although we did change literally everything else you see in that pic (that's the way the old owners had it, so we took off those hideous curtains, painted the wall color "Palest Pistachio", threw out the ugly rug, etc.).

I'm generally not a fan of palladian windows either, but that's really pretty with the plantation shutters.
I wouldn't mind it in my own bedroom actually.
