Our bedroom actually has three windows, which is a mercy since our bedroom walls are partially underground due to the grade of our lot.
Because of this, the windows are smaller than our upper level windows. But I think having three of them helps to make up for their size (or lack thereof).
One window looks out toward the street, but since we’re partially underground, we mainly just see the grass and fence.
The other two windows face our side yard, but bushes sit in front of those windows. So, we can kinda see the trees and the fire pit out there, but not super well.
I really don’t like having uncovered windows at night, so we close the blinds 365/365 nights.
But one of the first things I do when I hop out of bed is to pull the blinds up. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer or winter, or if the weather is cloudy or sunny.
Whatever light is out there, I want the maximum amount to make it inside my house!
I am super blessed because we moved to the mountains in a small town years ago and my view is a long, wife shot of evergreen trees. I can see a beautiful sky.
My dream room has to supply the view out my bedroom window.
Laying in bed, we can see the beautiful sky plus the tops of our Aspen trees. The window (fairly large) looks out on the backyard, which this time of year (spring), is wild with the greenery of the Aspen trees, scrub oak,a peach tree, an apricot tree, and a variety of bushes and rose bushes. I love spring and summer because our backyard foliage is so green and thick that I can’t see the neighbor’s house behind us. Yay!
Isn’t it so lovely to see green out the window? I love it.
I live in a suburban town in the middle of England so my bedroom window looks out onto my garden, my neighbour’s gardens on both sides, four back gardens and the back of four houses. I long for a ‘big sky’ house and garden as I call it. We can’t move anywhere at the moment due to schools/family etc. so I have to wait it out unfortunately.
East: beautiful maple tree, propane tank, gravel road, pasture, pivot sprinkler. My fence even has boots on it, lol. Picturesque on purpose. North: ramshackle maple tree, trampoline, ramshackle chicken house, windbreak. Not as picturesque, but all mine. 🙂
From one window, the backyard garden with tomatoes, peppers, and squash. From the other window, the propane tank yard, which is also a garden and has a very impressive planting of giant cabbages growing right now. The dirt road is also visible from that window.
You have so much food visible from your window. I am not surprised. 🙂
Our bedroom faces West, so we have to keep the curtains closed most of the time because the Texas sun is no joke, y’all. If the big window were open, it would look out on our street and the neighbors’ houses. There’s also this really weird, small window that looks out on the roof of the lower level and the same street/houses. I have no earthly idea why there’s a window there, but all of the houses of the same style in the neighborhood have one.
This is 100% not our forever house, mainly because we rent. Someday, I want a bedroom that looks out on a yard or even a forest.
We don’t have a window, but rather French doors that open to the screened in porch. The plus is they are big and let in lots of light. The negative is if we open them at night, bugs might come in (Florida). I do love the blinds IN BETWEEN the window panes but I don’t LOVE bugs. But out the doors and out the porch, you can see grass and a couple live oaks and some neighbors. 😉
Oooh, French doors sound beautiful!
I wish we could attach photos and see each other’s views! Mine face west across a field, and “ big picture” are very beautiful. Trees and sunsets. Short view is my garden beds. I try not to focus on the neighbors’ junk in the middle ground!
I have one window that faces the country road we live on. In the spring the beautiful Weeping Cherry tree is full of pink blooms that hang in front of this window.
Also, there are french doors that open to the large wrap-around deck. Beyond the deck is our pool and our outdoor living space on the other side. We also have a small creek the runs through the side yard and then all that can be seen are trees.
Weeping trees are so beautiful, aren’t they? I love weeping willows.
