After all the cleaning, decluttering and purging I did this week, I think the thing I appreciate most is that I now have access to the windows in my bedroom. Sounds like a little thing, but there is glorious eastern morning sun in 2 windows and a softer light in a south-facing one with a pecan tree right outside the window. Now I can get to the curtains to pull them back and have sunlight.
This is my favorite...I bought the stained glass window at an English antique auction about 20 years ago and it's just leaning up against the window, it weighs a lot. It's about 3 feet tall, and it's leaded glass with 3 small colored pieces, one rose colored and two blue...you can't see through the glass, all the little panes are kind of mottled so it gives total privacy and a lot of light. There's a gap at the top where you can see the pecan tree, but though the window, it's just a dark shape.
