Are these awning windows? Do they open outward? - I am looking for some similar farmhouse windows but would like to be able to open them in the rain. These look like awning windows. Can you tell me the make and size of the three large ones on the wall behind the awesome bean bag chair? »
Jeff Chmielewski Actually, we bought the pair at a store in Manhattan.... but if you found some cool fabric, I'm sure you could make your own - or at least make some cool covers for an existing bean bag (might be easier). We liked having bean bags so much in the lounge, that we also put a pair in our media room downstairs.

Many would never think to use this corner room — clad in stain-showing white furnishings — as a lounging area for a new mom and child. But as we can see, the residents of this modern farmhouse in Bridgehampton, New York, don't care too much about spit-up stains; they're too busy enjoying each other's company.
