Enlarging the existing opening to flood the space with more natural light while increasing storage with the design of a custom built in window seat and bookcases has made this space a lovely place to read or just hang out.

elllsworth11 This is the homeowner: I assume you mean the wood floors? They are real unfinished white oak, quarter sawn 2 1/4 inch planks and stained a mix of mixwax colors: 50% Jacobean and 50% Ebony. They are then finished with a an oil based Professional Finish Polyurethan (which is oil based) called Absco (in satin). Your contractor should have no trouble finding these common products. Good luck!
