New first time home buyer here! I've been taking things pretty slowly, researching and planning everything out thoroughly, and completing each project. I'm pretty proud of what I've done thus far. I have one issue I'm at a loss of ideas for. And I cannot seem to find any inspiring pictures on Houzz for my situation.

Situation: Updating my Bay window

Interior: I love the feature of the Bay window. With out being like everyone else, and stick a sail boat in there... I wanted to know what could I do!? I got natural top/down, bottom/up shades for it. It's at about bar height.... so a window seat is not an option.

Exterior: I also want to update the look of it outside. We will be attacking that hideous walk way next year... and be extending our front porch, which will end just before the bay window. I hate how out dated the siding under neath it looks. Does any one have any ideas/ pictures of how you tackled this problem in the past.

(sorry the pictures don't show more... it's all I had handy in my phone)
