There is a wall in our family room that has a window 6+ ft wide and begins 27.5" up from the floor. I'd like to put a bookcase under the window. I just found one that is 29.5" tall.

Also the current window treatment on that window are hideous. 2 questions:

1: Would it look dumb for the book case to come up 2" above the window bottom?

2: What is the best way treat the window?

Thanks,

L
