It appears that the sill height is just about the right height for sitting. If this is around 17 - 19" above finish floor, you can set the banquette seating right under the windows. In this option, you would add shallow drawer cabinets all along the window wall. You need at least 18" inches deep for sitting but here a little deeper might be preferable since you've not got an upholstered back area. I would echo the architecture and match half the depth of the narrow area with the depth of the cabinet. That will look nice as it meets the end wall. (on the left in photo 1) I'm guessing that total end wall is 5' and half the width is about 28" - 30" deep. I would make this new seat half that end wall depth. This depth of seat sufficient to fill 1/2 of the end wall solves several issues. It echoes the architecture, it matches up the tile lines, and it provides a comfortable space to turn sideways on the bench seat. Use cabinets that are designed to finish with upholstery just below sill height all along the narrow length of wall. Look for a crypton type upholstery fabric. Then, add loose decorative pillows in the window recesses and all along the seat. These will be used behind ones back, in the window recesses as people get comfortable. Add two small 30" round pedestal tables in front. You will be able to read, lounge, snack, gather for conversation. If the sill is below 17" high off finish floor, then it will not be very comfortable to sit on that side. You could place a shorter banquette with its back to the wall opposite / next to the built in casework, building in a proper slanted back and curved sides. Then when you are sitting, you are looking out.

Hi Kangahhlii! I was referencing a wall mounted shade, it would be considered a horizontal installation because it would draw up and down, not side to side. Check out products by a manufacturer called Conrad. They will have shades wide enough for your window. If you do plan to outside mount, which means directly onto the wall you would have some leeway with width dimension.

I like this one...I like the blue. Any idea how I can best track down the color? I believe it might be a bit dark as well, but I can tone it down. While I like the flat roof of the portico; my door goes right up to the top; barely much trim in between the top of the door and the roof; not sure how it would look; but I certainly would consider it. The door color in this picture looks a bit darker, but it could be just the way the light and shadows are playing off of it. They do not trim in white; perhaps if I used trim around the windows, I could either go with a blue or cream trim instead of white. Also, I am thinking of adding house numbers and a kick plate to the door to draw the eye down a little and encourage the eye to take in the whole door. I also am surprised at how much I like the beautifully stained wood door in the Lakeview. Suezbell, your ideas for the arbor, I love as well - I am a big fan of that look and had considered an arbor from the right side of the door. I love everyone's ideas that suggested changing the walkway from the porch and curving it plus breaking up the driveway so it doesn't run right into the window. To start, I think we will get brave and take down the shutters and step back and take a look...will post pictures. You are all great! Thank you!
