Unwanted Window, part 2

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

I posted a few weeks ago about another leftover window in the Florida room/living room because of room addition done many years ago by a previous owner. People advised me to leave that one as a passthrough since it's right above the kitchen sink.

There is a second, smaller window in the same large Florida room addition. The other side of this window is in a bathroom.

Obviously it cannot be removed and turned into a pass through since it's part of the bathroom.

I don't know if it could be drywalled over on the Florida room side since the opening of the window is slanted, not level, and I don't know if it would look right.

I thought of putting a mirror over that space but it could look odd to tenants. Is there something else I could attach over it that might be more normal?

This is not a high end house or neighborhood. I could just leave it as is. But I was looking for a way to improve the situation. Thanks.

I tried to post the photo of the window side that's inside the bathroom, but this site is buggy with photos sometimes and it didn't go through. That side of the window has a marble sill. Other than that it's identical to the other side.

Is there any way to attach a bookcase/cabinet to that wall. Or even just place it there to cover/hide it? Hard to tell since you don't show the whole room.

Thanks but I don't think a bookcase would work.

I'll look and see if I have another photo showing more of the room. If it will let me upload it I will.

Are you also closing it up on the bathroom side? I think having a window where you look at the back of a mirror, picture or bookcase is pretty odd and would make me wonder what else was done quick and cheap vs. right. Also, is there adequate ventilation in the bathroom? If you’re closing it up on both sides and it’s only drywall why not get someone in to do it right? Remove the window(s), frame it in, insulate, add drywall, tape and mud the seams, smooth & paint. It’s not a huge expensive job and will look so much better. You’re already dealing with a half assed job, this is an opportunity to correct that and close it up properly.
