This photo of a weathered wood dining set from your ideabook would look very nice on your deck with that woodsy setting.

I like the idea of a a small bare window in a kitchen, or foyer, but for this many windows, the expanse of black you see at night is eeire.

I would do bamboo shades and only lower at night.

You might consider a white solar roller shade behind a simple box valance mounted to the wall just above the trim. When open you have 100% of the window, and you can lower the blind on very bright days but still have partial view.

Another way to deal with a black void at night is to place a few solar up-lights at the base of selected trees. This would give a nice view of the trees even at night.

I like textile in windows. It brings some coziness. Just some stationary panels. Not skimpy ones.

I agree with Celery … I’d want drapes. Looks cozy and finished, without blocking views.

Wow! Jinx has totally won me over with the photo of those beautiful drapes.
