Yes, there are window sills. You can see them a little more clearly in a photo of this room:

Loving the clean lines of this space. The lighting reminds me a bit of our Tanzania pendants that we make from fused glass.

Window color - Hello, Love the window color. Is this the standard Pella "brown" or a different brown offered in the expanded colors available from Pella? They look to have more gray than the standard Pella brown color. It somewhat resembles Iron Ore.

We make some fused glass lighting very reminiscent to the pendants in the stairwell. All can be customized to suit your space with almost any number of pendants.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Samantha Schoech added this to Color Guide: How to Work With Primary Colors

A very modern use of primary colors. Bright white sets it all off, so each piece is a little explosion of color.

South Hill Interiors added this to What to Know About Bamboo Floors

This room’s clean lines and modern furnishings are warmed up by the soft natural tone of the bamboo floor. Special ConsiderationsThere is an element of controversy as to whether bamboo flooring is an eco-friendly material. On the one hand, it’s a fast-growing plant available in vast quantities, making it a rapidly renewable resource. It also takes the pressure off other wood species, especially exotics. Bamboo reaches maturity in about five years, compared with hardwood trees that take a few decades. On the other hand, most bamboo flooring is made overseas, and shipping contributes to the material’s carbon footprint. Manufacturing practices abroad can also be questionable. It is important to note that most manufacturers of bamboo floors use a urea-formaldehyde resin during the manufacturing process. Some brands may contain adhesives and formaldehyde that emit toxic volatile organic compounds. Contact the manufacturer to address concerns about off-gassing, and look for the Forest Stewardship Council certificate, which indicates responsible forestry management.
