Transom Windows
I am rather suddenly obsessed with transom windows.
I actually love practically everything about this first kitchen, but especially how the transoms above the doorway add a subtle but powerful architectural detail to the transition from the kitchen to the adjacent room. Imagine just a plain doorway without those little windows. Not nearly as exciting.
source Same idea here - the transom window above the doorway both defines the space between kitchen and dining area, and adds a certain rich character to the rooms.
source A few more examples:
source Two things these images all have in common are that the transom windows are wide and that they all define a transition from one room to another.
And as you might have guessed, I have JUST the place for a transom window like these.
Remember the
kitchen update plans I shared with you a couple weeks ago?
Our contractor started opening up the wall between the kitchen and family room earlier this week and now I'm just waiting on a plumber to come start work on rerouting the pipes that are in the wall. I had someone lined up but he's vanished this week and isn't returning calls so I have a new guy coming by Saturday to take a look.
So
if he says all the pipes can be moved around (
please, please, PLEASE say they can be moved), then the new wall opening will look something like this.
Now picture that same opening with some transom windows across the top.
I can't even stand how much I want this to work now that I've got the idea in my head.
I am obviously doing an excellent job of keeping my hopes in check here.
Nonetheless, I should know by early next week if there are transom windows in my future or not. Hoping yes, though. Really, really hoping.
Hope you have a great weekend!
