During renovation, my wife insisted on knocking out the bay window; after the redo, she posted it in the homeowners' group and neighbors rushed to copy it

Renovation is a rather headache-inducing thing, because it not only has to look good but also be practical, and once it's not done well, it's a lot of trouble later. Well, a while back when our home was being renovated, my wife was clamoring to knock out the bay window so it would look bigger, and I insisted on not doing it. After the renovation was finished, my wife looked at the bay window done this way, found it very stylish and practical, and posted it in the homeowners' group. After many homeowners saw it, they all thought it looked good and rushed to copy it!
When we first started renovating, I asked my wife, do you like having drawers on the window? My wife felt that the wind on the bedroom windowsill was strong, and over time it would easily get damp and moldy. I said I wanted to put a row of storage cabinets on the bay window! But my wife still didn't agree, feeling it would take up space, and wanted to keep this spot to give the kids a leisure space. So I had a hard time persuading her, and only then did she agree to let me do it this way.
Of course, many homeowners may have the same concerns as my wife and me, because if the bay window is made into wooden drawers, the windowsill is often exposed to sunlight. If the window is not closed in the rain, rainwater will splash in, and the drawers may get damp and moldy along with the moisture. So when installing, I paid special attention to this point, so when making the drawers, I used moisture-proof treatment. Moreover, I also put desiccant in the drawers, so there's no need to worry about these problems.
And for the few drawers on the bay window, the values should be controlled to a width of less than 40cm and a height of about 20cm. Too wide or too tall will, on the one hand, affect the visual effect, and on the other hand, may also affect the line of sight. So after I finished it this way, my wife saw that it was not only good-looking but also practical. So during renovation, my wife was clamoring to knock out the bay window, and I insisted on not agreeing. After the redo, she posted the photos in the homeowners' group, and the neighbors rushed to copy it!
