They’re newlyweds, expecting their first child soon, and are on the hunt for their first home. After looking high and low…THERE. IT. WAS. Right size, right location, right everything! BUT…the master bedroom was a little off. Good size, great bathroom, but just not any one wall for a bed. Too many windows…

So I ask this question: Can You Put Your Bed In Front Of A Window?

I got a mix of responses when I asked this on Facebook.  (by the way….are you friends with us on FB?)

Overall, my gut would say no, but look at these beautiful examples —>
