need advice: replace with picture window or bay window?

[gregmd]

Hi all, I'm in need of advice on replacing our big living room picture window. More style/curb appeal/home value advice, really.

Should I replace the big window to the right of the front door with another picture/double hung combination? Or should I spend the extra $2k and make it a bay window? I was kinda thinking that the bay may add some curb appeal by adding depth to an otherwise flat front. But, i can't decide whether that is worth the extra cost. Would a bay window add any more value to a house than a picture window of the same size?

As for the inside, it is already a pretty open and spacious layout and is fairly clean and contemporary in decor. Would the bay window not match?

Thanks ahead of time for the advice!

A bay will look loveley.

Do whatever the rest of the street has done. If they haven't done it - they don't want it.

A four section bow window with a projection to suit the overhang of your soffits (eaves) would look stunning. Do you want someone to fit it - I fancy a trip to Maryland (Or as Dylan said in 'The ballad of Hattie Carrol) Marylin
