Upstairs hall (leading to master bedroom) @ MDHQ
There was a small 6×6 room at the end of the upstairs hall which was not quite big enough to be a bedroom (although we have heard tale from a previous renter of it being used as such - he had to cut his mattress to fit inside) but a bit too much for a closet. We decided to attach the room to the master bedroom as a sitting room (see more at the master bedroom project.) We covered the doorway, creating an inset bookshelf on the other side, and put leaded glass windows facing into the sitting room and above the stairs, which provide interesting pass-though daylighting on both sides of the wall.
