I agree that your elevations have plenty going on without the arched windows. On a different note, have you considered possibly adding a second washer/dryer upstairs? It's just and idea but, IMHO when kids get to be teenagers, they should start doing their own laundry and I suspect they'll be more likely to do so if their washer/dryer are convenient to their rooms. Can't tell quite how wide the closets next to the game room are but it seems like one of them might make a perfect spot for "laundry closet." You might need make to the closets a tiny bit deeper but it looks like your game room is plenty big enough that you'd never miss a few inches. Then, instead of dividing the available closet space into two equal sized closets, make the one nearest the game room stairs wide enough to hold a washer and dry and put two 36" wide bi-fold doors on it. I'm thinking something like this... Anyway, as I said... just an idea.

Arches are one thing. But fake brick "arches" that don't even look real are offputting. Baltimore Basilica of the Assumption, undercroft chapel, 1821 See the difference?

Its a shame that someone has painted it, because, it is a very nice looking fireplace. It may cost a bit to get the paint removed, so for now, I would live with it like it is, keeping in mind, that someday, it needs to be stripped. Its a very nice feature in your house, just like it is.

What's the question?
