Does this include removing the quarter round windows and replacing them with something else? If it does not, I would just paint any trim around those windows the wall color and otherwise ignore them, and replace the brick column facing on the lowers with drywall.

If you can do anything I’d remove the windows above the doors and do one solid window. It’ll be $$$
So not sure what you can spend here.
I also think accordion style doors would add a lot as well.

Otherwise -

Replace the lights

Cover the brick

And maybe add a beam to the ceiling.

Great space!!!

@HU-187528210 there is a vaulted brick fireplace on the wall opposite the windows,

so I guess that's why the brick was added to the window wall.

The two brick columns don't look like they do anything, they are just kind of floating there visually.

So pretty. I wouldn’t spend a lot, it’s already fab. You could paint the brick on the window walls the same color as the trim. Then decide if you want to paint the brick fireplace the same. Anyway you go, the bones are great.

@palimpsest i really like the change you showed - thanks!

Actually I don't mind it the way it already is, except for the brick not making visual sense to me. But I did want to show you one option for changing the windows.

I'd be tempted to ignore them, but if it really bothers you, I'd just have all the quarter-round windows removed and closed up, so that you're left with high windows that are all rectangular. Depends a bit on how easy it is to modify the exterior. While you have guys up there, have them add some UV film to the exterior of the windows to minimize the glare.
