Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

We have now also completed our second house on the property.

Here is also a picture of the sunrise taken from the kitchen window.

Oh... snow [emoji2]
It is supposed to arrive here tomorrow as well. I’m curious to see. It’s already chilly, and mulled wine tastes better in cold weather.

Nothing but the truth. The area appears naturally bright, as shown in the photo, but with frosted glass you can only dream of bright rooms.

Hmm, I can’t fully agree with that. Clear glass is definitely brighter, of course. But that doesn’t mean it’s dark behind my frosted door. Much more important factors are, for example, the orientation to the sky.

It is not dark behind it, but no light rays actually reach far into the room. Frosted glass only provides diffuse scattered light, which does not penetrate deeply into the interior.
I would always choose clear glass and have it professionally tinted or frosted if needed. An exception might be if the outside area is clearly visible to the public. In such cases, I would generally minimize the amount of glass. A well-oriented building usually faces north, or possibly east, so natural light comes from other directions anyway.

In a publicly visible (entrance) area, frosted glass is still better than none at all. Additionally, the entrance area rarely has more than one exterior wall.
