That used to be where a window was, the very window you see on the left. I don’t know how they moved it and I’m rather glad I didn’t see them do it, but I like the end result. The room would have been dark without a second window – the new window location balances the room and it looks like it has always been there.

There are three ceiling lights in the closet and a small window.
