Forum Archive : Configuration

We’re converting the bottom 2 floors of a brownstone into a duplex. The parlor level will have a deck with stairs to the backyard. The garden level is configured to have 2 small bedrooms towards the back. Here’s our dilemma: we were thinking of placing a glass door in one of the bedroom to allow access to the backyard and natural sunlight in, but at the same time, we are hesitant to put a glass door in a small bedroom because it would constrict placement of furniture, and because of safety issues. Is it stupid to give up access to the backyard on the ground level or are we unlikely to use the bedroom door anyway?
