Ivylog, I like that idea for the window. I think I am going to remove the cabinets and have them shortened so that the storage is still there but only smaller. I will also remove the hanging down lights and speakers and make them flush. Sleeping isn't the problem, being comfortable to enjoy my morning coffee while watching tv or reading while sitting up is the problem.
Slemnah, that's exactly what I would do too. Fix it right the first time and be done with it.
Our cabinets are apparently at an OK level even with the 4 inch rotating reading lights. We bought a new mattress that is at least 3 inches thicker than the old 'piece-of-junk' Sleep Number mattress as it's a real mattress and still no issues being closer to the cabinets.
One thing I really like about our bedroom set-up is that we have side windows, no window at the headboard.
You could build a new headboard that hinges down for window use and flips up, lock it in place, for watching TV, etc.
