Tall Dark and Handsome
Of course you know I’m referring to the windows in my house right? Sometimes tall, other times dark, maybe handsome?
Let’s talk windows today. Who has all of their windows in their house decorated just exactly how you want them to be? Anyone yet to put up curtains at their place? Got some curtains you love but can’t seem to hang them?
Oh the dilemmas of windows. We’ve been in our house a year and a half ago and I only have two sets of real curtains hung up in the entire house. I am clearly a curtain slacker.
One of my home goals this year is to address our nekked windows. Take the living room for example.
We have a set of three large windows with very large molding around them. I’m talking 118 inches from end to end. Good luck finding a curtain rod long enough to fit right? {That’s not $125, yikes!}
On these I have sheers that I cut to fit onto the rods that are screwed to the window itself. An old house thing I guess.
But there are no other curtains on there at all so I’m thinking of what to put up to bring some warmth and depth to the wall.Sorry for the dark photos, I have to practice taking some of the windows.
We have these amazing stained glass panes on the top.
Here is a close up of the pattern. I’d love to find it in a fabric so I can kind of match perhaps a bottom part of a panel to this. Ever see anything like this of a circle with a square in it in a grey and white?
For now my plan is to find an affordable 130+ inch rod, get some panels for the sides (two? four?) and make my own trim on the bottom because of course the height to the top of the molding {let alone the extra 4 or so inches for the rod placement} is 88 inches. Told you they were large!
It’s a blessing and a curse 🙂
And I need to find something maybe with some texture that goes with but doesn’t clash with the panels to replace the sheers, or keep them?
I know IKEA sells long panels, and I saw Target does too. I am officially on the hunt for window treatments. Any advice?What have you put on your windows?
