What a beautiful home and great, open space you have! We'd love to help you recreate it so you love it even more. We can create renderings to show you what it will look like with one big window, can help you select furniture, a color palette and everything in between. Since you're into DIY, our online interior design service would be perfect for you! Basically, we work with you to learn your taste. We then create a design board, shopping list with links (furniture, window treatments, etc) and 3D renderings for you and send them through cyberspace. You put it all together. If that sounds like something you'd like to learn a little more about, shoot us a message!

How exciting! Congratulations!

I would suggest keeping in the French country style-- windows are treated individually but use the same fabric and treatment. One way to DIY and save some $$ is to find a photo of a room you like and interpret it for yourself.

Here are some ideas for you

I would be happy to help further, as will many others here on Houzz as we just love design.

How shabby French rustic do you want to go?
