panel curtains would work nice here

I have a sun setter shade over my west facing kitchen window which I use some. It blends right in under the soffits. At Lowes, I ordered a vertical blinds which are covered in a sheer fabric so they look like drapes. Dropped my coffee the other day and they were splattered but it wiped right off!

We have blinds on our deck doors that stack as you slide them open. We made them extend beyond the window to not block the view while open.

Abbyjean would that work with sliding doors?

S & A decor what is the second picture?

S&A decor for the curtains where would you put the rod? Above the other windows or would they fit just under them?

Yes, as our deck doors slide open. We have 5 panels that just stack as they slide.

I just did a google search and found this so you could see what I mean.
