SHOW OFF! LOL
That is an awesomely fantastic space!
I would definitely go with blinds that close from the bottom up.You could have privacy from shoulders down but still enjoy the light and treetop views!
Again ,It is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofantastic!

wow!!! Great space to work with. How about a remote controlled sent of panels that will fold back onto each other but not in bunches like drapes. I am thinking more like like vertical blinds but much wider panels. Another thought - remote controlled shades - maybe a set that comes up from the bottom to keep privacy but allow light in from the top of the window with another set that works from the top.

I think electronically controlled window treatments would well be worth the investment. In fact, I think you should have gotten those windows that turn opaque by flipping a switch but it's too late for that. Look into local companies to come in and give you written estimates.

Aw jeepers, I am not sure there is anything you can do that will really work, so why don't you just sell to me and start over elsewhere? teehee.

Anyway, to be serious, I like both the above suggestions. I love the bottom up shades because I do like being able to see out to the trees 24-7. Electronic controls would be way cool-lie in bed and hit the remote-wow.

Thanks everyone. I know it seems great to have all these windows and I am definitely not complaining, but we realize we could have had almost the same effect and light with 8 instead of 10 - and saved a lot of money (in cost of windows and framing) but the architect shows you the drawings and you think wow, that looks good, and you don't think about whether or not it will be practical in use. Our architect came up with that to remedy an really unfortunate addition done by former owner. They stuck on a weirdly designed very 1980's round addition to a 1920's Dutch Colonial - but in a completely different style from original and tried to make it look somewhat like a lighthouse. From the outside, it just looked like a big round mass of stucco, now it looks much better. But I digress...

Anyway, that's a good idea about the remote control shades/blinds. Do you know if they work well over time. I like technology, but just want to make sure they are not repair prone. I guess I can search and see if there are any threads about that.

I don't know if gliding panels would work for your curved wall, I don't see why not. They would eliminate the bulk at the ends when open. Hunter-Douglas has what they have named 'Harmony Program' where you can get gliders and roller shades matching for applications such as your where there are a couple odd windows in the room.

Check out the whole slideshow below. Gliders come in sheers and opaque and everything in between.

Besides getting remote control for blinds and curtains you can even get them put on a timer. You don't have to lift a finger!

How close are you to New York? I met some some of the reps from this company at a trade show and thought they were awfully nice. They had gorgeous fabrics and hardware, definitely leaned toward contemporary. I am in no way associated...

EAch time that I look at your lovely room, I see soft draperies and a tented ceiling, somewhat like this:

Dilly Dally - thanks - I checked out the gliding panels. That could work. Do you have them? I'm sure it was just bad luck, but I have three Hunter Douglas window treatments in current house and they have all been a bit of a disaster/parts broken. Again, it must just be my bad luck because they obviously have a good reputation.

Amysrq - I'm in Fairfield County CT so close. I will check that out.

Suero - thanks for the photo. That's a cool look, but I am going for something much more simple and streamlined.

No I don't have the gliders. I had been searching for something like a sliding barn door style for between the KIT and DR when I found them. (I hate having a door that swings out into the furniture but don't want to remove the door exposing the KIT to the whole LR.)

Sorry to hear about your experience with HD. I have HD Sillouettes and never had a problem. I adjust them numerous times a day depending on the sun. I've recommended them to everyone I know. Neighbors came over to 'ooooh and aaaaah' over the when I got them.

The reason why HD has a good rep is because they honor their warranties. I have seen them stand behind things that are old and have been moved, believe it or not. If you still have the offending items, you might want to get in touch and see what they can do for you.

I think the cordless cellular shades would like very nice here. Seen them in a similiar arrangment and they looked spectacular. The remote option would be my suggestion. You can have them hard wired but most commonly they are battery operated. They usally last several years before changing batteries. You can get them to all raise together or one at a time.
