Looking for WT suggestions

16 years ago

I hope someone out there can suggest a WT for my kitchen above the sink and also in my breakfast area. Before the remodel I had a non working roman shade above the sink and a pennant type valance in the eating area. They probably would sill work as far as the color goes, they were rust and olive green check but the problem is outside my sink window. It looks out to our screened in porch which has striped shades in green/red/gold/white. I think they kind of clashed. It amazes me that the designer from Ethan Allen picked that fabric. It did go with the wall paper we had at the time, I must say that. The pictures show the windows before the remodel with the checked shade and valance. You will see outside the sink window what I am talking about. I thought I'd get used to the bare window look, but it somehow looks unfinished. There are wood blinds on the windows in the eating area. We do get full afternoon sun on that side of the house so the porch shades are necessary at times. We close them for the winter to keep out the snow and break the wind. I leave that one section open so I can watch the birds at my feeder. So here are the pictures...hope you can help.

Windows before with roman shade and valances you can only see a corner of the valance on the right

Windows now, eating area

Above the sink

Porch, this is what I see outside my kitchen window. It is cedar paneled with screened windows.

It is not that the porch is too unsightly..I just think the shades don't do much for my kitchen decor. Oh, also when the shades are up..the sun glares right into that window. It makes it hard at times. Thanks for any suggestions.
