Hoping someone can help me figure out how to manage this dilemma. My almost finished kitchen in my mongrel Victorian/Arts and Crafts row home has two separate parts. One, the "working" kitchen section is open to the dining room and has a distinctly arts and crafts feel. It has two very small high windows that face a "light alley" between my house and my neighbors and one large window that faces the same way. The two small windows have stained glass panels hung in them. The larger double-hung window has a textured glass lower, and plain glass upper...copied from the original windows in upstairs bathrooms.

The second part of the kitchen is further toward the back of the house and is partially visible from the front kitchen. It's a scullery/butlers' pantry area and has more of a simple Victorian/cottage feel. Oak beadboard on three of the of the walls, including a backsplash between a large sink and behind open and glass-doored upper cabinets. Vintage light fixtures with white glass shades. This area also has a large double-hung window that matches the other and also faces the light alley to the side of the house. In addition, it has two small (40" tall X 20" wide) double hung windows above a large sink facing west, on the back of the house.

I am contemplating using roller shades from The Handwerk Shop on at least the two large double-hung windows. They aren't needed for privacy or light blockage really, because of the textured glass on the bottom half. But the windows feel naked and I thought I'd get one of the stenciled shades and use it rather like a valance, with just 10" or so showing most of the time.

The question is, what if anything do I do with the two small west-facing windows? The more arts and crafts type blind I'm contemplating for the others would not, I think look quite right back there. Just two small plain roller shades in the same color? One larger shade over the two windows (that would mean using an outside mount, but would be HALF the price of two narrow shades). Maybe a simple bungalow scallop on the bottom of it?

Would it be really weird to have two different kinds of shades in the same room?
