I don't even know what you are referring to....can you post a picture of the bracket you have in mind?

I'm also curious as to why you would choose a bracket you haven't seen with curtains....

We have (what I call) barrel brackets in our sunroom.
The problem with doing top and bottom is that you won't be able to open them fully ever. Is this what you want? Also, if you don't cover the smaller window, you won't be able to block light for sleeping - is this okay for you?

Where were you thinking of mounting the bottom brackets? Just above the small sill?

I love your window and I imagine you are trying to come up with a covering that will show it off rather than cover it.

If you didn't have the side opening window on the right, I'd have recommended a roman blind. Hmmm...

I was thinking of mounting them where the arrows are, one bracket on each side.

Here's a link to the bracket:

The bracket measures 1/2" x 1 1/4", it might affect how the window opens, but by how much i'm not sure.

@daisychain01, That was our thinking too. We wanted something very slim that we could put a simple curtain on. This way our windows we be the focal point and not the bulky curtains and hardware.

Okay, now I get it. I had thought just the window on the right was opening and the others were fixed, but now i see they all hinge open on the side. So you'd do barrel brackets on all four individually. Sorry, I've got a terrible cold and my brain isn't functioning very well.

My concern would be too much hardware on very slim windows so it would look too cluttered. I would try just doing the top first. If you get a fabric that drapes nicely, it may not be necessary to do brackets on the bottom. That would help keep it from getting cluttered with hardware. I can't help thinking that there isn't another/better solution.

It sounds like you're looking for simple curtains that are shirred on both the top and bottom, like a door panel. Is that right? If so, will these go across the length of all four windows or on each window individually, allowing you to open each window?

If I'm correctly understanding your intentions, the rods really won't show. While the brass barrel brackets and rods are really nice, you could just use door panel rods. They have a really low profile and you can get them with brass brackets. They're inexpensive too.

@TheRedHouse, I would put them individually on all four windows. Do you have a few examples with brass brackets you can show me?

I like the idea of natural light coming through the top 1/4 of the windows. Plus if the sunlight is waking me up, that usually means I've slept in ;)

I have them on my back door....sheers with a rod on the top and one on the bottom. I got my door panel and rods at JC Penney....just look for door panels and rods... If your windows are shorter than a door, you may have to cut and hem a door panel but should work. Won't cover the woodwork and my brackets (thought not brass) do not show.

I found these on Amazon. Country Curtains has them with brass too. I've had shirred panels on doors, sidelights and I made something similar for my kids' play kitchen and used this type of rod of all of them. The brackets never showed - the shirred panels really do conceal them well.
