What are your goals for your windows? I know you are replacing them, but are they staying the same size? Will you be leaving their current shades on them, and then adding to it?

I don't have goals for them other than they will stay the same size. The moulding will be much nicer than what is currently on there so I kind of think I shouldn't cover them, but am not firm on that. Since the headboard covers a little of each window that throws me too in terms of how to handle that. (The bed would not fit in any other configuration in the room.) The faux wood blinds could go or not. I think I get stuck as the sweep of a sheer seems more 'country' to me and I'm not sure thats the look I want. These are my thoughts ... I just can't seem to get past them on moving forward confidently. : ( wig

I wouldn't change out the wood blinds until the new windows are in. Installing windows can alter the size a little. In the meantime I'd buy sheers and I can suggest Nate Birkus sheers. I purchased mine at Linens and Things and I love them. They are a linen look with a very muted stripe in a muted white and totally transparant. We call them the ghost curtains lol. I only used one panel on each window so they'd be minimalist and it looks fab. I know have them on my french doors too. Love them.

Thanks so much yaygal, I'll look into them. If you happen to have a photo I'd love to see them. wig

I am thinking of getting these panels.
The windows are roughly 35" wide, and 82" from top of window molding to floor. It says the panels are 52" wide per panel, with a 3" rod pocket. If I was going to drape it so that it was pulled back to just one side, would the width of one panel be enough and would I go with the 84" length since it would be draped? If it has a 3" rod pocket, what size rod would I use? I know these are probably pretty elementary questions, but would appreciate your help. Thanks! wig
