Are you open to something other than curtains?

Sure! What would you recommend I buy?

For reference, I need something for these windows too (was thinking roman shades):

Sorry, we don't really have any furniture yet, although we did just make an upholstered headboard.

I like the look of luminettes (hunter douglas) as an alternative to curtains. I think they look neater and are easier to operate and will do a better job of providing privacy and light control.

Roman shades for the short windows would be fine as long as they are in the same color as what you do for the doors.

Thanks Annie. Those Hunter Douglas treatments seem very practical, however, they look very structured and.... cosmopolitan maybe? I have a very rustic and masculine home and so I feel like I need to add some softness to my bedroom.

The small window treatments are something that we would open and close every single day, however, the french door treatments would probably stay open 90% of the time, so ease of operation is not a big deal for me there.

I'm really lacking confidence here, so I appreciate the help.

I agree that drapery panels on the doors and Roman shades would be a great solution. You could select hardware to match your sconces, or to match your door hardware.

This is a company I've used before that can provide drapery and shades, and depending on the fabric, custom to your length and width. Half Price Drapes

i see they also offer hardware now, and 25% off your first order.

Here is a link that might be useful: Half Price Drapes

Thanks Beverly, I had a lot of fun looking around that site. Unfortunately, they don't offer roman shades in linen, and I think silk would be much too formal for my house.

ETA: I do feel a lot better knowing that you agree with the style of window treatments I've chosen.

As of now, I think I'll stick with my RH choice, as my sconces are from RH, so the linen shades would match the linen drapery. I didn't get any feedback on length or width, so I'll stick with my initial choice of 100"Wx96"L for the panels.

Not sure what drapes or what heading, but I believe RH measures the drapes flat. For a 100" window, you'd typically need 300" of drapes so that you'd still have pleats when you close the drapes, otherwise the drapes will be flat when you pull them closed.

If your window and trim is 111", then 100" won't meet in the middle.

Hope this helps.

I was going to buy 2 of the 100" panels for the big window (1 on each side). Could I add a 50" panel to each side if I feel like I need more? These won't be closed often, but I don't want them to look skimpy either.

The OP is planning on two 100 inch panels. That's enough for the few times that she will close the panels, since there are no pleats sewn in.

I would get the 96 inch length panels and have them shortened to within 1/2 inch of the floor.

I would mount the rod high on the wall, just below the log. Hang the curtains, then mark them on the bottom where you want them to end. Have a seamstress hem them. You can find someone by checking the bulletin board at the local fabric store.

Thanks graywings, I will do that.

Sorry I misread. Graywings is correct.
