Ok we can put the tv up if we have to

Three large square pictures or mirrors would look great in these places, provided you can find some in the right size. Of course, you might keep the mirror over the fireplace and then find two large pictures or prints of famous paintings that harmonize for the spaces above the windows.

I just noticed there are two such squares above the fireplace. You might paint the spaces inside the frame-like trim an accent color, such as black. Then, anything you hang in the two spaces or place on the mantel will be nicely accented by black. If you can find pictures with a black or very dark background (such as still life pictures of fruit or vintage-style portraits of historical figures) for the spaces above the windows, the black or dark color will unify the space and contrast from the light walls very nicely. When hanging pictures above the windows, be sure each picture faces toward the center squares.

For the curtain height, I'd put the rod at 2.25-2.5 foot above the windows, split the difference! If you but the just above the window, you have that dead space (tho if you like a European country style, you could decorate that space with pictures or plates); if you put them at the ceiling, you'll make the room look even taller, which may not be comfortable feeling.

Thank you everyone!!

Oh also...a friend/decorator suggested to take the rod a few feet higher and add a roman shade to make the window look taller/larger. Would you think that may work or should I stick to hanging something above the rod?

Are you putting 1 or 2 panels on each window? As nngirt suggested: hang rod same height as the molding. You do not want anything above those rods and nothing in the top square above the FP. Decorating up there just draws the eye and cranes the neck. You cannot appreciate art that is above your head. Get art that is correct size for inside the molding where the mirror is now. No TV above FP. You have good size windows I don't think you need to make them look taller.

Can you get taller windows? Or put another window above the existing windows? Maybe keep going with the stone up the fireplace to ceiling.

What to you intend do do with the windows in the area to the right? That will impact the living room window treatments.

Thanks! The windows to the right are in a breakfast nook. We weren't planning on putting anything there.
