I probably would have lowered them a bit to break up the expanse of wall above. How about adding a trim along the inside edge of each side? If you don’t sew, you could buy trim in a color (do you have a color in the area?) and glue or use iron on tape to add it.

Do you need drapes? The puddling on the floor is just a bit dated. Can the table go the other direction?

You have several problems going on here. The first one is you need to decide on a style. What is the style of your house? That dining room has no direction it's going in. Those chairs do not match that table and are way too casual to be in a dining room. But to address the drapes which was your question. I don't have a problem with how high you hung them, the issue is (and the reason they look so bad is) because they are not substantial enough. They are too casual and too flimsy of a material to be in a dining room, and there is physically not enough fabric to make them even worth being there. Also the rod is not long enough. If you're going to hang drapery panels in that room, then the rod should be long enough to almost extend the length of that wall. And then the appropriate panels would hang OUTSIDE of the window covering up most the wall. That will give the illusion that the window is bigger than it is. You will be making a "wall" statement instead of just a small window statement. Then get yourself some actual dining room chairs, an area rug and a chandelier.

how high is the wall the windows are on? i cant tell if its tall or the window is short/low... if its more than 8' for that area, lower the rod to split the difference. 8' or under, keep them to the 'ceiling' there.

I like the look you have going there. Try fuller cream linen drapes and a cream candle style, carved chandelier.

Your table and chairs look wonderful as shown in this last post (turned). Much better I think. Before you move the rod (although I’d widen and add another set of panels for more fullness) what would you think of adding a fake roman shade to cover the wall above the window? I’ll try and post an example.

I do prefer the table turned

Thank you Act One Designs. I am all over the place with light fixtures. Mainly cause I'm not sure about the color. Here are some of the ones I have been eyeing. Do you like any of them?

Olychick - thank you for the visual. Exactly what I was thinking, but my only gripe is the stupid wall that breaks up the two windows. I wish I had photoshop skills, lol...so I could see what the blinds would look like and if it would look weird with the wall.

I added one panel to compare. It does look so much better fuller! Should I extend the rod out further? I could also add rings and clips and that could help drop them down a bit.

I like all of your lighting choices. Make sure that whatever you choose, the lighting fixture fits into the ceiling square. It appears that the lighting pictured in #2 & #3 might not use just one socket. The fuller drapes look better.

I would go ahead and extend the rod out a bit further. Maybe another 6 inches or so. For lighting, I would stick to something that doesn't require the table go a specific direction (your #2 and #3 would). Then you'll have a bit more flexibility should you decide to switch its direction. I'd get something with some black/bronze to tie into your window trim and rod.

Kathryn, thank you! I was thinking well I guess my husband would have to get up there and change the direction of the fixture if I ever change it back, lol...and this is the second time it is facing this direction. This is how I originally placed it and then got bored and switched it. I like that I can do that here. So that's 16ins of over hang on each side? I love all your suggestions! I'm thinking the one from Pottery Barn. Should I add shades?

I really like the first white fixture you posted. It’s unusual and would look terrific with your chairs.

I do really love the white one and thought if I went that direction I could change the rod out to either white, brass, or nickel. If I kept the black rod then I could add a large black framed art or photography to the back wall and maybe a black floor lamp in the corner where the tree is to tie it all together.

This is not the right color shade but it's the only one I could find that would let you see it with the divider in your window.

A fabulous large piece of art work will really finish off the space!

I think since they’d be hanging above the window you should treat it as one and just do one large blind. It will look strange in my opinion to have two separate blinds in that space. If it were me I think I’d just lower the curtain rod a few inches and add at least one more panel to each side. The curve of the upper windows is pretty and it seems a shame to cover it with a blind.

You're welcome Jeannette. Happy to help. I would treat it as one window with the blind hung high-even with the curtain rod. It will make the window appear larger and taller. Another panel to each side will definitely help.

I don't care for the blind...it covers up the prettiest part of the window...

Stay far away from "ordinary" chandeliers in this space...go for unique.
