Do you need privacy? If so, would covering the bottom only be enough? I assume you don't need to block the light.

I have a roller shade on my front door (3/4-lite) for privacy at night only. At other times I want it up and out of the way, not covering any of the glass.

If those were my windows, with the nice views of trees and sky, I think I'd only want to cover the bottom half.

Thanks Bunny, I was fixing my original post when you were responding I think. (The site is being very glitchy for me this morning, I kept losing my post).

DH and I just did a test, with him in the backyard, and if I only cover the bottom half we are good.

I think Bunny is spot on, and a lower covering would be an excellent solution.

Ohhhh, cafe curtains would be so charming!

Or cafe shutters:

What about one of the up/down shades, the sort that you can lower from the top or raise from the bottom.

If you want something more curtain like, what about a Roman shade?

What beautiful views! I'd also vote for covering the bottom halves.

Definitely thinking of covering only the bottoms. I kind of like the idea of the sheer blue, but I dont think that is the right hue(or shade).

Love your last choice. Or even an all lace cafe curtain (perhaps vintage?).

Thanks for all your help. Curtains are ordered, I will post a follow up when they arrive.

I like all the ones you picked out. Are they all from Etsy? I really like the third one, as it looks a little thicker, but cannot find it on Etsy ? Can you share the name of the seller?

I need some curtains for privacy in my bathroom. Nine months ago, I hung a towel ”temporarily”.

@Feathers11 I kind of felt like I needed to decide fast, before I know it, it will be summer and guest season will begin.

Of the ones I posted, only the middle one was from Etsy.

Here are the links in order

#1 was Saffron Marigold

#2 Etsy

#3 Bellas Coastal Decor

I ended up going with the one from Etsy, but not in the light blue I posted, she also had a more blue-green one.

The other one I purchased was also from Etsy. It's the below but the embroidered accent is turquoise.

I think I'll be happy and I also think these may be summer curtains and in the winter I might have something beefier. But, time will tell.

I've had both together which I loved, and I've had the cafe curtains alone. You'll be happy with either!

Thank you Localeater!

Wow! You are a fast decision maker, @localeater. I only just now read the post. I hope you will show us how your choices look once you receive them. Your view is gorgeous.

At my old house, I mounted two narrow small rods to the window sash itself and added a lace panel that was shirred on, top and bottom. Now I have just the tension rod with an open weave fabric that covers the bottom half of a casement window.

Your window trim is so nice, I probably would have added window film to the lower window and called it good, but what you've chosen will be very nice, I'm sure. Not sure why the idea of curtains or shades in a bathroom kind of skeeves me out, lol.

When you said "shade," I thought you meant Roman shade.

I have a bamboo Roman shade in my bathroom in L.A., but I have plantation shutters in Cathedral City.

Love that look! You have a gorgeous bathroom!
