I love my new Window/Window Treatments

I got a Bow Window! I suck at window treatments. I have woodblinds throughout the house so this is a big step! LOL

The pics are not that great but they are called Day/Night Roman Shades. They have a sheer panel and a fabric panel. The sheer panel is so pretty and lets in daylight but with some privacy. They were not expensive either. I love them!

I did mini blinds split at the center of the doors so I could open the slider side and walk outside. Years ago I bought the 2 inch slats and I loved the look (very plantation looking) but they were very heavy to open. I wore out the cords and had to replace them. I now have 1 inch privacy blinds but I feel like the are not as "open" as the 2 inch. My view feels a little more restricted. I ordered them from American Blinds and wallpaper and they were the Hunter Douglas brand. I hope this helps.

Your second picture is too small, is that the thumbnail version of the picture? It's easy to post your pictures from Photobucket here. Just copy and paste the HTML code into your post. From what I can tell from the first picture, I would probably just leave them bare, as they windows and view are both nice.

We are not window treatment people either, but have started to add some as we've reno'd/decorated a few of the rooms in our house; two bathrooms and our office. They really do help to finish off a room. That said, we're not covering our kitchen bow window, or the DR bow window, though I might consider something for the DR window at some point--just for the window panes themselves, not to cover the whole bow-unit. We used Hunter Douglas' Designer Screen Shades in the Roman Shade style (ours are mounted inside the frames becuase of our window style/frame depth). The shades are very clean-lined and range in sheerness. With the sheerer weaves/fabrics, you can see outside with them down and they allow a lot of light in.

The more shades the more options you have for light/privacy control. I would recommend 4. Woven woods do create a lot of stack when up. So you lose much of your window. EcoSmart Cellular Shades, are energy efficient, low profile(when not in use, you BARELY see them) Below are shades paired with drapery, which can soften the look. The drapery can be stationary panels instead of full operational drapery, which could be difficult with your sofa.

At first I thought you said I got a Bow Wow Window. Funny. Well, it is Wow.

Very pretty. I love the shades and they sound like what I need for my bedroom. Do they provide privacy at night? Where do you get them?

Thanks! The decorations don't really go but neither does my family - LOL!

Pam - LOL! They do provide privacy. I just searched all over for the paperwork and can't find it! I forgot the brand but I got them at Lowe's. They are Day/Night or Day/Eve Roman shades. I think I paid like $28 for these which are 23 in.

Before I had a picture window there and two casements. I always wanted a Bow. It makes me happy:)

Maggie, I'm about to replace two casements and a picture window, too. I was going to go with the same, but you bow window makes me think I might like that better. Thanks for looking for the info. I am sure I can find them at lowe's.

Do the windows open?

Here's a pic from the outside. They have different options - I got them so they are all individually operating and I got the grids just on the end windows. I think I am taking more pics of the window than my kids - LOL!

Aww Mags - how pretty! Your house is beautiful and I love that window! In the summer you can use some pretty sheer curtains that will blow around gently when the breezes come through:-)

Maggie, your windows are beautiful and so are your decorations! And you're not kidding about taking more window pictures than kid pictures, I haven't seen Gracie Goo and her handsome brother in ages and ages!

Maggie I really like what you've done. You're giving me ideas. I haven't had anything at my windows ever since valances went out of style... it's about time I made some decisions. Privacy isn't and issue but I need something!

Good job...and about those kids...

I also hate "window treatments"....and your's look just right....minimalist to say the least!!
How are they about insulating? Maybe that's what I need on my kitchen windows.....and do they come in "colors"...like shades of white...like linen and oyster and egg shell?
I do Oriental rugs and wallpaper and lots of cluttery knicknacks...but the rest better be shades of white!!

Very pretty, and I want to copy you in your choice of shades for the bedrooms in my house.

Your sofa looks almost identical to mine, only a different color. Mine's a brownish red.

Thanks, again. LOL, yes, those little people that live here. You see, the window doesn't move and talk back! I did just now get back in commission with my camera and laptop so I took a few of little red out of the bath this morning. She is just getting over being sick. The other two are from their b'day party which they had together. I promise more to come!

Linda - I don't think I would want these for a kitchen. Just not practical I think. I think the only colors were linen and this yellow/gold.

Sally - My next couch will have no removable cushions:)

Maggie,

The blinds look great! Fantastic choice. I also don't like fussy window coverings.

Linda...white is, next to red, the most notoriously difficult color to work with especially on a window & against some type of white walls. The light coming through the window almost always throws off what you worked so hard to achieve. :( As the light changes during the day so does the color of the blinds. In art school, I always groaned when we got one of those "white on white" assignments! So, good luck to you!

Great looking window coverings Maggie. I need to deal with our TV room big time and these may work.

But the real treat is seeing pics of the kids. Can;t believe how fast they grow. !

The outside view of the window is nice but those kids! Gorgeous. My youngest grandniece has red hair and big blue peepers. She looks like your Gracie, although she's only six months. I LOVE kids.
