I like the way they look hanging straight as in the last picture. However, if possible, I would shorten the rod a little. There's a little more rod beyond curtain than I like to see. You've done a great job keeping up with our suggestions and getting back with pictures! I think there is a rule of thumb for that but I don't know what it is, probably about 3".

Thanks to all of you for the feedback and suggestions! Enduring, I do like cafe curtains, and in fact that's the style we had up pre-remodel. I had not thought of wrought iron before, but I can definitely see how that could work. I generally lean toward simple styles, and like the idea of a plain white flat fixture for the center, if I can find something that would not look too commercial. I like that white dome pendant you posted, too, UpNorthHey. I am limited for the over-sink fixture by the distance of the light box from the wall, though. I think I can only go up to 8 or 9 inches in diameter. Those are some cool ceiling fans, robotropolis! I go back and forth on whether I want something more attention-getting vs. fade-into-background, to the extent that any ceiling fan can fade into the background. One of the plainer options I've had my eye on is this Minka-Aire Concept II. I love the industrial/barn style fixtures. I especially like the copper finish option on that Sea Gull pendant, though I'm not sure copper would be a good choice for the room. My only hesitation about this style is that I don't want to veer too far into a cottage/country look to the point that it looks goofy. iroll, I'm glad to hear you are happy with your Ramsjo white cabinets! I mostly hear people complain about how pink they look in the displays, and I will admit that I normally prefer a whiter white, myself. However, I do love how the grain shows through. Thanks for posting about Graveyard Mall - I had not heard of them before. A general question: should the fixtures over the sink and the peninsula match?

I made 4 pairs of drapes for the biggest windows in my house this summer. You just need to make sure you get enought panels (or curtain width) to fit that big of a space. From what I read, your sliding glass doors are 96" wide with an additional 40" of wall space that totals 136" wide. That is a huge area to cover with the proper size of drapes. You will need drapes that are at least close to 160" wide, depending on if they are pleated or have grommets, to hang properly in that space. I also suggest hanging the drapes high enough to not hit the floor but float at least an inch or two above the floor. You may have to buy several panels or have these drapes custom made.

Flipping the sofa and the TV is a great idea. When you do it, I'd get a longer media cabinet. Breezy white curtains will go a long way toward making it feel more beachy, but I'd change out the blinds for shades--probably woven woods--as well. You need a much larger rug, or none at all. And I'd have to change that light over the dining table. Something more casual that goes with your seagrass chairs.
