Thanks everyone. I know it seems great to have all these windows and I am definitely not complaining, but we realize we could have had almost the same effect and light with 8 instead of 10 - and saved a lot of money (in cost of windows and framing) but the architect shows you the drawings and you think wow, that looks good, and you don't think about whether or not it will be practical in use. Our architect came up with that to remedy an really unfortunate addition done by former owner. They stuck on a weirdly designed very 1980's round addition to a 1920's Dutch Colonial - but in a completely different style from original and tried to make it look somewhat like a lighthouse. From the outside, it just looked like a big round mass of stucco, now it looks much better. But I digress... Anyway, that's a good idea about the remote control shades/blinds. Do you know if they work well over time. I like technology, but just want to make sure they are not repair prone. I guess I can search and see if there are any threads about that.

OK, got the pics! It's a small room so it's hard to photograph the whole thing at once - I'll have to take it in little slices. Here's the bed wall with the bedding looking at it from the doorway. The wall color looks much more muted in the pic than it is in real life - it's a pretty vibrant apple green, more like the next picture. Those lamps came from Homegoods - thanks to whoever here recommended the homegoods lamp selection! Here's a window with the IKEA panel on a tension rod. I tried hanging a dark gray pillowcase behind it to give me an idea what the black matchstick blinds would look like. Please ignore the pile of books on the nightstand and the kleenex hanging out of the drawer - oops!) Moving clockwise around the room, here's the wall with 2 windows. The left window in this pic is the window from the last pic (I took down the panel). Again, moving clockwise, here is the corner between the 2 window walls. Where the shutter is, I'd like to get a big black-framed floor mirror. You can see how the dog crates kind of interfere with the floor-length drapes (though they do a nice job of holding up my temporary privacy screen, LOL!) One more step clockwise, and here's the dresser to the left of the window by the crates. See how close it is to the window trim? I could angle it caddy-corner to free up some space (I used to have it that way), but dh hates caddy-corner furniture for some reason, so he'd be happier if I left it flush. And that's it - another turn clockwise and you're out the door! OK, fire away, brilliant decorators!

Thank you to everyone, this is really helpful. I especially like the Ikea recommendations, we have them nearby. Anele, I would love to wait on the window treatments too -- we made so many decisions about the house in a short period. In the long run, blinds may be the way to go. Our daughter is very sensitive to light. Does anyone have any ideas though about what goes better with mission/eclectic/contemporary style (with maybe a little Asian thrown in)? I was kind of thinking of going with very simple silk-look panels on the ends and sheers in between. This might be simple enough for our style, but what do you think? Amy (the poster, but also one who is digging through many boxes as we are preparing to move back in the house). :)

If you want the window as uncovered as possible during the day, I would look into shades that you can raise during the day and lower at night. If you are fine with having some of the window obscured during the day, I would consider Silhouette shades. The sheers protect the interiors from UV light and help bring natural daylight further into the room. Shutters would be a nice look, but I'm concerned about opening and closing the louvers. I'm assuming since you want privacy at night, you will want to keep the window treatments closed at night. If the sofa is going to be sitting in front of the window, you are going to constantly be reaching over the sofa to open and close the louvers. With Silhouettes, you can get a similar look to the shutters, but you can operate them with a cord (which can be placed on the side of the window that is most convenient to reach) or they can be motorized. Silhouette shades also come in wide widths, so you should be able to cover that window with one shade.
