Oh Wow, Thanks Jan, That is exactly what I was looking for. I hate the little skinny poles and that's all I was finding. Also the rod you pointed me toward is much longer which is better to hold it tight than only an inch or two beyond what is needed. I will certainly order the black one you showed me. I agree the black would look the best. Oh, I'm also in WI and bored with the snow now. Donna

I have windows that meet in the corner just like that. You ask about getting on rod that is 'L' shaped but you would still need a "center" support in the corner for it to stay up and that would be awkward. I got my rods at Pottery Barn I believe. All I did was buy two rods that had removable finials. I put up two brackets over each window with proper placement and only put the finials on the outside ends having the rods set so they meet in the middle. Really, nothing special had to be purchased. I use rings for the curtains and they meet at the corner without any gap. If you are using curtains with the rod run through them then there would be a problem with the curtains meeting without a gap but that problem could be taken care of with a little cut in the curtain. BTW track drapes are "in" again and with a very updated sleek new look. These may solve someone's dilemma where windows meet at the corner. http://www.potterybarn.com/products/track-rod-window-hardware/?pkey=crods-finials Here is a link that might be useful: They are

Mine are very simple brushed steel - no finial. I wanted the to just disappear. All hardware in my house us polished brass - older, very traditional house.

These are the options I have of metal rods - brushed silver, granite, brushed bronze and dark copper. I'm unable to find a matte silver without going custom. Thanks for the input Patricia, would any of the above options work in the space?
