New house - need window treatment ideas
Comments (19)That is such a beautiful room! I love the cabinet and the coffee table with the blue finish on it! Those are amazingly beautiful windows and during the day are breathtaking, I bet! I am not sure I can really add any suggestions for covering them at night - in our family room, I lived for a year and a half with nothing on the windows and at night it felt creepy - we have woods in the backyard as well but it felt creepy without anything covering the windows.

Comments (4)I agree and I want to avoid negating the look while providing the functionality - as much as I might like the idea of being in rhythm with the universe, I'm also a realist at heart. One though I had, but it might be too expensive a thought, was to put a recessed, electronic roller shade in the ceiling that can be used at night when sleeping and fully retracted at other times....See MoreAbbey Collier
