Thank you all, The night stand lamps sit on the night stands and a matching pair. The wall where the high boy dresser (my husband's dresser) is is not wide enough for my dresser and the TV is mounted above the high dresser so switching dressers isn't doable. Mimipadv, maybe I need to get a taller lamp for my dresser (or do away with it all together) ?

Thank you so much - this was very informative! Unfortunately, neither says how high above the picture to install the light (and the electrical!). Thought it would be something easy to find, but apparently, I was wrong! :-)

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I had found the above solutions when I researched. Two problems: I don't like the way curtains looked bunched in the center and using only one panel on far left and far right of corner rod does not provide enough curtain when closed. Does anyone think I have enough room to hang two individual rods? Or will I just end up with curtains bunched in the corner again when opened. Re the blinds and sheers: The blinds are room darkening because both my DH and I are light sleepers and need a really dark room. So we definitely need the blinds. The house sits on a small lot and bedroom is on the ground floor. I like daylight during the day but want privacy. Need the darkening blinds so the only option I can figure out is to have sheers to allow for both light and privacy during the day. I want my curtains to match throughout the house and already have them; don't want to invest in room darkening curtains and I'm not sure the place I got them from makes that kind anyway.

Thank you for all these suggestions! I measured the windows to see if roman shades would fit, but they're not quite deep enough, and I think outside mounted would block too much of the view. I guess I'm back to trying to mount drapes! The cafe curtains are lovely but some of the windows face neighbors, so I would need more privacy.
