Thanks ptreckel and all!!! It was definitely worth it. The Provia door was about 10k, then the portico build, new window, rock repair work about 20k. So for about 30k it made a big difference and I would def do it again.

I would put a simple window film on the arched window. It will give you enough privacy, light coming through, and cover the bad view. You can use a slightly frosted one, or maybe one that looks like seeded glass to match the style of your home. There are los of options. For the square window, you can use a woven wood shade or other blind. For interior mount, you need to measure using the larger outside frame and look for one that will work with the narrow dimension for installation. I think it would be best to mount a roman shade over the window at the ceiling. Then you get the most light while the shade is up and don't have to drill into the beautiful wood frame. You could also mount a rod above the window and use a simple linen drape on each side to pull closed when you want privacy.

I owe my colleague Charles Ross Homes an apology. He did not know I have not owned a TV for more than 30 years and do not watch television. I never watched Columbo and did not make that connection. I took his comment wrong, and all the blame lies on me. Please accept my apology and continue your valuable comments on all these threads, and our attempts at humor. I am truly sorry. If it is okay with you I will leave my comment to show how how stupid some people (me) can be, or I think I can delete it. (if you know of a Peugeot 403 for sale please let me know)

@Ely M Beautiful inside too! Gorgeous floors. Love those windows & would be a shame to hide any of the features of them on inside. I’m guessing windows are centered on the wall - looks off in picture but guessing that’s angle. I’ve never seen angled rods as @threers suggests. I also think any inside mount blinds would be custom & $$$$ due to shape & I don’t think outside mount fits these windows. I would go with drapes with the rod just above highest point on center window & with panels that split in middle & pull half to each side. I see the vent at lower right so you may need to use shorter length that ends just below sill. Even though the other window just like this one is evidently in another room, if you want to cover it at night, use same kind of drapes so the view is the same from street & the back side of drapes should be white. BTW, love the hanging light too!
