Enjoying your very nice home, but not really seeing the reference to Craftsman-transitional. Are you talking about the outside appearance of the home? The pictures are kind of piece-y, so it is hard to tell how the spaces all come together. The white leather couch by the bar stools seems a bit out of place, but the rest all seems to work together. There are some details I might tweak, like the too-small piece of art over the buffet in the dining area, but nothing else. As for window treatments, silk can fold nicely, but is very susceptible to sun damage, so to do shades from silk would mean a sun-protection lining, and that might affect the folding of the shades. Consider a faux silk instead. I would do the sheers under the drapery in the same color as the roman shades, not in the rust. For the window where you don't want the view, consider window wallpaper in a frosted or design of some kind, that will allow light but block the view.

Becky - don't know if you remember my room and link from up-thread but I've continued to follow your situation and thought I'd give you an update on mine since we have similar large, private settings and goals for views. Much as I love roman shades whether fabric or some kind of woven wood/bamboo, I just didn't want to cover up that much glass with the stack height. We did a test run with a textured roller shade on 2 windows in our living room. That way if we hated them it wasn't an investment in every window and we'd keep looking. Here's what we have, a roller shade behind a cassette. You can see the texture, it's not room darkening but offers excellent light/glare control and privacy. When they're open, they are very unobtrusive and leave the glass bare. The cassettes aren't invisible but if you match your wood they will disappear as much as anything can. Mine are in between my wall and my wood color so they have a bit of warmth to them. We are probably going to use these throughout the house where we need light control. Some of those windows may get additional decoration with curtains, and that's an opportunity to add some pattern and color. Personally, I don't think these have a modern look or really any definitive style look because I chose a neutral to basically disappear. If you chose a wood tone or a color of course they will be a focal point and that to me is where the clean lined modern look comes in. But as a first layer with curtains or even on their own matched to your wood, IMO they can work with any home or decorating style. Hope that helps. It's a tough decision and a lot of money, that's for sure!

Ok, if you want a Roman Shade I would just do one to cover the whole bank of windows. One for the 3 window and one for the 2 window. How tall are your ceilings? Many people will mount the Roman shades higher than the window casings and allow the bottom of the Roman shade to cover just a small portion of the window, allowing for more light. You could do a wooden blind underneath for privacy and light control. In this case the Roman shade does not have to be operational but stationary and the blinds underneath will be what you use for privacy and light control. Bamboo blinds under a Roman shade are also a nice option.

Thank you all for your comments! I think you're right, off white would look just fine as long as it's textured/light absorbing enough to not be too reflective. I wouldn't even mind a white on white pattern, potentially, we'll see what's out there. Thanks again, this project has been a while coming to fruition!
