Thanks everyone. I have been busy trying to clean the sawmill that doubles as my bedroom but now I'm back to curtains. It's a serious issue because the bathroom is more than ready to be used (at least the toilet and sink). Yes, I saw those country curtain viol panels. Thought about a shade (my DD votes for that one too.) I *hate* the thought of driving for 45 minutes to be able to find something I can look at in person. Frosted windows was the original plan but DH nixed that idea because the doors are antiques and he wants the beveled lights. (Really, I think he was intimidated by the frosting process). I'll look for shades but am wondering if I'd be able to take the time to pull them down every time and still make the toilet. :+" Thanks everyone.

First it depends on the width of the panels. I just finished hanging panels for an 8ft X 8ft. Sliding glass door. The panels were 45" wide X 96" long. I needed 6 of them. BTW, Tuesday Morning has some BEAUTIFUL ones right now. Nice and long. They are $49.00 for a pair. I didn't get the 49.00 ones because I wanted silk. But you wouldn't be disappointed in them. Or the price. That's for a pair.

My door got trimmed a bit to fit and get rid of some dings so the hinge mortises got trimmed off. Procrastinator that I am, I never got around to putting the pull hardware on and just used the hole left from the knob. There was a recessed cup pull I had my eye on to use though. It would have completely taken care of my knob hole. It would depend on what type of knob and lock set was on your door. One edge on each door will probably never be seen anyway once the trim is on.

What's the clearance around the door? Typically your curtain width should be twice the size of the width you need to cover. If the panels are too narrow then the curtains can look skimpy and unfinished. If you have clearance and hang your rod wide then the curtains can be pushed away from the opening.
