Size of Transom Windows, need opinions on these pictures
Comments (3)I see what you're saying about wishing the transoms were taller ... but are you going to have crown molding in here? You want the trip to have room to breathe & not be squished against the ceiling or other windows. Given the choice of bigger transoms with offset height between the window top & french door ... I would stay with what you have. I think having the window height mismatched from the door would be more visually distracting than you'd think. We have 1 closet in a bedroom where the frame for the closet doors is higher than the frame for the door in & out of the room ... and it bugs me every time I see it. I think they are very attractive as they are, taller transoms would be beautiful but these are very appealing right now....See MoreWindow treatments for awkward, over-the-bed transom window
Comments (9)I would not spend the money to get customized Roman blinds for that window unless you really like the shape of the window and want to highlight it. Just get regular blinds and have them mounted on a board at the top of the window to compensate for the thickness of the trim. It will obscure the shape on the top, but will give you good light control. You could get a pretty print. You could do the same with Venetian blinds. I like Venetian blinds for the bedroom, because you can open the slats to get in light and people can't see into your room, whereas a Roman shade has to be opened wide to get in light. One last thought. I have never had a headboard for my bed. But I have had a quilt hung on the wall over my bed for years. (It is a piece of art.) I've never had a problem. So if you allow a couple of inches between the wall the the curtains, it might work for you....See MoreHow to determine where mold under sink came from
Comments (5)Hi Joseph, yes we already know that my sink is old and needs regrouting and probably new faucet but this still doesn’t explain the new mold & sewer flies that has grown since 5/31. Also when turning on the faucet there is no leak under the sink only when we splash water onto the backsplash is there a trickle of water underneath....See Morewhere to hang curtain rod if no space between window and molding
Comments (1)I think I'd do a ceiling mount rather than drill into molding. If that's not possible, I'd just put it at the very top. I'd only go out about 5" each side on that size window....See Morenotnyc
