Tricky Kitchen Window
I'm struggling to do something with this kitchen sink window. We just painted and eventually the backsplash will be replaced. Do you put a curtain here? Help! Thanks!

Comments (3)I want to know who designed that wall around the window talk about imbalance you need at least one more of those shelves for sure. I will wait for the other pics to comment on window coverings...See MoreHelp with dressing a tricky window
Comments (8)Consider making a shelf in back of the window seat, so that the shelf is as wide as the window glass is deep. You'd have to move the window seat out if it is freestanding or build it out if it is built in. Then you can have honeycomb blinds drop from the top or raise from the bottom. Another option is to use hooks to hold fabric panels that raise from the sill, not drop from the top. These were popular in cities in Victorian times because they allowed privacy from nearby sidewalks....See MoreHome Office Built-Ins with Tricky Window
Comments (29)Jennifer - This is something I decided just in the last week….so not really anyone else’s fault. If they had asked me at the beginning I would have just said I needed a solid wall for desk. My builder was a go between with architect and honestly, not sure they were that great, so I’ve figured out a bunch on my own re furniture placement etc. We’re kind of doing what I would think of as a mid range custom home. All of the things you mentioned are things I have considered in my current home and is easily transferable. I’m a college professor…so not a lot of huge needs. Having a desk space in the center allows me to look toward window and be able to glance back toward the doorway. Printer drawer next to desk. 2 acre property so no concerns for privacy. Plug ins below desk area. Room for desk light angled behind desktop. Large enough desktop for monitor and keyboard. Lenox - since the doors are a bit closer to the kitchen, I’m ok with placement. With the open floor plan I am losing one solid wall for artwork, but I can work around that easily. For me, it was important to be connected to the living room and be able to have some visual path to the back patio door for letting dogs out. Placement off the foyer would kind of cut me off from where everyone else is. I also like super easy access to the kitchen as I often bake while in horribly boring meetings and can hear the computer if doors are near kitchen....See MoreTricky windows need new window treatments
Comments (14)I'm sorry but I can't take the cornice down yet - too hard to take down/put back up. Behind it, there are 4 sets of sheer covered vertical blinds. All will be coming down when we do the project. As far as what we need for window coverings, it is mostly decorative and then for some moderate amount of privacy. Sun is not an issue as the windows face north. I wonder if something like this would work but not sure with the windows and space between them being so narrow. I'm ok with doing only roller shades or roman shades but like the panels to soften things up and makes it a little dressier since this is our living room not family room....See More

last yearlast modified: last yeartop /down ,,,bottom up style ....hung so semi circle portion is left free.....i think you can get motorized ..keep the control in a little drawer and when the glare is in your face you can adjust any way you want or leave the glass open at times where glare is non issue. this is not the cheapest route but because of the features and way it would be customized w fabric or material selection...control or strings etc, it is a nice flexible and permanent treatment for this spot. not sure what other motorized selections are available now.....have a look at a custom window treatment place closeby. my neighbor has a sectional couch in her bay window alcove and they have the motorized control for ease for her top down selection on the three windows that you cant reach very well. you just have the one window.....go for something that serves the functions you need. here's something new I think....the portion installed separately in the arc....would you need that?
