Need some suggestions on how to dress a short window in a DR++
Comments (3)Thanks. The 2 windows are the same style except that the one in the DR is only 43 inches high and the LR/FR is floor to ceiling. The DR faces west so I need some way to block out the sun so that it is not shining directly in our faces when we use the DR. Most nights it's just my husband and I and we eat at the breakfast bar/island in the kitchen. Any suggestion for a style for the DR? Mai lynn...See MoreWhich window is the best investment??
Comments (3)Of course we want to choose the right window from the start because we want to do it once. I'm not sure there is any window out there that can say that "This window will last forever." After more than 30 years of window installs and sales, I'm sure I've removed every window brand there is and replaced them with something else. I think once you realize that no window lasts forever, choose a window you like. One you really like. Buy em! I like Pella. I like Anderson. I like... There not gonna last forever, so stop thinking and order your windows today. All the best, The Porch Guy Here is a link that might be useful: my album...See MoreNeed help with DR window treatments
Comments (6)I don't see how a fabric panel hanging over a hot water baseboard rad is a fire hazard. Even if it was a steam system the very hottest it could be would be 212F. Hot water rads run even less than that. Your clothes dryer will run up to 240F. Textiles won't spontaneously ignite until 490-1060F. Consider people who have wall-to-wall carpet (much of it olefin or polypropylene with a low melt point) up to and under the rads. So it's not a fire hazard as much as the fabric of a full panel covering the window will capture the hot air from the radiator and hold it by the window instead of allowing it to circulate into the room where you want the heat. However, if you keep to just side panels, it will not block much of the rad and the air will circulate around behind the drape panels and you should be ok. If, however, you are uncomfortable with that, then do a window treatment that goes to the sill instead. There are many options. Go to houzz.com and search on window treatments for some ideas. Or go to country curtains on line and look at their offerings. Re your chandy, it is too high and not centered over the table. The bottom of the light fixture should be 60" from the floor. If your table is where it will stay, with your new chandy, if you don't want to move the electrical box, you can swag it over to the middle of the table....See MoreHelp!

Comments (4)I agree with jck910 on hardwood throughout. The color of your floors and table are very nice. New floors that color would look great with Scandinavian design. Do you have a budget? After flooring, I would look for 2 medium sized couches to start with. You can place them in an L shape or across from each other. Then a coffee table. Do a layout with cutouts on graph paper to check sizes. A nice rug will help bring it all together. Here is a colorful picture for inspiration and one showing some wall storage....See MoreRelated Professionals
