    The first three pictures are from my bedroom. I want to hang curtains in there to help block out a little of the Disney light pollution at night as well as add a little décor. I pretty much know how I want to it look, but my dilemma is HOW. how in the freaking crap am I supposed to hang anything with no space beween the wall and the window. It's a bay shape, but there is no space in the corners. I just can't figure out how to hang them.

    Something like this. Maybe? Maybe not those colors, but I want panels between each of the spaces and on the ends.

    The living room, though, I have NO idea what to do there. I am afraid of blocking too much of the window because of the amazing view there, and I don't want to get rid of any of the light. What should I do there to help it feel decorated?

    I guess the same question for the breakfast nook.

      I don't know, but I love your windows! I really wouldn't want to cover them up much either.

      Anyway, I'll think about it, but I just wanted to say how pretty the windows and view are! I'm jealous!!

        They make curtain bars for that shape - I have a small nook in my LR that is shaped like that.

        We bought one of these, it works great and I'm sure they come in all sorts of sizes.

            I don't know if most of the bay window things will work, cause it isn't a true bay window, but adjustable pole elbows may be just the thing I need!! Thanks!

            I'm thinking nothing needed on the breakfast nook, but maybe just side panels on the living room, without covering any of the actual window, just dressing the sides?

              What do you all think of these for the bedroom?

              The bedroom is obviously mostly brown hues. Will this clash a lot? I SUCK AT DECORATING!!!!

                Oh those are pretty! If you go to some decorating fabric stores they can usually custom make simple panels for you

                  Windows, help!!!

                  I got the curtains in the mail today. I only paid $45 per panel (Bellacor.com)!!! They're 120" long. I like them. Now to go find rods.



                  I need to find some nice pillows and things to bring the room together.

                        In process. Need more anchors, and I'm going to need one more panel, at least.
