We found our perfect blinds and will be putting them up as soon as they get here. Hi Sherry,

We have checked all the sites you guys suggested but we are unable to find it anywhere. Do you currently where we would find a color similar to your bamboo blinds? Drew and May~ Hi Sherry,

Then you can use the regular old blinds and curtains combo (or no blinds and just hang curtains on the bottom window that you can draw open for light and close for privacy. Good luck! xo, s

Right now it has faux wood blinds on it but I never open them so our kitchen always seems uber dark. Should I remove them and try a different covering? (The window looks out to the front yard so I do need s privacy option.) I thought of hanging rod at the top of the arch and doing long curtains and framing it so the arched window does look arched...perhaps doing the bamboo blinds up top...? We have a pitched roof so the ceilings are super high... Help!!!! I have a ginormous window in my kitchen with an arched window on top.

That really helped to see! I wish I could send you a picture of my room...is there a way? I'm having so much trouble with one side of the room in particular(where the slider is) b/c there is literally just 3 inches from the slider frame to the edge of the wall. I don't know what to do!? I could extend beyond the slider on the other side the 18inches, not problem, but I don't know what in the world to do on the other side? Can I like email you or something? HA! It's probs not that easy, huh!? :o) Thanks SO much! That really helped to see! I wish I could send you a picture of my room…is there a way?

I am in need of a solution ASAP! I just LOVE your blog! It's incredible. I want to 'cheat' the window as you suggest, but in order to do that, I need a 15ft curtain rod....obviously, those are hard to come by, and I was hoping I could get away with 2 rods from ikea to save some dollars and put them right next to each other, however I don't know how I would cover up where the 2 come together? This is for our morning room, and there are 3 windows on the wall & I'm trying to give the illusion of one grand window vs. 3 small windows hence wanting the one long rod look vs. 3 small rods in-between each window. Please help, you provide such fabulous advice! HELP! HI!
