Window solutions for the family room

It took me a while to finally be able to find the perfect window treatments to our family room.

We have a sliding door next to a window, about a foot and half away. I was wrecking my brain to find the perfect solution. Do we put 2 curtain rods next to one another? The rod ends will be touching one another since both windows are so close to one another. The other option is to put just one long rod across the whole wall, making it look like one big window? After a few trial and errors, we finally decided to get one long rod that goes across the wall. I bought and returned so many curtains before finally finding the perfect curtains. I wanted white curtains in 95” length and it needed to be able to block the lights since it’s the TV room. After searching high and low, I found the curtains that had everything that we needed at a reasonable price from JC Penney. They were on sale and there was a special going on where if you spend over $100, you get an extra $20 off. So the 4 panels ended costing me about $100 with tax. Not bad for the type of curtains we got. John found the rod from Bed, Bath and Beyond, it was on clearance and after 20% coupon off, it cost about $40. We had to go to Bed, Bath and Beyond, because most places doesn’t carry the 144” length curtain rods.  

The house is still in work, so don’t mind the funny stuff that are laying around. :-) I love the new curtains, it instantly makes the house look more homey and the white instantly brightens up the room.
