We have a stunning tongue and groove cedar and white beam clad cathedral ceiling in our livingroom, but I am stumped on what to do about window coverings for the room's big triangular wall of windows. Currently we have the previous owners double track of white sheers and "wall coloured" pinch pleat drapes that cut the wall in half (at the standard wall height to match the other windows in the room), which I am not so keen on. Surfing the web has only turned up images of similar rooms with no curtains on this type of window (which is beautiful to look at but according to my DH is not an option for privacy issues- our faces the street!). As this is such a typical MCM feature, I am hoping that you and/or your lovely readers may have some advise on what to do. I am more than happy to provide pictures if that's a help. Hi Pam,

But, the windows don't go to the floor. There are huge sills big enough for seats, which is probably what most people have/had guess. But I have plants in one, and pictures in the other. http://retrorenovation.com/2009/12/06/rebecca-keiths-1961-ann-arbor-tri-level-house/ The pic of my living room, you can see it behind the cocktail area.
