I saw an article in the W. Post the other day that basically said replacing windows is rarely a good move. You spend a fortune and alternative can improve existing windows by caulking and even put on a film of something , greatly improving energy efficiency.
This idea fits nicely in my new cost efficient mode!
So now I'm thinking lots & lots of very full sheer off white curtains. Muslin fabric? I have some great curtain panels for the living room I got at a flea market (pale gold polyester that looks like raw silk) but even there I'm thinking sheers in between the panels. Maybe the panels could be set so that the window looks even bigger.
I'm thinking the whole wall of windows in the sun room could have sheers top to bottom. Envision them gently rustling in a breeze....and covering the hideous windows behind them!
Maybe for the girls rooms I could do white blackout rollers and full sheer curtains over them? I love black out curtains, especially for the kids. It is bight as day at 8:30 pm here!
This is going to be so fun!

I would love to do curtain shopping with you! I need new curtains in my bedroom too.
In a house I used scrim as a layer of window treatment and let it puddle on the floor. Food for thought. It was cheap and very cute.
