Where would a roman shade or blind start? Or would you do a drapery even though it will sit on top of the desk? Or a combination for room darkening at night but sheer during the day? Such a struggle!! Any help would be amazing!! The drapery stores just want to sell!

      I live in Canada so I agree. Those who live in sunny warm places may not rely on their heat as much as we do. I have baseboard heaters under the windows. I altered the drapes to stop about 1/2 inch about the baseboard heater. Make sure you install the baseboard heaters that vent OUT rather than UP.

I have very little space on the sides of a slider, only enough space for 1 curtain panel. My sliders are very high, very wide with transom windows over top. Electric roller shades are expensive unless you know of a good place to buy or another option?

    Excellent video! The gifs you included were all silent so the video was still calm and humorous without obnoxious screams or whatever shouting audio might’ve been included with the original gif clip. The pictures are great examples and you use arrows to point to what you’re referring to. I rarely comment, but this video was super helpful. Would you do a video on:
    1. Do’s and Don’ts for decorating a fireplace mantel
    2. Ways to make an apartment rental feel like a home. Everyone says “add pillows, throws, rugs, and plants”, but it feels like something is missing still. Also, I’m not talking about contact paper for counter tops or backsplashes. We aren’t allowed to paint the walls or use wallpaper.
    3. How to optimize a bedroom that needs to serve at least 4 purposes - office for 2 people + guest bedroom + art space + cat room (litter boxes & cat tree & food/water bowls)
    Thanks for considering!!!

    • @PoshPennies

    Hello! Perhaps some of you can help me. I have windows that but up against my fireplace on either side, yet leave approximately 2' of space between the outer edge of each window and each opposing wall. I know Vivienne says just not to do curtains, but I must. I have lupus photosensitivity and blinds/shades don't block enough light. I need blackout curtains. Should I hang them with the rods as close to the width of the window as possible, mount a tieback on the outside edge of each window, and when possible to open the blackouts pull each open to the outside, effectively 'framing' the fireplace? I'm trying to make the best of two less than ideal situations. Thanks.

They measure 71 inches high by 95 and 71 inches wide. I would like to open and close them daily from the center by using only two panels. I am also on a very tight budget. What would you suggest i do?

    So, what's the solution with pets? No curtains? Curtains that extend to the floor are going to have the bottom 2 feet covered in hair on a daily basis... if they don't get shredded or pulled down first.
