    Sounds nice Margie. Do you want just a different colour of curtain or something other than a curtain altogether?

    You could install some shutters over the window. I would go with some that are at least half the height of the window and have some sort of curtain on the upper half of the window. Or you could have shutters on both the bottom half and upper half of the window, the bottom half for privacy and the upper shutters could be opened for light and seeing the view. Or the lower shutters could be a little taller than half the window height with shorter shutters on the top half.

    I love shutters on windows ;)

    WINDOWs

    I love the shutter idea ,I am going to see about that soon, Because I would still be able to see my big window.And I can see all the birds I take pictures of, Thats kind of a hobby,I really enjoy, its fun plus it helps pass the winter by quicker,I could still put my vallance up there and it would look ok, What do you all think?
    THANK YOU MARGIE

    I'm sure it will be on again they tend to run the shows over again, however it was Christmas windows in the big stores like Macys, not home owners..
