We have rosettes on the top corners of our window molding and I am having a hard time coming up with good ideas for window treatments that will not call for covering them up. I also need something that will block out the light in our bedroom and I am not happy with window blinds. How can I hang drapes without covering our rosettes and still have it look good? |

Why not make a curtain that hangs inside the window frame?

We did the window topper thing over the mini blinds for a while but my hubby wanted the room darker and curtains just don't block out the light enough. I have been looking for a photo of windows that show the rosettes but still have drapes and haven't seen anything. |

Make your husband a sleep mask and tell him you're too tired and have a headache and come back when he's being more reasonable! MariLynntx

What you could do is to mount your curtain rod on the wall well above the rosettes. Use a decorative rod so that there is no need for a valance to cover it up with. When your drapes are drawn open you will see the rosettes. When they are closed you should be asleep and not worrying about it! You could use some type of light sheer or lace inside the window frame if you feel the need to soften the window or to give just a little privacy. What is it with men that they so often seem to want those drapes that shut out the world? |

They're men.....what else is there to say? I had one around for 54 years and seven children. MariLynntx P.S. That's why I took to writing. Never stopped singing, though, much as he tried to discourage it! Life is a song...we give it harmony or dissonance.
