Velvett - question

[velvett]

HEY VEL

or anyone?

Solutions for a 5 ft. arched window that is above a front door.

Short of made to order arched shutters. Window treatments for this window is what I'm looking for.

Its been uncovered for a year now ; and I need to do something with this window.

You can get soft goods for this, fabric, honeycomb shades, etc.
Honeycombs look a giant fan - or you looking for sheer coverage or solid light blocking? A little privacy/softeness/diffussed light sort of thing?

Any other windows around?
What kind of front door?

Just a little privacy. Even if it does not cover the whole window.

The door below the window has two sidelight window panels around it.

Is there any way I can use curtains/drapes/something besides blinds on the window? Thanks for you help ; I've been searching the internet and books and the only thing I can come up with is shutter blinds which is ok but the window is sooo big I'd be looking at 500-600 dollars ; which I dont really want to spend on the damn window. wish I never put it there. I wanted it for sunlight to make the entry way bright and cheery. Now its a pain. I will never do sidelight windows or arch windows ever again unless my house is a ranch ; and even then I dont know.

thanks so much for your help ; I'm clueless as what to do.

The fuuk you been?

My job has been pretty hectic lately. I dont get home until 6:45, then go to the gym, get home cook and eat dinner, get my shit ready for the next day, sit down on the couch for like an hour then bam I fall asleep again. Its tough find time for EF.

Plus the quality of threads, posters (you) etc... on this site has seriously plummeted.

How have you been?

Fucking beautiful. I see my life unraveling in front of my eyes. I think I may finish school. Fuck, I don't know.

I have the honeycomb shade on one big picture window. It's the single honeycomb, not the two or three design... It was a bit pricey though. About $350? if I remember correctly.

It does block out all the light perfectly, so it was worth it. I'm guessing it does a good job with insulating as well.

A pet peeve of mine is having glaring sunlight when watching Tv or just in my eyes when I don't want it.

I just read the top post on this page. I may be way OT. lol

See Gonelifting's post above...

Honeycomb (cellular) shades are really the easiest and cost effect solution - any window and blind shop would be able to order them. You can match your trim color or your wall color - depends on your style and what you like.

Tell them you need a starburst/arch shade.
