    Beautiful home! My first thought was roman shades, too–let that window trim make the statement it was born to make! But I also think short, tabbed curtains (a la the example photo on the right) would look absolutely lovely. Thanks for a great article, Danica!

    I have a bedroom with two very different sizes windows. The bigger window is over an electric baseboard heater so floor length curtains aren’t practical on that one. Should I do sill length curtains on both windows or would it be better to do a shade on the smaller window and sill length on the one over the heater? The previous owner had done floor length on the smaller and sill length on the other and it drove me so crazy I had to take them down!

    I have a ledge all around a bedroom and need shorter curtains too. Question – where can you buy them? I’ve been trying to find nice ones without having to buy full length and shortening them

  4. Very interesting insight about short curtains. I would not have thought there could be a case where they would work.
