I want to put some curtains in our bedroom. Not so much for privacy or light, but I just think they'd look nice. I was looking at the latest issue of Southern Living and I got curtain envy. What can I say?
Here's my problem...there is a window and a set of french doors with a transom. I want to put curtains on both. I want them to be a little above the actual window/door frame by a few inches. If I do that, I need curtains approximately 98 inches long. In my brief curtain shopping experience, They only come in 63, 84 and 95 inches. Do I go with the 95 inch and let them be short a few inches? Do I go with the 95 inch and add on some fabric myself? You know me...I am not paying for custom made curtains.
So, what do you think?

When I look at that I think "valance" rather than full curtains. But if you are set on curtains, I'd say you'd want to add something to the bottom. Just to make it all flow nicely. But if it were me, my first instinct would be to just put a valance up over the top of each of the areas.
Hey, Shannon, OK girl, you don't want curtains that are too short. I would definitely find some that are long enough, even if you have to add something to them. I think 96" is a standard length and I've even seen them 106", so that would be your best bet to find that size. I know they are out there, so keep searching. I would definitely raise them above that transom window too to make your windows look higher & wider.
Thanks for stopping by & chiming in!
