I have seen lovely big windows similiar to yours adorned with cedar shutters that can be adjusted with a bar and serve as protection and assist with temperature control as well. Also, fold down Roman blinds are another alternative and like your self I have hung over my sewing room window one large piece of fabric hemmed, and I use it to pin my blocks to as a design wall..at least for now! I hope you find a suitable solution as the glare is annoyingly difficult when you want to work.

My craft room is on the north side but also has three windows.

I'm thinking "honeycomb" blinds, but then you wouldn't be able to see outside. What about those really thin & "practically see-through" curtains? I don't know what they're made from... really light & thin material, like organza or chiffon, almost? I'm thinking you still wouldn't be able to see out through them, though. <br /><br />Ok, now I'm not recommending the style, but this is what I'm thinking: <br /><br />http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=1696bca&DeptID=70751&CatID=70821&SO=0&SelDim=5%7e&x5view=1&NOffset=2&Ne=5+961+971+1031+586+902+1008+8+18+949&N=4294953318+4294967159&Nao=0&PSO=0&bcCat=3&CmCatId=EXTERNAL%7c70821&CmCatId=external%7C70821<br /><br />Good luck!!

I like your design space and comfy sofa. Our prior home had wonderful wood walls like yours, and we didn't want to put holes in the woodwork. So, we used tension rods with light weight curtains that were within the window. The rods could easily be repositioned, or removed, as the sun moved through a day and the seasons. In our current home, the sunlight produces glare at different times. We have four sets of sheer panels that we can position when need to reduce the glare, and a linen swag that can hang loose, or tight, to control how much light comes through the top of the window. That said, I like the quilt that you are using. Please enter me into the drawing.Marcia W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11895729581181426478noreply@blogger.com
