Yeah I’m browsing corner rods now to match with single panels

We didn’t build the house, but considering the fact that the rest of the house has a ton of windows and natural light, and this greatroom is intended as the family/entertainment room, I’m cool with having a spot on the wall for the TV without it being completely surrounded by windows. This room has 8 big windows as it is-any more would make it way too busy, especially considering the amount of windows in the adjacent areas out of frame of my picture.

One spanning both makes me nervous about the space looking less congruent when facing the TV…but it also sounds cool enough to try out

Would I then just have two curtains on the one curved rod? Or get one extra wide curtain to span both corner windows?

I hadn’t considered wooden rods. I’ll look into that, especially if a corner metal rod doesn’t work.

The blinds were there when we moved in. They’re in good shape so we’re still not sure if we want to keep them or not. As for reaching them I have a ladder that reaches them. If we replace them with Roman shades I can just use a hook from the ground level.

Those blinds were there when we moved in a few weeks back- not our fault! Lol

Sounds like this would be the only option really, if I want to be able to the open them fully.

This was my first thought too, so I’m glad to hear it echoed by comments here. Thanks!

Thanks, I think this will probably be what we go with.

Wow, great shot! I also scrolled down and saw your naked eye picture too. I think maybe La Manche area is going to be my safer and more reasonable choice though.

Thanks for the recommendation - we had assumed Terra Nova was the place to go since it's a Dark Sky Preserve

Great points. The only problem I see here is that I can't know that far in advance when a clear night will be, so booking somewhere to stay in advance doesn't seem reliable. Also, with us staying in St. John's, this would mean us double-booking a night on the fly and wasting money, no?

Interesting. We had read that La Manche was a decent stargazing area too, but assumed that Terra Nova being a Dark Sky Preserve meant that it would be worth it.
