I absolutely love all of the windows in our family room. It is so bright and sunny during the day which is the opposite of what our living room was before the renovation. At night, though, I feel like we need a little more privacy and pulling the curtains really does not look good. When I purchased the curtains (JC Penney), I had always intended there to be sheers behind them for a layered look. I even bought double rods with that thought in mind. Unfortunately, the right sheers were not super easy to find. I bought and returned several options. I didn't want anything too formal or too plain. The one impediment to finding something at Target or somewhere similar, is that they needed to be at 94-95" long. This was not a critical item in the decor so I just kept my eyes out for a good option at a great price.
One year after moving into the house (almost to the day), I found a great 95" sheer at Target! It has a woven look which makes it a bit more casual but not plain. And they are on sale for $17.99. Of course, I am still looking for one last panel so I may have to travel to another Target beyond the three that I usually frequent. It's always something, isn't it?
Here's how it looked before.
And here's how it looks now with the new sheers.
Now a huge change but enough to give the room a more finished look. I am still considering some woven bamboo cordless blinds behind the sheers which I think would add another layer of dimension but for now, I am really happy with this look. For now.
