[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I'm going to make the hidden tab curtains, with a blackout lining or a regular lining depending on the window location. Hidden tabs seem easier and cheaper than dealing with grommets, tabs, or circular hooks.

I'm pretty sure I understand how to do everything. I found the View Along the Way post most helpful in laying the process out. I may do translucent blinds on our main level too. Thanks for all of the links and thoughts!

But here's my latest conundrum-- we have two windows facing the street in our living room, separated by about 5 feet of wall space. I'm thinking about doing one big curtain rod that runs between them, and having one panel on the outside of the windows. There are radiators at the floor level in front of each of the windows, so the panels would either have to be above the radiators, or floor length and primarily for looks to soften the room. Would this look odd to do? Would it be better to do blinds only or two separate rods? [/quote]

Sounds awesome, OP.  Just don't forget that for some of the curtains (especially the translucent ones), it might be easier to buy premade Ikea ones.  You don't have to do ALL of them to still be able to pick out some nice fabric for special rooms or to accent a particular wall.  We have a combo of homemade and sheer Ikea ones that we like in our living room.[/quote]
