Believe me, I've tried every combo possible with the furniture that we have. I don't mind it too much now -- in the future I'd love a slightly smaller sofa maybe? Who knows. :)Thrifty Decor Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387609050626968143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-28888741395312198232013-06-14T10:25:55.696-04:002013-06-14T10:25:55.696-04:00It's still in that room, but it may move again...It's still in that room, but it may move again soon. ;)Thrifty Decor Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387609050626968143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-46273374138110685192013-06-14T10:25:34.952-04:002013-06-14T10:25:34.952-04:00Thanks Kathy!

Does that even make sense? Even though there are panels between the windows, people percieve them as one long window. It's the best solution I have found so far, and feels pretty natural and pleasant. <br />P.S. Maybe it is because of how my screen makes colors appear, but I have always really liked when your walls were what you call pink, and you had that dresser and wall grouping above it. Whatever you do is great, though.

I have four rooms in my house that each have just one wall and two identical windows similar to yours. I haven't solved all of the rooms, but in two of the rooms, I ended up putting nothing on the wall space between windows- it became almost like breathing space! And I only put my woven roman blinds on the tops of the windows with curtain/drapes on the outside- so the left window just has a panel on the left, the right one has a single panel on the right. Almost like drapery-wise I am treating them as one big window. My husband likes it because having half as much drapery is cheaper and looks more modern (to him- he has a fear of grandma drapery) and I like it because it frees me to just let that wall be blank and be okay with it. I will probably change it up at some point, but in a couple of our rooms, this seems to be working.

My biggest problem windows (they all seem to be problem windows in this house) are in our breakfast/keeping room. Three windows butted up together, then a space about a foot wide, then another window, fireplace, another window. All on one wall.

And it's the one closest to being decorated the way I want. I have that same setup window-wise in that room and it drives me batty as well. That room probably gets changed more than any other room in the house. And by probably I mean constantly. <br /><br />It has one 'normal wall, one wall with the two windows and not pillars, but little tiny bits of wall which aren't even six inches. What the heck, builders... whyyyyy? Then the wall opposite the windows has is weird because the right side is set back two or three feet and the left side has a HUGE return air vent which blocks any real furniture placement on the 2nd biggest spot in the room where one could/should put a piece of furniture. Why on earth they didn't put that huge return air vent in the hall, which they could have easily done, is beyond my grasp. <br /><br />I kind of liked your pink walls, but I really love the gray.Tammigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04000047709047394034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-51154453483179295352013-05-14T06:18:20.547-04:002013-05-14T06:18:20.547-04:00The mirror is perfect for this spot!The mirror is perfect for this spot!Anne Boykinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06915107557454989141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-65066583988341071682013-05-14T05:56:53.576-04:002013-05-14T05:56:53.576-04:00I have a room like that too!!
