I definitely think the panel on the top is better than on the bottom. <br /><br />This may sound like a dumb question, but, how do you cover your windows with them if you want to block out more light than the blinds do? I ask only because it appears the rods are too short to close them..??ter@waaomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16281816721565523092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-75991419212705580982010-03-02T13:38:35.032-05:002010-03-02T13:38:35.032-05:00OOOOOH they're beautiful.... and youre right. ...OOOOOH they're beautiful.... and youre right.

You TOTALLY solved a drape dilemma in my bedroom. I just made new drapes, and after putting up the rods & hanging them (from clips), discovered that they were about 2 inches too long - thanks to my moron measuring! They don't puddle well, and I also have a cat who loves drapes (!@#%&), so I've been trying to figure out how to fix it without taking the drapes apart or rehanging the rods.
