Saerom86-You would be much better served by hiring a local interior design firm. Yours is a big job and based on single photo you posted you have a great property that deserves a one on one consult. You may very well find someone qualified to assist on Houzz. Good luck!

Need help with covering windows on French doors that are very close to
Q
Comments (11)
I have to say that well made Roman Shades are not cheap, they are the higher end of the market. Secondly the thing to consider is that they are an all or nothing product, they are either open or closed. What part of the country do you live in? What direction do the windows face, and how often are those doors used? Drapery that can not be moved completely out of the way will get caught in the doors all the time, so while I hate taking out a window for any reason, removing it might make sense as it seems rather redundant. Don't do any type of venetian if this door is used a lot, and if you do, make sure you do an outside mount, allowing for the stack to go above the frame of the doors when they are open. I suggest that you look into Hunter Douglas Polysatin Shutters, they are great on french doors, and the Hunter Douglas Duette Architella Vertiglide is perfect on doors, they also come as a duo light, meaning you can put two blinds into one product - so a sheer and an opaque or semi-opaque product. Just some thoughts to consider.

I want exactly that sofa style, but in gray. My budget won't allow me to buy the leather that I really want. Do you know of a great place to buy this, or can you tell me how linen or bonded leather holds out? The room will be used for everything.

No lah, it's important your hubby has his own relaxation area just like you'd have your lounge area. :) Sometimes we need to have our own spaces. Does your hubby not want the entertainment system to be in the living room? If you're worried about the sight of electronics marring your decor, your ID should be able to come up with clever spaces/tricks to store consoles and hide wires. Here's the arrangement in my home: our tv, soundbar, subwoofer and PS4 are in the living room. Having them in the living room comes in useful for guests if we all want to watch a movie, or if they sometimes want to have a go at the PS4 (I sometimes play too!). In our bedroom, we have a Wi-Fi speaker (that integrates with the sound system in the living room) and a PC with a huge desktop monitor for my hubby's PC games or general computer usage. But all the appliances are not an eyesore at all because they're sleek and my hubby is very neat when it comes to cable management. Anyway, think about your routine and imagine yourselves using the spaces you want to create to get a better idea of how to create them. :)

Steam shower rids the body of toxins, relieves tension, opens sinuses, and eases arthritis pain. Also sheds a few pounds if used on a regular basis.

Hmm, tough to decide, so why decide and choose? I love to relax in the hot tub, then cool off in the pool, then jump back into the hot tub, then finish off in the sauna! My condo has great amenities and all I have to do is head downstairs, which to be honest, I need to do more often!! And I think I would, with new fuzzy cozy slippers! :)

@Sustainable Dwellings and I would clearly get along well! The horseback ride part is required. Failing that, I will also accept a nice bathtub with an outstanding view - I'm partial to lakeside sunsets, so a private view of a lake from the tub with the window cracked to hear the sound of the water outside would be outstanding.

I have back issues and the dry heat from my far-infrared sauna relieves those aches without spiking blood pressure that a hot tub causes. I do like the hot tub when on vacation though. :-)

Couldn't think of anything so boring as to lie in a tub of sweaty water, no no, for me it's a walk through the forest or along a deserted beach, having a chat with myself : ) Exercise AND relaxation simultaneously.

The way for me to relax differs from the time of year we are in however, music and a good book are never far away. And, oh yeah a glass of wine makes it perfect.
Winter fireplace, summer in the shade of a tree. I just realize, we are talking vacation since we don't have a fireplace in our flat. Cooking, trying a new recipe is heaven.
I am not a lady of leisure, simply retired ;-)

A long meditative walk in the evening is the best way for me to relax... Being in motion is far more relaxing to me than sitting stationary... But a nice mineral spa is fab on the bones... It is a great way to help cope with physical pain or discomfort, and it is wonderful for my mind too : )
