Well just from seeing your pictures..mine is not quite as nice as yours. Back when we built, the Ranch style homes were what were being built. I like my home, but as I aged, I found I would change a lot of things, that would just be too expensive to do now. We built our home when I was around 21 or so, so I had plenty of energy back then. I would really love a second level and I would absolutely love a finished basement. Sometimes I check the newspapers for homes for sale, but I know my husband would never want to move. I would like a slightly wooded area with a small creek running through it, but I know in my heart of hearts it will never happen.

Ohhh Interior design!
I LOVE decorating! I'm not a pro, but I've watched years of decorating shows and have a friend who is finishing up her ID classes soon who I discuss this topic with often.
Your windows are lovely! My first thought when I looked at your pics was that I would love to see what it would look like if you swapped the furniture to the inside wall so that the lovely view would be what your seated guests were looking at rather than an inside wall. In the pictures the room appears to be long and narrow, so I'd be very tempted to put some of the furniture at an angle so it would make the room flow more gently rather than coming to an abrupt stop at the end. As Janet suggested, you can even out the placement of the windows by how you hang your curtains. I would stay away from heavy drapes since that would likely not compliment the open upper windows very well. Maybe some sheer or filmy scarfs to just frame the wimdow tops and add a hint of softness would better serve the purpose. This page at HGTV has a good variety of ideas and examples of different window treatments that might help inspire you. http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/pac_ctnt_98...:%20WindowsWow Have fun and remember this is YOUR home... if you like it, it's the right treatment regardless of what's "in style" in the stores.
