As I said, I live in an area where many of the homes are very similar. One of those similarities is the trend toward 10' ceilings.
One of my design dilemmas was how to "treat" my windows when I have such a large area to cover (113" from floor to the bottom of the crown molding). At first I thought custom was the only way to go. However, there is a work around. Even though I wanted a floor to ceiling look (which would require 113" panels) I could still achieve that look with 108" panels and here's how:
If I mounted the rod 2" below the bottom of the crown molding, the disparity from the "ceiling" was barely noticeable. Secondly, I used large rings with drapery hooks instead of the rod pocket on the panel. I didn't use the clips that come with the rings and pinned the hooks as close to the top as I could without being able to see them when they were hung. The rings and rods came from Lowe's Home Improvement and were approximately 3" in length.
The overall look is a floor to ceiling panel. Who said math wouldn't come in handy in real life??
