    raising the rod would just make it awkward for the round topped window. but please, no high water pants. sometimes you just have to hem. you can use iron on tape for these easily if you dont have access to a machine.

    secondly, if they will be opened and closed frequently, put them on rings, not shirred on rod. they'll be so easy to move then.

    thirdly, once you get them the correct length, you need to give them a steam.

    pretty much the only thing that is ready to use, right out of a package, is potato chips.

      I think they're cute and complement the bedding. Just raise the curtain rod so the curtains just touch the floor.

      I think they look sloppy and don't add anything to the room

      Oh I didn't see the half circle window. Yes these need to be hemmed, don't raise the rod.

      Also, the rod brackets are too close to the window frame; they should sit wider. I would move the brackets several inches out... the finial should be closer to the adjacent wall. Good luck!

      I like the curtains, I think it would be best if you just got them hemmed.

      Pooling curtains is a design decision that most designers like. I would not hem them if I decided to keep them. Also, the wide horizontal stripes on the curtains along with the small horizontal blinds make it feel uncomfortable to my eye. I would go with a solid color if it were my room.

      The rod is way too thin for the expanse and looks like it will bend if you blow on it. Rod diameter should be 1 inch in diameter. As mentioned above, press the curtains this will stretch them a bit make the hang straight for measuring, add rings, hang curtains then measure by putting a long yardstick flat on the floor, 36 inches long and measure from the bottom of the ring to the top of the yard stick. Mark the curtains with pins, iron, rehang, adjust, them press hem and sew or tape. It is a process but you need to know if your floor or wall or rods are level or not in order to hem evenly.


      These are so pretty and sweet you might want to get 64 inch curtains for your daughter's room so they do not get messed on the floor.

      For a kid's room, I'd definitely hem them a few inches so they're off the floor. Otherwise they look like a good choice.

      I think the curtains are cute with the bedding. I would normally like them hung from rings but these are very sheer and I think the rings would be too heavy. Since you have blinds for privacy, I would just leave the curtains open as an accent to the windows. Most dry cleaners do alterations and you can probably have them hemmed very inexpensively. Pin them up so they come just above the floor by a 1/2" or so. Once you have them hemmed, they'll hang very nicely. You can always throw them in the dryer on a steam setting or with a damp towel to steam out any wrinkles before you rehang them. When you do rehang them, pull the rods out further so the finials just touch the wall. This will open them up some and not make the windows feel so small. Hope this helps!

      I think I agree with Best Buy Blinds that the pattern of the curtains jars with the pattern of the blinds behind. And in a kid's room, pooling curtains doesn't make much sense.

      I agree, I think maybe a fabric with a little heavier substance. Try using something in a soft linen material instead of a sheer. Or you can always add a solid fabric panel to either end, and leave the sheers in the middle. That will create a more grounded look. Best of luck!

      You don't need four panels given your blinds, so I would simplify that wall - it's a bit overwhelming. Go with a heavier fabric and little girls love pompoms, which come in a string and can be sewn or glued on. You could also keep the curtains (and still add the pompoms), but double them up on each end, so they become less sheer and look fuller. Be sure to extend the rod so the drapes hang more on the wall vs the window.

      I have two questions and maybe it is just my monitor......what color are the blinds...they look green or dark to me....not going with the curtains at all....I would use white. Also your curtains slip on the rod.....I like the curtains, but all of my curtains...sheers and heavyier have a header so that the rod slips into the second space of stitching, leaving a little header (like a ruffle). Maybe I haven't shopped for curtains enough but I think something like that would make your curtains very cute for a girls room. I would hem them up also.
