I would think of this as a single window that happens to have a 90* angle in the middle -- Its ONE window -- so the window treatment can "wrap" from one to the next. You can use special hardware to put a rod around the corner, just below the soffet -- basically it makes 2 rods into a single rod with a "bend" in the middle, you can pot whatever panels you want onto the rod.

Alternately: you can hand two rods, one over each window -- but leave off the finial on the inside at the corner, so that the rods touch -- its not as finished looking but it might be easier.

Good luck :)

This is cool -- I think I might re-purpose an old white frame for something like this on my wall.

St@cy --
the window isn't boarded over
The window blind is closed behind the doors (so it looks normal from the outside) and the doors are bolted together and lean against the wall -- if this wasn't an appartment I would probably use earthquake straps to firmly secure the doors.

I could really use help finding a good repacement for the shade you don't like -- I just can't find anything as cool as the shade I have on the right!

Hi Everone!
Thanks for your comments!

I'm totally still looking for great lamps and shades -- The one on the Right is an antique handmade shade, and I can't find anything similar in shape/size. Suggestions welcome!!

BGBALL: I added the sheer over the bed because without something there it looked like a bed in front of a wall - sure its a better wall, but thats not what I had in mind.

Several of you mentioned covering the window -- There's two reasons I covered it up:

First -- its hard to tell from the "before" picture -- but the window isn't beside the bed, the bed overlaps it about half way. A shorter headboard created a wierd "L" shaped window - a tall one covered so much of the window it seemed pointless.

Second- there's a really bright street light outside thats completely anoying at night. But the apartment complex doesn't let us install better blinds to block it out. I also really like the massive installation of doors.

Thanks for all the comments!!
