For some reason, I can't resize this picture that I have...maybe because I am at work Chat Icon
I will try again when I get home...I also need help picking out furniture! Basically, the only thing I have is paint color: Benjamin Moore Silver Sage.
Thank you!!!

Re: Window Treatments (With Picture)

Since you say you do not have design skills I think you should try making an idea board.

Clip out pictures of furniture you like and most importatnly, style and colors and arrange them on a bulletin board (or paper, whatever works). That way it will help stear you in a direction. It is such a beautiful room but starting from scratch can be very difficult.External Image

depending what your style is (modern, contemporary, classic) for me I would do balloon valances on each window of light lace or just see through material and then do a few panels if you need more privacy at night of flowing drapery.

I think you need furniture first before you decide on window treatments

as other posters suggested, maybe put together some sort of mood board with colors/fabrics/textures you like.

I think of curtains as accessories to the rest of the room, so i wouldn't get anything until you have furniture picked out
