Windows and Warmth

I don't like Window Treatments. They are cumbersome, overpriced, block out the sunlight, and collect dust.

We live in the country, we dont need to close ourselves in for privacy. However, we have a problem with winter drafts.  So, I am on the dreadful hunt for Window Treatments!

I am looking for Floor length Panels that will coordinate the colors in the 2 rooms which are open to eachother, as well as provide necessary warmth when closed (the whole reason I am doing this!).   My Rasberry Truffle Dining room has one Double window and my Sandlot Gray living room has One set of French doors.

Where do I begin!?!
Although I work in the industry, and have access to thousands of beautiful products....lets face it, I'm on a budget! So I went to the internet.....here are some my favorites:

The Marrakech Curtains in slate, $148 per panel from Anthropologie.

 The Savannah Curtain Panel in Ivory: $29.99 per panel from Cost Plus World Market
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Yoruba Curtain: $178 per panel from Anthropologie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ikat Ogee Linen Panels: $69 per panel from West Elm
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I finally decided to go with the least expensive option from Cost Plus World Market. The mix of colors in the pattern combines my 2 wall colors with all the accent colors perfectly. Now all I have to do is wait for them to come off of backorder!
