What do you think of the way the window treatments have been hung, to create a "left" and "right" design next to the cabinet?

[Meowingkitty]

No.not a fan of drapes, curtains or whatever they are called. Give me blinds, shutters any day.

Yes, me, too. But blinds or shutters do not fit with Early American.

@lolakimonoI think the window, which would be to the far R (not pictured) is the complement to the window to the R of the hutch. The window to the left may (or may not) have both R & L panels.

In any event, I like the 1 panel treatment, but it has to be in the appropriate setting. If I re-did the window treatments in our present LR...or even in the master bedroom. (I'll think about that tomorrow.)

I like the rug ... 

love the cabinet, too.

Don't care about the curtains but I love that room. Love homes that are hundreds of years old. Don't know if that's real or a reproduction but I like it.

I like the fireplace and wood beam ceiling.  Hate any sort of curtains.  Much prefer some type of shades, not blinds or shutters, and IMO they would work in this room.

For this room, those curtains are perfect. 

With a real wood fireplace, I'd rather have something that could be washed easily (and curtains/drapes can be machine washed).

Blinds, shades, would ruin the ambiance of the room.  

Perhaps shutters would work.

But it's a dining area, so privacy isn't as necessary as other rooms.

First of all that fireplace and corner cupboard are gorgeous. Love that rug. I think they were going for the style of the day the way they hung the curtains. They don't bother me none. I had windows by my fireplace at my old house and I pushed them open toward the fireplace.

Beautiful room and I like simple window treatments.  To my untrained eye I would have tied the panel back the opposite way, or at least tried to see how it looked.  Like the fabric used and everything about the room. Thanks for sharing

Curtains like this were often used in a primitive setting.  

I think pulling them towards the beautiful cabinet frames and draws attention to it.

In this case, my 'eye' tells me it was the right thing to do.
