This is pretty much it except the windows are in in a curve but straight across, there is no trim and there is only a few inches between the windows. Oh, and there is no space between the top of the window and the ceiling. My windows have no panes either (wish they did).
The fist one is lovely but I can not find anything that is narrow in width like that. The second hits the floor and that's what I"m trying to avoid but in the end... I may not be able to. Both are beautful loks.

@Mom2Dogs I don't but my MIL is an excellent seamstress. I hate to bother her with a project like this. Of course, I would supply all the material and pay her for her time because she and FIL are very busy retirees! : )

I would treat the windows as one. It would look less busy, IMO.

I would treat the windows as one also. It's not hard to make something yourself. I like sewing myself cause there are a lot of choices in fabric. Years ago we bought a house with very wide windows. I needed a 100in pair of drapes for the window which was wide but short for the bedroom. I got a pair of 84" drapes and cut them and made a valance with pinch pleats in it to match the drapes. Cost very little to have a nice set.
My formal living room has three high windows. I have 75" wide drapes on each window and the drapes are 95" long. I have swags and cascades on each of them. I didn't run them together for the valance because they are further apart. I have sheers on each window also for privacy. When the drapes are open or closed you cannot see any bare wall.

I like this look, Country Curtains has some faux roman shades that you could work with and it would give a more transitional look to the space. They (the faux romans) could easily be manipulated with either a clip or safety pin to create different hem styles.
I like this look too, and I do something similar with a heavy crocheted cotton white valance, no shears. The heavy cotton shapes the window and takes away from the "tall" which is what I want.
I use the valances in my kitchen and utility room, which are next to each other, and my bathrooms with mini blinds.
I have a couple styles which I change out seasonally.

I would want to keep the integrity of the three Victorian windows by dressing them separately. Like this:

In our Pa home we had good quality mini blinds but I did n't like the look of them alone. I wanted something softer so I hung lace panels, along with the blinds on every window except the kitchen and BR. I liked the nice soft look of the lace but they let a lot of light in & we could see outside thru them.

Thank you, everyone, for all your suggestions! I'm going to photograph as well as draw out some ideas and see if I can figure something out by watching YouTube sewing videos. I'm also heading to Country Curtains to see if their window experts can help me.
Thank you again!

Will something like this work?

According to the magazines curtains in rich beautiful fabrics are coming back big time. I guess people have gotten tired of having no privacy in their home with these big open wondows.Some of my neighbors have absolutely nothing on their windows at all. When you drive or walk thru the plan after dark you can see right in, they may as well not have walls.I guess that is okmif it doesn't bother you , but I like my privacy, esp. living very close together as we do.
