I made one using a large table cloth and iron on velcro and hem tape with some wide grosgrain ribbon to make it look raised. It was easy and inexpensive!

I would also hang curtains above the fan window because paper shades are not really ever an option in my most humble opinion. Or you could bust out some gyp board and block in the fan window ;-) Commercial buildings do it all the time!!! You don't even realize it because they do such a great job of faking you out!!!emilyhttp://emilyco-raleigh.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-52494583036582489512015-04-23T07:48:38.106-07:002015-04-23T07:48:38.106-07:00I'd put the curtains at the same height, and a...I'd put the curtains at the same height, and add the paper shade to the arch window. I would be very cautious of adding a contrasting fabric to curtains hung at unequal heights.

We have the same issue in one of our kids' bedrooms, and when we replaced the window we lost the cross piece directly underneath the half-moon, so a pleated shade wasn't possible anymore (no place to attach it). We went with option two (bar over the top). I do like the fact that the window is entirely uncovered when we want it to be, but we do have some trouble with the rings catching on the edge of where the rods join, and because it's so high, you do have to reach up quite a ways to properly yank it over that edge.Marianhttp://greengreyandgezellig.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-5808130934287072872015-04-23T04:41:22.614-07:002015-04-23T04:41:22.614-07:00Fan windows are obviously a guy/builder thing.
