well when you move on to those windows in the living room....here is an idea if you don't want to actually make the roman shade if you very plain inexpensive ones where you live you can add the material you want to them as shown here

I made a quilt to hang over a very drafty window in my shorehouse bedroom. I used the thin batting and a rod pocket and hung the quilt straigt but used a much longer rod than the window so I would have room to slide it to one side. It really lookes great. No pleats or anthing just straight like a wall hanging. It really keeps the cold out and the heat in. I would send you a picture but that house is 3 hours away from my regular house. Good luck. :)

I bought some stuff long ago @ JoAnns (I think) that is silver, thin and has insulating properties.Yu could use that as your batting. I am sure they still carry it or something like it. I was going to make a window quilt, like a lovely scenic thing. I had planned on attaching to window frame with velcro so I could put up @ night and take down at will. Don't know how much use your door gets for the velcro but it certainly could be made as a curtain... hope this helps! BTW - I never did make the dern thing...... :)

Do you know the brand name of the stuff you describe - I'm in France and we don't have Joann's here :cry:
Thanks!

I made a quilt and turned it into a shower curtain with tabs at the top, I used light weight batting and it isn't too heavy at all. I think that it would help to keep the draft out if you used batting. Your door opening area looked like you could use something, a spring rod maybe to hang it from instead of nailing anything to the wall and you can remove the whole thing during the warmer months.
