Our living room has a window that is 5' across and 6' tall. There is 22" from the bottom of the window to the floor, and 1' from the top of the window to the ceiling. I am looking at buying panels and valences for it. The panels I like are 72" long. The ad doesn't specify how wide they are, so I guess standard? The valence is 36Wx26"L. Can anyone tell me how many valences and panels I need to buy?
I stink at this sort of thing. I would like the panels to be to the side of the window, so I guess I need a pretty long rod, and if we need to darken the room I wanted to be able to pull the panels in front of the window. So I was thinking the rod needs to come out at least a couple of feet on each side of the window?
These were the items I was looking at. They are on clearance; hopefully they are still in stock by the time I figure all this out.

Also there are two colors available, mink and cream. I can't decide which I like best. Do you think the mink panels would look okay with the cream valance, or should it be all matching? I like the mink a little bit better but I didn't want it to be too dark.
