Curtain dilemma

Looking for curtain rods seems like it would be an easy task but not so much. I've checked in the obvious places with very little luck. With our very wide front windows we need a rod that extends to 144". This leaves us very limited options without paying custom prices. BJ found these at lowes. They work for what we need but as a double curtain rod they stick out pretty far which blocks our built in bookshelves. If I go with the single rod the curtains will not fill all the space to close and give us privacy. If we go with the double I can put sheers on the back rod to fill the middle space. The alternative is to find curtain rods that are smaller than 1" in diameter and therefore won't stick out as far but won't look as good. Hmmm.
