New drapes


The NY apartment finally got some drapes! That was a struggle i must say. I definitely was planning on making curtains myself, was looking for pretty and suitable fabrics for awhile now. Just couldn't find what i wanted. Or when i did they were way too expensive for our budget. Started looking around for ready made drapes. Oh, how i disliked everything i saw! How come American drapes are so ugly? And i don't want those frilly things on top! And those fabric choices! How could you? Do people actually want those in front of their windows? Drapes have such impact on a room, i don't understand. Hope i'm not insulting any one of you. If you happen to have American pre-made drapes with those frilly things on the top, i'm sure they fit in your interior perfect and yours are much prettier than all those i saw in stores. ;)
Anyway, i ended up getting these brown sheer drapes with flocked print on them. Not the most original of prints, but for now i'm happy with them. They were affordable and my hubby approved. I got them for the living room and Love mentioned we should get the same for the bedroom too. So i did. Had to adjust the length a bit, so i did get to do a bit of sewing on our drapes in the end!
