Coming by curtains that are both attractive and affordable can be a pain. I find that curtains that I like tend to be overly priced. Conversely, curtains that I'm not so thrilled about are right smack-dab in my price range. Annoying, to say the least.
So, I decided to take a new approach. I was wondering around Jo-Anne Fabrics one afternoon looking for something no at all related to curtains when I passed some fabric that I thought "wow, that'd look good as some...", then it came to me... why not just use some loose fabric for window treatments? I already had venetian blinds that were looking very sparse and not-so appealing. However, they do the trick regarding privacy and all that... but looks wise? Not so hot.
I didn't have the time to put too much time into the whole thing, so I bought some fabric that I was crazy about as-is. I bought some clip-on hangers at Home Depot along with easily installable curtain rods. I measured out and cut the fabric into four even sections for two windows. I clipped and hung the sections and then, to hide the fact that they are pieces of unfinished fabric, I tied the bottoms up into large neat knots... and walla! Curtains!
A little sneaky, I agree, but saved me a bundle and I got the look I wanted. So, all's well that ends well!
