Add Custom Style to Ready Made Curtains

Orginially posted at www.carladavisdesigns on 8/27/09

So you want something on those windows, but you really cannot stand the idea of waiting the 2 months that most custom drapery outlets require to fabricate your draperies. Well, pull out your needle and thread because you can run down to your nearest Restoration Hardware Store and do it yourself this weekend! You will need:

Restoration Hardware Belgian sheer linen drapery panels are shown below with custom drapery hardware from Gould and The Finial Company...

but you could easily purchase Restoration Hardware solid wood white drapery hardware while you are at RH selection your draperies. Please note my use of wood and metal together on this project. When it comes to decorating, "all or nothing" seldom applies. I have flipped over the rod pocket header that most ready-mades have to create a straight from the workroom look. You will need five rings to sew about 10 inches apart. Total $$ you will drop at RH this weekend for two linen panels, one rod, rings, brackets, and one pair of finials: Around $400.

On a tighter budget? Try Walmart...yes Walmart!



Total $ you will drop at Walmart this weekend for two Canopy faux silk panels and Tivoli metal drapery rod/rings: Around $130
