I just moved into an old cottage with oddly-shaped rooms and miles of windows of various sizes. Love the windows, but my $$$\u00a0total for curtains and rods purchased so far\u00a0– for only two of these rooms – is\u00a0scary.\u00a0Winter’s here and soon family will visit and I’ve got bare windows.\u00a0\u00a0I don’t sew. Any ideas for cheap solutions?\u00a0\u00a0I’ve just posted this\u00a0in the “wanted” section of Craigslist in my area: <\/span><\/p>\n

Curtains? Does anybody have any neutral ones for sale?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Tiers? Tab tops? Panels? Cafes? Just moved into an old cottage with walls of windows – all different sizes.\u00a0The good part is windows are lovely.\u00a0The iffy part is buying curtains to cover all. So I decided to just cover the whole dang wall of windows in something inexpensive-to- free. Anybody have any neutral colored tiers or cafes or even panels?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

First is the\u00a0kitchen with a wall of windows that measures 85″ wide x 34″ long. I’m flexible about fabric – just not too sheer. As for color -something that\u00a0 <\/span>doesn’t scream. White? Beige? Brown? Tan? Ivory? Cream? Neutral of any kind. I have tons of curtains in storage myself, but none fit this configuration. Ain’t it always the way? Thanks for your creative thinking.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
