I am in the process of moving into a new apartment, and need new curtains pretty quickly. The apartment is in NY and people can see directly into our den and bedroom....so I need these ASAP! When we signed the lease, I did not realize the height of the ceilings..I under estimated by about 2 or 3 feet. I thought we would be able to pick up something a pottery barn or restoration hardware, but they only sell curtains that are 120" long and we need at least 150 to touch the floor from the top of the window. I have to cover 6 windows that are all this size, so it will be a ton of fabric. I would love to find somebody who sells custom drapes (or drapes this length), but if not its OK because I have somebody lined up who can make them.
I need to find CHEAP fabric-I want nice curtains but this is just an apartment that we are renting for a few years.
Any suggestions for cheap fabric, and lots of it? I am really looking for something that resembles dupioni silk or possibly a velvet.
Our floors are very dark wood, the walls are white, and this is our rug: http://www.madelineweinrib.com/ama/tibetan/Keri-Watermelon.html
Since there is so much fabric, and the rug is already sort of loud, I think the curtains need to be either a solid or a print that kind of blends.
What do you think?
Thanks!!
