Decorating divas: where can I find some nice drapes

that won't cost me an arm and a leg?

Either Ikea, or I usually make my own.  I'm sooo not a good sewer, but even I can handle drapes....they're very easy!

I made my own, too.  I'm actually thinking of making some for a friend as a housewarming gift, so she has something to cover her windows until she buys her "real" drapes.  Hmm, I might have to run to the fabric store tonight.

We just got the Sears weekly ad and they have The Country Living Lace Window collection on sale here in HI and the Whole Home window collection on sale. 

Here is a link where you can look at the ad for your zipcode:

You might be able to see them on the bottom left of this page.

Need to click on the ad, then turn to page 18-19.  Pics are on bottom left.

I have been debating this myself for 2 months since we moved in.  I think I am just going to make my own (have before - it's true, they are quite easy).  But I did find a good etsy seller - avecdieu who has some wonderful fabrics (and donates a % of her proceeds to charity)!

I sometimes buy bed sheets to use as curtains

I got ours at Bed Bath n Beyond.  They always have some that are on sale as well.  They are fabulous quality.  A little pricier than I would have liked but I did use one of their 20% off coupons.  That helped a bit. 

Something to point out is I have bought cheapo ones before and really regretted it!  

And if I knew how to sew and was crafty like that....ooh I'd be all over that.  That sounds like so much fun!

Ditto DIY.  That said, I am lazy even though I can sew and own a machine...recently I've gotten my curtains from JCPenny, Overstock and Target.  None were more than $100 per window and most were $50 per window.
