I found all my great stuff at Big Lots, of all places. Rods and hardware, too! And I get compliments all the time! Don’t forget TJMaxx and Homegopds, either.

Go cheap on the curtains and spend a little more on the hardware. I actually found some lovely curtains from IKEA for my bedroom that I adore and they were dirt cheap. I didn’t even spend all that much on hardware from JC Penney. The way I think of it is this – I won’t be spending that much more time in my current house, and curtains stay with the house – so why spend a lot of $$? If you are in your dream home, then I would maybe spend a little more.

go cheap on the curtains and shell out the dough for quality hardware, rods and pullbacks.
Good luck!
Best,
Tina

I had a hard time finding curtains that were inexpensive AND met all my requirements (bright blue and room darkening) I needed for my sons room. I ended up finding some really nice, and inexpensive, ones at Walmart (after searching for over a year…and making a lot of returns). I just can’t fathom spending that much on curtains, when places like Target and Walmart have some good quality ones for a pretty good price.

They’re as thick as blankets and block a lot of light. I dont think any window panel is worth $8 unless the pattern is to die for.
