Yang Guo 7 Report post Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) just an update on my purchase, no pictures to show yet bought custom made curtains for my mbr and living room already- living room window is "semi-circle" type. need to custom made so that the curtain flow nicely.- mbr window is full L-shape. there is no break in between. so cant do 2 rod curtain too. must custom made so that the flow can go smoothly. if use 2 rod, i cant cover the window 100%. there will be a gap at the right angle area of the window.total damage for custom made curtain for my mbr(night curtain) and living room(day+night)=$804bought at one of the curtain shop at clementiwow, money spent so fast..

The price is consider reasonable, depending on your window length and the curtain material. I did a full length "Day-and-Night" curtain for both living room and MBR, and two roller blinds for the other two bedroom. It cost 1.2K. In addition i also did a string curtain for $100 at my MBR.
