Your office is sexy!
I have a difficult to dress sliding glass window/door in my living room. Only the left side can accommodate any curtain (since it has corner wall space) while the right side is about 5 inches from my fire place mantle. I can't hang a curtain on the right side because of the enter & exit side of the door and because of the mantle. It has the dividing piece down the middle of the door to separate the two but I'm not sure how to hang curtains. Right now I have the hideous panel window shades. Any ideas?
Just wondering what is the distance from one pleat to the next pleat?
My best certain hack was to take two beaurigul aqua silk Dupioni silk wide panels, cut them in two from top to bottom, and hemmed them from top to bottom with so sew ironon tape. This created four curtains for the two windows in my room. I put shears between them just over the windows and took the panels out over the walls. It is beautiful and creates the illusion of a large window treatment with very little cost.
I used duck cloth with a rod. A metal chain & pendant belt for the trim. Rustic elegance.
the lill curtains from ikea are great too and super inexpensive $5 for 2. you need about $15 worth for a 30'' – 40'' width window. they are 108'' long and you just cut to your length.
Your my kind of gal! Frugal, smart with great ideas! TFS!
I love the French pleat you gave your velvet curtains! Can you recommend a tailor in LA that does good work like yours? We live in Bakersfield, CA and just haven't found someone to help us achieve that look. LA is close and soooo worth the commute to get a customer look! Thank you for continuing to make decorating fun and personal! You are a tremendous inspiration for me! Thank you!
I found the information about 2/3 of one fabric on top and 1/3 of heavier looking fabric on the lower portion very helpful, that is not something I would have thought about – french pleat on the velvet is also something I wouldn't have thought of. Thank you!
Thank-you for the amazing tips. I'm one that can't seem to figure these things out as I am an audio/visual person.
I'm not getting the style quiz results in my inbox. TFS
Loving the Red Velvet
Yes! Hell yes!
You should make a video on how to make an old home look more modern, we have the plaster walls with some crack here and there but i want everything to look more modern and we really dont wanna take off the plaster and drywall it all over again since its a temp home.
Love your videos, and appreciate your style advice, Baiyina. It's helped me focus in on what's best in my space, and what to let go in an informed manner. I've been able to find some excellent bargains on really cute boho style rugs that I am told are 'exactly me', as I need more Fall type colors, along with teal curtains to match. One rug, for example, is the Mohawk Home Soho Samsun Batik rug (no connection, etc!). I'll upgrade in the future, but for now it's on the floor for cheap, right on moving day.
I love #3. I've seen that look before but I live the idea of taking 2 different panels and making the look your own. Great ideas!!
I went with burlap curtains. they look fabulous
Check Jodi out. She does custom curtains from Ikea drapes. Gorgeous! https://www.facebook.com/jodiecurtaincall/
Pole
Itβs called a βrod pocketβ not a pole pocket. A poke is vertical.
I had the problem of #3.. unfortunately my curtains were black leather and expensive so, buying more seemed wasteful.. my sheets were also short. Idky companies sell expensive curtains and shorten them . It sucks
I'm glad I ran across this video. Getting ready to make my own custom curtains. I'll definitely be making the French pleat.
Sewing header tape to curtains is one way to get pleats, which I prefer to a pocket or O rings. I did this with Ikea velvet Sanela curtains after cutting off the rings, and I like the look much better.
Great hacks! Thanks for sharing.
Luv luv luv your channel Baiyina, great ideas π
love the hacks! Everything about this video is so cheerful!
I need to add some fun fringe to my drapes! π I like the French pleat idea. Thanks!
Lightning looks great!
Delicious π
(and no background music ππΌππΌππΌ)
Loved the video! Such great tips, because custom drapes are so pricey, even the $100 one is still cheaper than custom drapery π Please do a live stream on Friday!
Thank you great tips!
Budget friendly, laughable. $100 for tailoring is not budget friendly for most folks.
What a wonderful video, with some budget friendly ideas! Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
Great ideas!
I took style quiz, but never received an email with results.
I use tablecloths in my dining room. $10 each. I used four. The length is 105 so I can fold over and clip them. I will be doing same in my living room except using painters cloth.
