Last time I updated you on our master bedroom was when we painted it like 2 years ago. Well, we recently decided that we needed new curtains for our master bedroom; and I promptly fell in love with these ones from Restoration Hardware for $2000.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ya, you read that right. $2000 for 4 panels. You\u2019re probably laughing as hard as my husband did right now.  When I started searching around for something similar but cheaper though I came up empty. That\u2019s when I started playing with the idea of making my own.  A couple of Youtube videos later and I convinced myself that I definitely did NOT<\/strong> want to make curtains from scratch. Damn that is a lot of work and still pricey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s when I decided I would just alter some store bought curtains into custom curtains.  Specifically the Ikea Ingert curtains which are $40 a pair. Ikea curtains are great for altering. Remember when I added stripes to our family room curtains?<\/p>\n\n\n

I obsessively stalked custom curtains on Pinterest and made of list of what I wanted my curtains to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. 2 finger pinch pleat<\/li>
  2. Black out lining<\/li>
  3. Hang heavy and straight<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
