I was thrilled to finally find this shop on Etsy!  She does curtains of all lengths and widths and the price was super reasonable because most of the custom ones I was looking at were in the thousands!!

This is what they look like closed -- they filter light but definitely are not blackout.

I paid extra for the Ikea tape to be added at the top and am so glad I did! In all the years of Home and DIY how did I not know about this trick before?? You can make your own "pleats" with the hooks! You just slide one side of the hook through a loop and then I counted about five over and then slid the other side up and it made a pleat!!  Genius Ikea. I just ordered the curtain rings with little loop on Amazon and they slide so nicely!!

How cool is that?? She also does single, double, triple pleats, or grommets if you are looking for that. 

I just wanted to share a great find along if you are looking for big long curtains or drapes!

I sharing good finds that save some $$. Have a fabulous day!

I didn't realize it didn't come with lightbulbs though so that was an added cost. We went with these shatterproof LED's 

We've also learned a few things about getting rid of things. Most go to the DI (our local donation center), some we've sold on Facebook Marketplace and that is a slick way to get some extra cash and clean out at the same time. It's super nice because with Covid people just pay on Venmo and then we leave it on the porch or by the side of the house to pick up. I probably will not give things for free on marketplace again though! We had some leather sofas and a chair that had a broken recliner but were still really comfortable so we thought it would be better to have someone pick them up and be able to use them rather than to take them to the dump. I got many messages saying people were coming but they never did and then it started snowing so we had to cover them up on the side of the house. Then, some people came and just took one chair and then left a broken desk and a walker in our driveway! We were trying to get rid of junk and just got more junk in our driveway! Crazy.  They finally were picked up and the man was thrilled with them but I would probably ask even $10 to get people who were serious about wanting them. 

Can you belive it its Valentine's Day this weekend? If you need a quick solution you can pick up a box of Takis or Flaming Cheetos at Sam's Club and use these printables.   Or, grab some fun mechanical pencils and use these get to the point printables. Good luck! Thanks for stopping by.
