Curtain Hunting

Updates on new home...renovation in progress & due to complete before d CNY insya'Allah. Most weekends are filled with curtain hunting activity...from MACY, IKEA to Nagoya & also Jusco. Measurements for some of d areas; sliding door, master bedroom and Arissa's room are slightly more than d standard measurements - not able to settle for d ready made ones at Jusco altho they do have quite nice collections. 

I've been eye-ing this fuchia coloured ones with cute 'fawer' (as how Arissa pronounces "flower") for Arissa's room but too bad! Basically have to custom made & MACY is quite pricey...ones dat are quite ok goes from a minimal of RM 40 per metre just for d fabric! Itu havent added on cost for 'pattern' of curtain i.e roman blinds, french pleats, etc...cost for sewing & other2 cost. Oh ya, we also had d MACY free measurement curtain service come to our house & he quoted minimum price of RM 2K (5 areas/windows). He also share info that MACY charged for every lil thing (even small curtain clips that cost 40 sen) & usually no discounts given. 

As for IKEA, choices not much to my liking & Mr Hubby said he heard reviews that d curtains are not dat good. Not too sure bout that.

My dear friend Asrin gave high recommendations to do at Nagoya. Went there & they said to get my curtain railings installed first and come back after that to proceed with purchasing of fabric, curtain pattern, etc. Basically, selection memang banyak kat Nagoya & price oso not that bad from as low as RM 10 per metre right up to RM 15 per metre. S

Intend to go back to VillawangsaMas today & measure my windows - final measurement hopefully. I think I'll go with Nagoya...
