Window Treatments - Curtains


Expert: Lee Stevens - 10/28/2009

Question
We've just recently painted several rooms in our house a taupe brown (medium) my furniture is leather ivory. When I painted a catalog had drapes that I knew I just had to have-however when I went to order them they weren't in the new catalog that had just come out. I've been unable to find them they were a plaid drape. I am looking for the color pallet of Beige/sand, coffee Brown, and a sky/medium blue-I've seen these colors frequently used together. I am having a huge problem trying to find anything close to what I previously saw-suggestions? Is there a particular name for this color pallet?
Thank you
Kathy

Answer
Hi Kathy

You're asking a tough one there. I haven't found any ready made curtains in that colorway. What I have found is some fabric with all the right colors and design. You will have to email the seller and check that it is suitable for making curtains. Then if you don't sew find someone to make them for you.

I have put the link below for the fabric seller. just copy and paste into your web browser.

If you need a curtain maker then there is a link to one on the page below.
