Where did you get those curtains?

I've been asked numerous times where did I get my living room drapes?

Our living room window faces the street and it brings in lots of light but there was no privacy at night. Drapes can be really pricey, especially for a window this big. I did a little researching and found an easy and economical way to save a ton of money on curtains...

The solution: buying flat bed sheets and using ring clips to hang them!

If you don't know how to sew well or at all (which I do not), I think this is a great option. I did a little research and sheet sizes are generally:

• Twin: 66 x 96 inches
• Full: 81 x 96 inches
• Queen: 90 x 102 inches
• King: 108 x 102 inches

For my living room window I used two king-sized flat sheets. I looked and looked online for the right sheets. I knew I wanted a pattern, but was having a hard time finding anything I liked. Then I came across this Moroccan inspired print and I was in love. I had to buy two sheet sets to get the flat sheets, which came to a total of $85. This is not always the most economical route, but for what I paid it was still waaay cheaper then buying drapes this large in size.
