Well the shock has worn off and I come asking the group what to do with covering my window. I have a window that's about 150" in my living room. All the other windows have custom ordered shades that I installed that were quite reasonably priced. I figured I'd splurge on the living room window and do it up nice. Told DW to call JC Penny and have them send someone out. Since then, the lowest quote has been about $2600 and when asked to price out a picture we saw at Home Depot, the price rose to about $5000.
Of course there's no way we're spending that much on one window. The lady has made sure we know that they use very nice fabric and the panels are solid pieces of fabric, not stitched together panels. The rods aren't even decorative, but they're the type that have a draw cord to pull the drapes open from the center out.
Short of sewing our own drapes, which frankly, we're not capable of doing, what are some ways to get nice drapes for a reasonable some of money. We're looking for sheers and curtains but about the highest I want to go is $2000 and even that is a killer. JC Penny said I could get the sheers (very nice ones mind you) with that type of budget. Please help.
