A Quality Window Dressing for Peanuts?


Interior Decor: Window Dressing

You've just moved into a new house or apartment, or maybe you've just decorated, but the problem is the same, a great big picture window or even a cute little window, naked as the day it was built just waiting for a beautiful dressing.

So whether you have a bare bedroom, bathroom or kitchen window, what are your options?

Let's go into your lounge and take a look at your huge patio door or picture window.

You could go with vertical blinds, they're certainly practical but where's the style and beauty?

No, what you really want are gorgeous drapes, the sort that make your friends and neighbours drool with envy.
Perhaps you've had a price for these curtains in the past and nearly fainted, they don't come cheap, but why are they so expensive?

To a certain extent it's the cost of the fabric but the bulk of the price is in the labour needed to make them up, and don't forget the shop adds a percentage as well.

What if I told you there is a way you could save 75% of the price, would that make a difference? You bet it would.
But where or how could you make that sort of saving?

The same place I do, at home, by making them yourself.

Before you say 'I'm no good at sewing' or 'I really wouldn't know where to start', it isn't rocket science, it's just knowledge which you haven't acquired yet.

Just think of the benefits:

Your money goes much further, instead of dressing just one window you can afford to dress four for the same cost;

You'll have a huge pride in the finished job, and best of all you can have them now, no waiting around weeks, or even months, for your job to be made and delivered.

Now you're thinking 'ok, I'm sold, but where can I go to learn this new skill?

This is where I come in, I've been making curtains for the best part of 30 years and now I've started to train others, just like you, in the art of curtain making.

Through my website I market a growing range of ebooks that detail, by way of actual photographs and captions, every single step.

But the best part is you're not on your own, if you run into a problem or there's something you don't understand then ask me C try doing that with a hard-back book author!

And if that's not enough then I'll upload a video that'll show the solution to your problem area in even greater detail.
With the power of the internet, my help and your resolve that you can do this there will be no stopping you.

Look through a magazine and decide what you would like and go for it, you won't regret it.

When you're looking at those house interior magazines and admiring the beautiful window dressings do you find yourself thinking 'wouldn't it be great if I could have something like that at my windows'. Then you tell yourself not to be silly, they are way too expensive. But have you ever considered that maybe you could make your own?

Sally Harvey has been making curtains and soft furnishings since 1978. She's worked in commercial workrooms and latterly as an out-worker working from home. A 'Getting Started' ebook is available for download at http://www.curtainsecrets.com
