Curtains

The Ring Dring Ranch has a lot of windows. Our bedroom has a 60" window that faces north, two 48" windows that face east and a 48" window that faces south. I haven't bought curtains in a number of years, and had no understanding that most are priced by panel, not by window. So that mean there were at least 8 panels for the bedroom, and since I wanted the north facing larger window to have plenty of coverage, I used 4 panels for that window. Man, did I score a deal. I found 84" long (floor length) curtain panels at Bed Bath and Beyond on sale for $5. Not including the rods, I spent $50 on curtains for the master bedroom.
While I was there, I picked up some pretty curtains for the guest bedroom. That room has a 60" window facing north as well. So the curtains for the guest room cost $20. I wasn't actually looking for curtains for the guest room, but couldn't pass up such a great deal on perfect window treatments. What I was looking for was curtains for two 70" wide windows downstairs. We aren't ready to do anything with the basement really, but the curtains that were down there are visible as folks walk up to the door. They had begun to disintegrate and were stained. So, new curtains were in order and have been hung. They were a deal too! $26 covered the two windows!
Our truck is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. The house still has a lot to be done before I'll be ready to move our furniture in, but it seems like ready or not here it comes!
