I bought some sets of curtains from the Ikea as-is department and found out when I went to hang them that one of four panels is about two feet shorter! I will work with it.

I'm gong to take one of the long panels and divide it into two and hang one on either side of these two in the photo. It should fill out the windows just enough. I might take the short panel and make it into a roman shade.

Got to get to sewing now. Cheers!

    Sylvie, that’s hilarious! At least you can sew. Someone like me would just be out of luck!

    They are pretty… and I am glad that you can make them work. Good to know about the as is section though. Buyer beware as they say!
