I belong to the stapler/glue gun school of sewing, so buying pre-hemmed, perfect-in-length curtains/tableclothes is genius!

I “made” my own curtains for my bedroom, office (small second bedroom), and living room–out of tablecloths. They’re just the right width and length for my windows and to drape all the way to the floor (7 foot cloths, 8 foot ceilings with the decorative curtain rods 1 foot from the ceiling, obviously) and they were each only $5 at Target. I got the clip-style loops to attach them to the rods, so no measuring, no sewing involved! Then, I bought table runners to use as decorative scarves over the rods at the top! Six windows for about $60!

Eek! It’s so revealing, but true! But speaking literally, I do so love windows and window coverings. (Not that mine are anything special, but still.) They can totally make the home, and you’re right about a home with small windows. Blech. And I like to have a solid picture in mind when writing a character’s house/apartment/living space. Makes it all too real.

I’ve always been a reader/dreamer, worlds away when involved in a book. I hope I never lose that.

I sort of “collect” house plan magazines just for this purpose.
