I am cheap though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-657270 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:44:54 +0000 SugarplumsMom 657270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally wouldn't pay $60 a panel. I normally get ours on super sale or at Ikea. As for blackout curtains, I attach my own blackout lining - they end up looking like hotel curtains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-657249 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:41:26 +0000 maybebaby 657249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: thanks! i got this fabric and just used the curtain clips to clip behind the curtain fabric--super easy! <a href="http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=ccd8730b-fd54-487f-95de-22f4a6976793" rel="nofollow">http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=ccd8730b-fd54-487f-95de-22f4a6976793</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-657240 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:39:24 +0000 lawbee11 657240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: @hergreenapples: Your curtains look awesome!!</p> <p>@maybebaby: Where did you get your black-out curtains? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-657206 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:32:10 +0000 LemonLong 657206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We paid $120 for two panels from pier one for our nursery. We probably could have subbed cheaper curtains, but the ones we got really do look fantastic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-657198 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:30:06 +0000 dookie32 657198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a really nice set of panels for my dining room from JC Penney and they were $70 for the set. $120 for 2 panels is kind of expensive but it totally depends on if you are dead set on a particular print or color. It's worth it if you know it's exactly what you are looking for and can't find what you want anywhere else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-657161 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:21:01 +0000 heartonastring 657161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That seems to be the going rate on Etsy and even higher from places like Land of Nod and PBK.</p> <p>I also can't sew, but have been all about no-sew hem tape lately (like some PPs). I made the curtains for our nursery this way. Fabric (7 yds from fabric.com) cost me about $55 and the rod and rings were about $30.</p> <p>[attach=500/13/mk0nz1.600x448.nursery.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-657123 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:11:26 +0000 maybebaby 657123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Oh, and I used the tutorial that @grizz linked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-657116 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:10:27 +0000 maybebaby 657116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like you I can't even sew a button. I made my own curtains without sewing--using hem tape and curtain clips and made two large panels WITH black out curtains behind for about $60. If the $120 isn't a hardship and it is exactly what you want, I'd go for it. If you are will to put in a little time to save some cash, I enjoyed the project! Don't have a picture of the full curtain on me, but here is a glimpse. </p> [attach=2635/13/mk0nhg.447x600.579042_689879928030_318209115_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-657031 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:47:15 +0000 lemondrop 657031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm cheap, so $40 is steep for me for curtains.

Well on some really nice fabric for my dining room curtains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-656961 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:24:42 +0000 Boheme 656961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Thanks!

I got my panels (as a set) from Penny's for $35 and they're beautiful (green and white gingham). They're good quality, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-656932 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:14:07 +0000 MrsTiz 656932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: <a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/2010/02/nursery-progress-getting-the-hang-of-it/" rel="nofollow">http://www.younghouselove.com/2010/02/nursery-progress-getting-the-hang-of-it/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-656923 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:12:19 +0000 mrsjyw 656923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say if you like them, $30 a panel isn't too bad! :) Get them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-656922 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:12:11 +0000 lawbee11 656922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: That sounds promising...do you have a link to the tutorial?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-656920 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:11:56 +0000 PurplePumps 656920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like to pay more than $10 a panel!!

Young House Love blog has a tutorial for it... You make them with hem tape. I made a pair for our house using their tutorial and I get compliments on them all the time, which makes my husband and I giggle since all I had to do was measure the window and iron the fabric :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-656898 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:05:36 +0000 Mrs. Pen 656898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so cheap! I get ours from target. I think I paid less than $20 for a set for J's room. Personally I wouldn't pay that much for curtains but I'm not sure I'm the norm :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-656887 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:00:20 +0000 blackbird 656887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$120 doesn't sound crazy for a SET of panels! See what they're made out of, too. Sometimes curtains are much thinner and let more light in than i want. </p> <p>I paid $99 for a single panel ruffled blackout curtain from Pottery Barn for the nursery. We just have a single window, though, so we didn't need a set. </p> <p>For another other room, I paid $15 and got them from American Outfitters. They're more sheer, though, but they're very pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-656871 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:55:50 +0000 Bookish 656871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>120$ is reasonable if they are nice! I usually get mine from Target or IKEA, so I usually only pay 30-40$ for 2 panels, but I will say that they are not the best quality. If you love them and think they are worth it, go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-reasonable-price-to-pay-for-curtains#post-656862 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:54:28 +0000 lawbee11 656862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found a set of curtains for our nursery on Etsy that I love, but they are $120 (for the pair of panels). Is this ridiculously expensive or about average? There's only one window in our nursery, so we'd only have to get one pair. This seems cheaper than the PBK options and comparable to the Land of Nod options (and they are custom so we'd get to choose the fabric). </p> <p>Making my own is not an option because I can't even sew a button on a shirt (how embarrassing!). How much did you pay for curtains? Does this price seem reasonable? </p>
