Home Sweet Home : Curtain and Tinted Windows






Spent quite alot for this item as there are a lot of windows in dis end lot house...I have single panel window,2-panel window, 4-panel window, sliding door, window at the corner and outdoor blind at the back of the house...lets recap :

- after calculating the total bill, it was quite expensive, near to RM3000..so i decided to cut a few things...

- no new curtain for bedroom 2 and 3...will recycle the old one (may not fit nicely but as long as can cover the window, its fine with me)...

- sliding door and 4 panel window (in the living room) was supposed to have day and night curtain....i cancelled the day curtains (from lace material), will recycle the old one...proceed with the night curtains (the thick one dat blocks any light from entering the room, so at night people cannot see inside)..

- wanted to change from outdoor bamboo blind to simple venetian blind but couldnt make it...they already ordered the material...hihihi, they know i keep changing my mind to cut cost here and there...the blind itself cost me RM400...huhu..

- did roman blind for single panel window....couldnt decide at first whether to do simple curtain or roman blind...to go for cheaper or not...roman blinds are only expensive in the beginning due to the rods...

- i can actually ask help from both mums as they have the sewing machine and more time to sew the curtains...however, for the first time, its better to have professionals to do it so dat we can have nice measurements for future reference...

- tinted my master bedroom and bedroom 2 so dat we can change our clothes during the day without having to lower down the curtain...no extra money to tinted the whole house....

- all in all, it was an interesting experience...having to calculate what will fit our budget..arguing to get lower prices...the owner of the shop is a chinese but he spoke fluent malay so i was confused at first...he's from alor setar, so no wonder he can speak malay well....he loves to smile but quite stingy =P....his customer service is tip top...would recommend to anyone....
