Well, the curtains made it up quickly, but not without some undue stress. You can benefit from our mistakes! Here\u2019s what we learned.<\/p>\n What you\u2019ll need –<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before you go shopping, think about what you need. Are the curtains needed for privacy or are they simply for decoration? Do they need to open and close, or will they stay put?<\/p>\n In Alyssa\u2019s case she needed privacy, but she also wanted light to come in the front windows. For the French doors connecting to the living room she wanted total privacy. And, of course, everything had to be fashionable \u2013 and within a budget.<\/p>\n<\/a>I recently helped my daughter Alyssa move into her first place \u2013 a shared apartment, with her bedroom in the front. Three long windows facing the street meant that we needed to get curtains up right away. The French doors leading to the shared living room also needed covering right away.<\/p>\n
