With windows the size of ours?

We'd need a second mortgage - though it is a Victorian red brick villa - I can just visualise it 'Balmoralised' as for Queen Victoria with tartans everywhere.

No - a nice light blue with a floral pattern downstairs and silver grey ditto upstairs, but each curtain is over 2 metres drop and will be HEAVY, just womanhandling the bolts of material for measuring and cutting will be a challenge, and several curtains will be over one width of the fabric.

Ah well, the sooner I make a start the sooner it will be done, and the rooms will look so much better with decent curtains.
