[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm adding some DC designers to the mix.

I'm always admiring the window treatments that Kelly Proxmire does in her work...

Check out this room by Darryl Carter:

I would be very mad if I paid a designer a ton of money to do this room. It is so incredibly boring and has no life in it at all. [/quote]

That is the lewk though you’re supposed to add interest with whimsical antique-y “art” can you tell Darryl Carter has never done it for me but still to each his own. [/quote]

I actually like these window treatments a lot but I wouldn’t pay $500 per window for them![/quote]

Oh I think that window is more like $3500. Easily. [/quote]

For sure and a prime example how, if you have money you probably are living in a home with 20+ windows,  high ceilings,  therefore large windows. Wouldn't even be particularly high end to spend 2k/window on 30 windows. Also a nice home isn't going to have small standard windows which is what IKEA is good for. [/quote]

What kind of a moron pays 2k/window for beige curtains and shades?  That whole room screams pottery barn + extra monotony.

2k per curtain makes sense if the trend was for elaborate window treatments, but simple stuff like this?  Not worth it!  That’s like paying 500 for plastic shoes that look like rights.  Just buy the rights![/quote]

2k will not get you elaborate curtains. In my master bedroom, I have 8ft windows.i have shutters and blackout curtains. I don't shop at Pottery Barn, we had a designer come in and the shutters were 1,400ea each (had to do painted wood, composite was too heavy for windows of our size). We then layered lined blackout drapes along the sides of the windows and those with hardware were $900/each. This is with the designer discount. That was $2,300/window. I live at the beach and I can assure you I don't want elaborate. I like light and airy. Hence the 4in shutters. However in some rooms I do need curtains to block out all sun and for a feeling of warmth.

For fun, I just looked at Pottery Barn and "on sale" the curtain alone would have been, for my home over $500 each window, no idea on the hardware. I think I got a good deal at $900 including install. Plus my curtains had to be longer than the longest PB even offers.[/quote]

I’m sure it’s lovely but honestly, I don’t know whether you got your money’s worth, and you wouldn’t feel compelled to post all that if you felt you did.  I just hope your entire room isn’t beige or greige.[/quote]
