We brought all of our old curtains with us hoping they might work here. In the girls' room, the way the rods had to be hung made the curtains too short. We really didn't want to have to go to the trouble to look for new ones so we decided to doctor them instead. We ripped the seam and it made them long enough. Almost two months later, I finally made it down to the area where they sell fabric, ribbon and trims. We were really lucky and found exactly what we needed in the first shop, and it didn't take long to transform the curtains!
