Hi Lindaz, thanks for posting this. We have new verticals because we moved here not long ago. But I never cared for verticals either. Well we can't replace them now, but definitely in the future. I'll run over to Joy's and have a look for the heck of it. Thanks again. :bigthumbsup:

Chelsea,
I am saving up to do mine too!
I am glad you have the same problem with the verticals. I also just like to look at what's new, so I was really excited by these.

Sorry guys! You can go look at blinds too!!!

I got into this trend by error, but when did curtains became "window treatments"? Just asking.

They are beautiful... INDEED

Oh man. Would Baby Monroe have fun with those! He would make a tangled, knotted mess of them in no time at all! :yikes:

Thanks Maxine8. I will check the website out further. That's not a website that I had found. I do think that type of curtain is a window treatment but then again I could be wrong. I'll also check out the sheer verticals. Thanks.

If you watch HGTV, anything that goes over, under, around, near, or on a window is a "window treatment." :dontknow:

Nice to meet you Carol! We have a house in Hadley too!!! Where are you?

Do I read wrong. $635 for the whole house? WOW!

We just today bought a love seat from Ikea that makes into a bed. It is a new item for Ikea. It looks great as a loveseat for the third bedroom as a den or office and then it pulls out into a bed when guests come. We have an Ikea very close to us in West Chester, Ohio and there is one in Orlando. This love seat usually sells for about $400, but we found one in the clearance. (An unimportant part had been damaged) for $183.

The unfortunate part is we are here and here is where we have the time to shop. We will be pulling a trailer again when we come down, but it turned out to be not hard to do. You can rent a trailer in your own city and turn them in Leesburg. It requires a hitch to be put on your car or van however.

I visited the IKEA store in Palo Alto CA last week when we were visiting our son and grandchildren. Have you had any experience with the quality of bookshelves etc? We are going to need a lot of shelving for stuff. I knew there was one in Orlando so browsed with that in mind.
