They also have a host of issues. One, they are still being tucked unceremoniously behind the unmounted headboard. Doug has all the tools and hardware to mount that baby, but he was spraying the cedar fence last night (no, not a new fence, still the one that the neighbor put up to keep his grandchildren from chasing our chickens underneath his horse). He was not too interested in helping me find the stuff I needed, so that project has been delayed. Again.
Next, we have the issue that WalMart only had three curtain panels instead of the four I needed. So, I thought, I'll just go home and order more on their website. Oh, no. Not that easy. They don't show it on the website. So now I have to hope that they restock these babies and check back until I see them on the shelves again. Maybe there's a better way...but that's how I typically handle things like that.
The curtains, by the way, are Eclipse "For Kids" grommet panels with blackout liner. Which works very, very well. I may never wake up again. Why the "For Kids" label? They were less expensive, and the fabric didn't look like the shiny polyester that Eclipse normally uses on their regular curtains. Why do they do that? More people might buy them if they looked less like a '70's throwback. Just sayin'.
Last, but not least, they look like they are high-water curtains. This is the anticipated issue: most curtains come in 84" length, and these were going to be hung as close to the ceiling as possible. So I knew there would be some alterations in the future. I'm actually going to use the other side of the fabric I used for the headboard. Cool, huh? It has two different patterns, one of which I liked better for the headboard. The other will work just swimmingly for the curtains.
Hopefully, these curtains will never have to swim, though. Again, just sayin'.
Very nice!!! Course, you probably have about 4 WalMarts in your area (they're like mushrooms, you know, popping up everywhere), you could just go to the other ones to see if they're in stock there.
