check out the AFTER of the whole room re-do here!
DO IT!:
- remove the plastic blind slats from the clips in the track
- clip in your own inexpensive fabric curtains to the clips... i got my simple white ones from Ikea and cut them to size for my window and hemmed them with iron-on hem tape.
- cover the ugly metal track with a pair of decorative panel curtains - i got mine from Cost Plus World Market - and fasten them with sticky velcro.
- cover the rest of the exposed metal track with the tie-back that comes with the curtain panels. done!
