Becca Broe Studio

A lesson it took me 16 hours to learn on my first curtain attempt…

I have an entire wall of glass doors. They make my apartment so beautifully bright and it’s a big reason I took this place. So I decided to make these curtains and block half of that light 🙈

I had not factored in that there is no room to pull the curtains back so they’d be blocking almost half the window up even in the day! I had this decadent idea of big velvet curtains which totally block any light from coming through. Fantastic in a drafty farmhouse - not in a modern bright apartment. OOOOPS.

They also really didn’t fit the design vibe and after 16 hours spent on making them - I was soooo disappointed!!

Thankfully I thought of someone whose place would suit these way better and they’ve gone to a very good home. In the meantime, I have ordered a stunning aqua blue linen to make a much lighter pair and will forever remember this curtain lesson.

Keep an eye out because I’m making them this weekend.
