Between Naps on the Porch: Affordable Buffalo Check Curtains

Affordable Buffalo Check Curtains

Lately, I've had curtains/draperies on the brain. Once the walls are all finished in my home office, I'm toying with the idea of adding some simple curtain panels on either side of the double window.

If you don't sew or if you just don't have the time to make your own draperies, one of the most reasonably priced stores with great "stuff" online is Country Curtains. Don't let the name fool ya, they carry lot of beautiful curtains and draperies that are definitely not "country" style. They also have a few "physical" stores in the northeast where you can shop in person. I actually had the opportunity to shop in one a few years ago in Richmond, Virginia. It was like stepping inside the catalog. Wish I had been blogging then, I would have taken pics to share.

I adore this Buffalo Check...

You can get it in red, too.

Bees on a sheer fabric...LOVE!

Another cute sheer...

So perfect for summer...

Gorgeous silk panels for only $99 a panel! Wow! They come in several colors...

Wonderful draperies in a striped moire fabric...love these! This almost makes me want to paint my dining room walls this color just so I can buy these drapes.

These feel so fresh and summery...

They even have draperies that will go with the bedding I chose...

for my master bedroom many, many years ago. How cool is that?!

See you this evening for Tablescape Thursday!

I still like your fabrics used in your bedroom.

I'm needing to find some lace panels for Home Haven.
Think your post is helpful. I will be looking into their catalog.

I use to get their catalog. . .haven't had one for years. . .may have to get back on their mailing list. I adore those with the bees, that was until I saw the ones with birds. How delightful are they? Thank you for such an inspiring post! "Mr. Ed" and I are toying with the idea of changing the Master Bedroom linens. This may be a great source for us!
Fondly,
Pat

At Wednesday, February 23, 2011 , Tire Swing Mom said...: I, too, love this company and have always been more than pleased with my purchases from them.

Years ago, when I was first married I ordered curtains from another catalog company I won't name. They were so cheap and thin - not at all how they appeared in print - that I refused for many years to ever order from another catalog. Then I gave CC a try and could not have been happier.

As someone mentioned their original store in Stockbridge, Mass. is wonderful - it's located inside the historic Red Lion Inn which I believe the Fitzpatrick family (of C.C.) also own. The home decor items, particularly the lamps they always carry, are a delight. It makes for a nice outing to shop at the Stckbridge store, have lunch in the Red Lion Tavern and then visit the Norman Rockwell Museum, a few streets over from Main. Also,their customer service is great when using the catalog for ordering and they are constantly updating styles and colors as well as continuig to offer more traditional looks.

At Wednesday, February 23, 2011 , Debbie said...: Just about every window in our house growing up was dressed with Country Curtains. We lived right down the way from the one (original one, I think) in Stockbridge MA.

They are beautiful and of the BEST quality. Love them.

Can't afford them right now LOL... but still love them.
At Wednesday, February 23, 2011 , Linda (More Fun Less Laundry) said...: Hi Susan, We have a CC nearby, equally situated between Home Goods and Pierre Deux, so when I go in that direction to shop it usually means trouble! They have beautiful window treatments. I made some curtains when I first graduated from college, but I would not like to do that again! Linda

At Wednesday, February 23, 2011 , Janette @ The2Seasons said...: I stop in to visit their original store in the Red Lion Inn every year when I visit Stockbridge, MA. The red checked curtains are my favorite.
At Wednesday, February 23, 2011 , Anita @ GoingALittleCoastal said...: I know I should be looking at the curtain and they are pretty. But I really love the color of the door in the first shot! I wish I knew what it was. I'm trying to get ideas for colors that go well with brick.
