Curtains!

And I thought the kitchen cabinets were tough!

Curtains is another nightmare man.. now, do you think it is cheap to furnish the whole 3 storey house with curtains?

Firstly, you have to ask yourself.. do you want your curtains to look like the pieces of cloth you get at Kamdar or Globe Silk Store? If you do, then that is C H E A P. But it makes your house look like a prostitute den.

But if you want your house to look like those pictures in the interior design magazines (who doesn't), then you got to go to some curtain specialist like Baagus or SSF Curtains. KNN man, the sheer curtains there are damn nice but damn expensive. Some of the damn nice ones are like RM169 per square foot! So for fun, I sat down and did an estimate with Baagus, wah lao, my front door already, with the 3 panel sliding door, sheer day curtains and nice night curtains.. RM2400 for the entire 3 panel sliding door!

Then I calculated, for my whole house, and assuming some of the Roman Blinds I can buy the buy 1 get one free, and assuming I get a 25% discount on the custom made curtains.. RM10K for the whole house man!

I went to Macy to get the same quote.. cheaper.. but also quite teruk... RM7K.

Wah.. no joke man.
