I really hate buying new stuff. Really. So, I tried to make as many of the curtains from our last house "work" in the new one. Other than the fact that the new house has many more windows (which means buying more curtains) the biggest problem was was in fact a "big" problem. As in, all the windows here are big, much bigger than the old house's windows. And the ceilings are higher. Even though I hung the curtains as low as possible, which goes against all decorating sense, they still came up short. This made for some awkward looking curtains.

Fortunately, most curtains have a fairly large hem. I decided to let out the hem. With a little ironing and stitching across the bottom, they look great! I didn't even take them down to do this. I will definitely be repeating this process all over my house. It was a quick and free fix.
