Second hand curtain exchange shops

[deliakate]

Has anyone seen those curtain exchange shops - one chain seems to have branches in Fulham and lots of the home Counties commuter towns.

I want to change our bedroom curtains, but dh is going to go spare, as they were made at quite a great cost (over £3k including the William Morris fabric). They are very big and floor length, so i imagine quite adaptable to different window sizes etc. There are 2 pairs.

Do you think I would get a good price? Ideally, i want the money I make to fund the next curtains, as I have seen a very cheap grey linen in Laura Ashley, that I can hopefully get made up by someone more cheaply than last time.

Don't know about chains but there is an exchange in my home town, terribly proper, beautiful curtains. Their agreement was you receive 50% of sale price - which was never cheap

You'd be better off selling them on ebay or Gumtree, large curtains made in a well known fabric often do very well on ebay and you can always set a reserve price on them. A local auction house is also worth trying.

Good quality linen fabric on Amazon for £7.10 a metre. Try making them yourself. You will save hundreds and it is not hard.

Oh no 7to25! They are enormous! I don't have a sewing machine, either!
