I’ve been meaning to lengthen these cheap Lowe’s curtains forever, it just never rose to the top of the priority list. Now with our listing drawing near, I made time.

I considered during bold wide stripes, but then thought that might be too much- especially for selling purposes. Then I saw these on Pinterest. I was sold:

I love how the narrow stripes add both energy and elegance. 

The process too longer than just adding a panel at the bottom, but I think the finished product was worth it. What do you say?
