curtains by fact do not just blocked against the daylight , it helps against the formation of pigments on our skin as well . and its definitely a must to have in our house ! and would you want a window to be naked all the time ? they want to be dress too .

a couple of years back , mum would just tailor made herself for the whole house and that includes sewing for the grannys and aunts as well as taking orders for a few of her acquaintances . especially when it comes to the peak period , what else but festive season , mum will be as busy as a bee . when its ready to dress those windows , guests were awed by her capability and if you must know , mum is one detailed lady where she always ensure that every part is sewed perfectly . as years passed , she then bought the ready made ones at Geylang . well , that was mum .

you know , i had a hard time making a final decision of choosing blinds at the bedrooms verses curtains. after much thought and discussion with Kamil and the hubs , i chose the latter with no regrets . the search for a capable curtain maker then starts .
i joined renotalk forum , recommended by Kamil and get a few contacts from there . May Cheong from MGL Curtain and Finishing at the Eminent Plaza , won our hearts . She was extremely good and professional , giving us tips and ideas and share with us the pros and cons of handling the different type of fabrics . a bunch of forummers commented that MGL 's workmanship is good .  May gave us a wide range to choose too and the final quotation given by May , was within our budget . Voila ! I didnt bring my mum along this time (most of our furniture hunting , she was with us) as i do not want my taste to be restricted by her opinion . hah .

i definitely just cant wait for the windows to get dressed ! give May a ring at 63920373. she would be more pleased to serve you .

heres some tips which i wish to share with you . taken from my favourite magazine , Square Rooms :
The material that your curtain is made of will drastically alter the look of your room . Sheer organza exudes a gentle touch , soft silk adds a hint of feminity . Thick velvet looks grand and majestic, while untreated canvas or cotton brings a sense of raw industrialism.
