apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

These curtains are from made from an Etsy Seller, Tealtown. I believe they are $100.00 a pair

Michelle,
I'm one of the camera operators on The Biggest Loser and after I saw your post, I walked over to the art department and asked them where they got the curtains from. The woman who bought the material wasn't in today, but another art department staffer said the curtains were made from fabric found in a shop in the fashion district of downtown LA (if you haven't been to that part of Los Angeles, it's where one can find a great variety of clothes, shoes and fabric for cheap). If you're interested, I'll ask her next week if she can remember the name of the shop.

If nobody else is going to say it:

Ornate chandeliers are beautiful. Putting pictures of ornate chandeliers on random junk is pointless. Chandelier curtains, chandelier pillows, chandelier wall decals, notebooks, plates, lunchboxes, toilets and mousepads. What's the point?

The NYT already did an article on how this was out-of-hand six months ago. I'd say this trend is out, but it was never in to begin with.

Just save up for a real chandelier. That's what I'm doing.

for each their own. i personally dont have a single room in my small house for any type of chandelier, i do agree they are definitely a trend thts been going on for a while now. but if that is what you like and want then go for it!

Nesser - I'd love to know which shop, thanks!

John M. - I appreciate your candor and understand where you're coming from. The curtains I'm looking for are much more like a toile pattern -- and, really, what's more timeless than toile? Also, the space I'm looking to put the curtains is a space that I can use over and over again to sort of transform the room in an inexpensive manner. So, I'm not saving my pennies for a chandelier that I'll regret later, just spending a /-$100 on something I can change whenever the fancy strikes me.

Ew, those are tab-top curtains. Speaking of "out"...

Michelle B -
I spoke to the person who bought the chandelier fabric for Mark and Jay's room and it was from Home Fabrics on Wall St. in downtown Los Angeles. She said there were a few color combinations to choose from. You can probably call them up if you aren't an Angeleno and see if they can ship to you. Hope this helps!
