Sewing and installing custom burlap curtains

For the Living Room Lounge we went to a local linen shop in NYC's garment district.  We chose a burlap for that natural but raw look.  It matches perfectly with our burlap Versailles chairs from Restoration Hardware!

In the family room we chose the same curtain fabric because of its versatility.  Linen burlap is great because of its hardy material.  Perfect for keeping the cold from entering the windows in the winter while creating complete privacy!  But it's also ideal for spring / summer because of its cool nature.  Linen/flax is known for its cooling properties so it'll keep the coolness inside the house as well during the hot months!

Here's Philippe hard at work sewing the custom 100"+ curtains for the home!  See the photos below for the works in progress.  Our dear friend, Estie, provided us with her mother's old sewing machine to sew these amazing curtains!!
