Most cafe curtains on the market sit between 80 and 150 gsm: cotton voile, polyester sheer, a featherweight linen tier.

Two numbers do most of the work in this review. 350 gsm, which is the heavyweight slub body Two Pages chose for the Sarale Cafe family. And 10 percent linen, 90 percent polyester, which is the blend ratio printed on the catalog page for every Sara Le designed colorway. You came here because you saw … Read more
Picture a kitchen sink window, 36 inches wide, south wall, neighbor’s siding sitting 14 feet away across the side yard.
