I recently had my wedding reception at the Lion's Eye Institute in Ybor. It's in an old cigar factor and the ballroom has a lot of character. I had seen photos of white sheer drapes in all 21 huge windows and priced renting it from a decor company - they ended up quoting upwards of $1800 because the windows are huge and they charge by the foot.
I made them myself for much less and they looked beautiful!! I was so happy with how they transformed the space and gave a much more formal vibe. I definitely have no use for 21 huge window panels at this point, though.
If anyone here is using the Lion's Eye for your venue and are interested, I'll sell them at cost - $650 for all 21 panels and 21 tension rods. They are long enough that they bunch up on the floor as well. If interested, reply to this post. I can probably dig up a picture if needed.
Thanks!
