I found a beautiful duvet cover for my king size bed but alas no sheets or draperies in matching design available. After checking the single size duvet measurements I thought of creating the draperies myself. Length was perfect and I discovered that I would have a little extra on each side panel. ( 10 inches or so) I used an inexpensive creamy colored lining to allow for more light block at night w/out adding daytime dim light. I will fashion some tiebacks made from my leftover remnants tomorrow and add a little solid contrast trim. My DH was amazed w/the way the bedroom has been madeover.
