Hello people! This week on the show weâre showing you all the little details of the renovated apartment. Itâs such fun to dot all the iâs and cross all the tâs. One of the things we discussed this week was training your drapes. Itâs easily accomplished and should be done when new drapes are installed.  

Begin by cutting strips of scrap fabric about 4â? wide, then stack the drapes back as far as theyâll go, and arrange the folds as youâd like them to be. Then wrap the strips around the stacked back drapes and pin the in place. There should be a band about every 3 feet. Leave the bands on the drapes for about 2 weeks. When you remove them the drapes will ârememberâ? their position when ever you open them.
