I can't say enough about Mona's. They have an incredible selection of fabrics, they do some of the best work I've ever seen any place do with anything, and they will work with you to get exactly what you want. Just like the bookcases discussed in the previous entry, every aspect of these curtains was selected by us.

They don't just do curtains either. Anything that takes fabric and can be sewn together they'll do, as long as you have the proper measurements. You can find pre-fab stuff considerably cheaper, but for custom work that comes out as beautifully as their work at Mona's does, the price is great.

If you live in, move to, or even visit Guadalajara, you are an idiot if you need this kind of work done and you don't go to Mona's. Okay? I am not getting paid to say that, nor did I get any kind of discount from them. They're just that good.

I need to re-pin the hooks, as they're a little high up on the curtains. After getting them installed, I wished the print was a little bigger. With that much of that busy a pattern, I'm afraid it's a little nauseating, but it is in keeping with our nice retro look. Perhaps once we get other stuff in the room it won't seem so busy.

We also got a nice hand-woven runner for our dining room table:

...and some placemats that go to cover the end tables we bought from Mueblería de Jesús:
