Just a suggestion...Don't stop at the curtains....paint a room. I read someplace that changing the colors in a room, even slightly, will usually have a positive impact on all people living in the house for 2-3 months. Something along the lines that the mind reacts positively to small changes in the environment....though I don't suggest a Goth color scheme. The other thing about it....it is cheap to paint a room other than some time invested.
