Not sure if U're good w/ a sewing machine or not, but this is what I did & it was cheaper than buying 2 curtains/drapes.
** Optional ** Since there r different shades of pink, get some paint samples of Pink.**
Measure the width & length of the window or area U're going to put them.
Add a few inches to the length (2"s to the top & 1" to the bottom) & a bunch to the width (8"s or +). Or just use the complete width of the fabric U buy ~scrunches up nicely.
Then go to WalMart, or a Fabric Store & Find that color Pink or something veryy close & buy the material
~I liked WalMart's $1 & $2 a Yard areas of fabric for this.
Then find some thread that's close in color too ~darker or lighter works just fine.
Take it home & sew it up. Or if U're not good at sewing, find some1 that is. ~I got lucky & found some1 to sew up my Curtains/Drapes.
It costs me $6 in fabric (6 Yards), $2 in thread (1 Roll) & $20 to have it sewn ($10 a Curtain/Drape). So I spent $28 on 2 very Long Curtains/Drapes. ( 80 1/2" each w/ 2" Rod Pockets, 1" Bottom Hem)
Cant Beat that Deal! & U sure cant buy 2 curtains that long for that price anywhere.

Try Target. They have lots of cute shabby chic light pink curtains, quilts, etc. Target online has 10x's what Target stores have and often have online coupon for free shipping or 10% off.

Why don't you go out and by the style curtain you want in pure white and then go home and dye them using red or pink dye. Probably costs less but takes more of your time. Or you can wash the white curtains with one of your new red clothes. This always seems to ruin my wife's things when I do the laundry.

Maybe you can find a shower curtain you like with grommets? Hang them on the curtain rod like you would a on a shower rod with shower rings.
