Site: nice looking, but seems to take a very long time to load which, unfortunately, is even longer for me. Don't know if this happens to everyone but, after the images on the top half of the page loaded, I scrolled down to the bottom of the page, scrolled back up, and all the images (and the nav links) had disappeared . . . as if they were reloading (the squares were there, but no pics after scrolling back up).
Logos: publisher couldn't find requested pages (either of them).

Too many font faces, too many drop shadows, bevels, etc
Time for a change for sure - the site looks pretty dated. Three years is an eternity in Internet time. It's weird, you're selling a product right out of the 60's/70's and it's your web site that looks dated.
Another suggestion I'd make is for the product shots, try to include a single bead close-up somehow to give users a better feel for the product.
Neither of your logo links are working for me.

Yes - very dated for sure (my thoughts)
I get scroll bars with my resolution - so i only see half your logo before i have to scroll across.
Try making the images (curtains) smaller with a border or something so they stand out more from the blue background, maybe with a small description along the side eg sizes, to give the user more potential to look further.
The structure is their - so it wouldnt take much to tranform the site upto date.
At the end of the day if your are selling the curtains you are doing something right
good luck
