I searched high and low for some rounded curtain rods for my living room windows, but to no avail. So....when has something like that stopped a Tootsie?...never.
Now...keeping in mind that I am by no means a great how-to in the house like our Jules is...but I am about to give it a try!....here goes.....
I went to the nearest hardware store, and purchased a long length of 3/4 inch plumbers pipe. (the white plastic stuff that is about the same size as a child's hula hoop)
I came home...cut it with a saw to a length 1/2 the size larger than my windows and hung it with traditional curtain rod brackets (available at any wal mart store for pennies a set)
I also had a few straight rod finials left over from a previous project that I had picked up at the local dollar store. I hung those a few inches above the window frame, at a height that would allow my pipe to fit and curve over the window. (this will depend on your window length and how much curve you will be making with the length of pipe you decide on)
I used to have curtains that I made hanging on them, but after the horrible comments on RMS...I have changed them out to some that I purchased.
Livebold, if you should need some more information, let me know. I have also used the pipe to make curved rods that look like balloons coming out of the wall along the ceiling too....but that is another post! I do hope that this helped. It was so simple, that I don't really know what else to say!
Stay tuned...tomorrow you will see the wicker love seat that I saved from the garbage....I needed a project...and we are going on an adventure...Gollum will like it...it involves LOTS of spray paint.
