Think Debbie, how can you find a creative way to hang your
curtains and not spend a gazillion dollars on an unnecessary, super-long curtain
rod? ***DING*** (That's the sound of the
lightbulb going off in my head). The answer: a towel holder, or bar, depending on your
lingo.
For under $5 each, I purchased the wooden honey oak towel
holders at Home Depot. The beauty of this baby is you
can cut the dowel to the size you need AND you can paint, distress, and glaze them. And I did just that.
Top one is distressed, bottom is not |
Next, I grabbed some turquoise paint I had laying around and rubbed it all over the wood. I let it dry for maybe 15 seconds and then used a cloth to pull off the paint. If you don't like the look you achieved, you can do it again and wait longer. After my "glaze" was dry, I coated the towel bars in wax.
Now it was time to hang the babies. I wanted as much light to come in the room as possible, so I decided to hang the curtains just over the outside seam of the window. I hung all four panels for around $19 and got a custom look too. I guess you can't beat that with a stick. :)
You can see where the "glaze" stayed in the seams |

ReplyDeleteHi Katie. The curtains are from Target -- aren't they fabulous?!? They are called Farrah Fretwork in blue. I'm wondering if I should get the longer ones as I'm not too sure about this length.
