I decided to sit down and finish sewing the last curtain panel for my dining room. I have been trying to get it done for about six months now. I don’t know why I stopped with only one to go. I must have been really tired! I put the finishing touches on the very last one and then pulled out the hardware that I am going to make into a bay window curtain rod. I have searched high and low for a bay window curtain rod to my liking. There are only few choices out there for bay windows and the few available on the internet and at JCPenney either cost way too much or was not suitable for my needs. I did not want a double curtain rod and I wanted to be able to open and close the curtains, so the rod had to be nice to look at with the drapes tied back or pulled close. So…I took a trip to Lowes and bought several pieces and parts and made my own bay window rod. Right now it looks like this:
Overlook the rug. It is temporary until I get new dining furniture. Right now it is serving its purpose by protecting the wood floors. Anyway… I am two curtain brackets short and need to run to Lowes to see if I can find two more. Hopefully I can talk Steven in to cutting the rods down to size so I can paint them, assemble it all and get it put up on the windows before next week. We have been in our house two years without any curtains….sigh….
Here are the dining room curtains that will be going up (hopefully) sometime this week.
Off to finish the curtain rods……
TOMORROW IS CHRISTMAS!
