I don't plan on putting any expletives in this post, but be glad you weren't around to witness the shower of words that resulted from hanging curtains. There are many household projects that are hard to tackle, those ceiling fans I've been painting? Basically anything that involves teeny tiny screws just sends me over the edge. I want to know how Handy men can handle this. I mean they have much larger fingers than mine, being men and all, you would think that those little screws and tight spaces would be beyond them. I tell myself it comes with experience, but that experience is hard won for sure! I am happy with my curtain rod install job and would love to put up pictures, but am currently looking for my cord in order to download them. So I will describe my living room as it is coming together. We started back in the summer before we got married with tiling the floor with a beautiful gray/multi colored tile. It picks up greens, blues and pinks in the sunlight. I chose a pale robin's egg blue for the walls and hung the same color curtains striped with gold. We have huge windows in there and so light is constant making the room cozy instead of cool. Best tip I can give for hanging your curtains: be sure you position the rod with one grommet in the curtain on the opposite side of the bracket. This way you don't see the bracket at all, just curtain and rod. (pictures will show detail better)
Keep creating, Christmas present for in laws will be completed this week!!
