With Summer fast approaching it was time to start thinking about some better options for my boys window treatments. We had a great set of silk striped curtains that go great in the their room, trouble is we only bought one set and they have since been decontinued by Target! Ahh!! I hate when that happens! The sun shines straight in to their room each morning and it is SO BRIGHT! Light blocking curtains were defintely on my mind. I recently gave their room a mini makeover and decided that we would go with some navy light blocking curtains to go with the theme and colors in the room. They have two windows in the room, one large window and one smaller window.
Since we were changing curtains and I thought it would be a great time to change the curtain rods also. Their room has a vintage, fun, eccletic feel and I wanted the curtain rods to echo that. So I went the route of galvanized metal plumbing parts to assemble my rods. You can find everything you need at your local Lowe's or Home Depot. Basically I just screwed the floor flange into the wall with four screws, attached the 90 degree elbow in to that and then used some liquid nails and inserted the metal conduit. Make sure you slide your curtain rings on before you secure both sides!
Here is what you will need:
- 1/2" Galvanized Floor Flanges
- 1/2" 90 Degree Galvanized Elbow
- 1/2" Metal Conduit
- Screws
