We need curtains up in our family room. The windows are west facing, and some curtains would definitely help us save on cooling the house. So, I came across this neat lady's post on Pinterest. I was so excited! She said she got most of her supplies at Lowe's, so I ran out to Lowe's the next day! Sadly, I did not really find ANY thing at Lowe's! Well, not anything that would work for me. I need a 12' curtain rod, and I could only find an 8' wooden rod at Lowe's. So, when I got home, I hopped on the internet. I was able to find some brackets and finials at Hobby Lobby, and a canvas drop cloth at Walmart, but I could not find a 12' wooden pole, ANYWHERE!
So, I was at Ikea today and found a black metal rod for $6, brackets for $1.50 each and add on pieces (for the layered look) for $0.50 each! They also had a few ends to choose from, though I didn't really care for any of the ends that they had in stock. But I can now have a curtain rod for under $15! Nice.
