Window treatments on the cheap

Well, this comes at a good time since the curtains mentioned in the previous post are the kind that you need the fancy pants curtain rods and not the cheapy metal ones. We didn't want to spend money on new curtain rods so I thought we'd just suffer with the ugly ones utnil we found a deal on the nice ones.

Over here at Thrifty Fun.com, someone posted about how they created curtain rods from PVC pipe, drapery rod finals (decorative ends) and drapery brackets. Then they painted it all with a metalic paint, and viola! - curtain rods that look super nice, but were not near the cost of the real thing.

Great idea - I'll let you all know when we end up doing this.
