Rope Turned Nautical Theme Curtain Rod by Chris & Amy
It will be two years next month that Chris and I moved into our home, and for two years we have not had curtains in our "formal" living room. I changed my mind on the paint color a million times and did not know how I wanted the room decorated. As I was putting pieces together the room organically evolved into a shabby chic/coastal vibe. Our window treatments were last on the list and I was determined to put something up. I was inspired by a photo I found from vintagerevival.blogspot.com. First I spray painted all the hardware with leftover spray paint. Chris put the hooks up for me:) We put the rope up first so we could make sure it was even on both sides. Afterwards, we fed the curtains through the rope and tied the sides around boat cleats!!! After two years its finally complete and we couldnt be happier:)
This is such a cute idea and so unique! It looks great and was worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! :)
Deletehow clever! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a clever idea! I like how it turned out and I'm sure you are happy to finally have curtains up! It takes me forever to pick out curtains too, but they really do finish off the room! *Says the person who doesn't have curtains in her living room yet
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Samm. Curtains are definitely hard to pick out!

ReplyDeleteSo randomly my neighbor told me the other day that they have 600 ft of hemp rope in their basement that they dont know what to do with... I will have to show her this!
