Four simple words that bring me so much joy. I have two pair in my booth right now and they’re just hung on nails in the wall. 
No rods or hooks-just flat on the wall. My booth is mostly mid-century goods and the panels give just the right touch of retro flair. I’ve been dabbling in different ideas for curtain rods and hope to get my curtains hanging appropriately soon.
In the meantime, I have been redecorating my living room. I’m tired of my jungle theme. Tired of the giraffe pictures and elephant statues.
It’s been that way for more than 10 years and time for a change. All the furniture had to come out to refinish the hardwood floors and it was a perfect opportunity to start with a clean slate. My dingy sand colored walls are slowly transforming to a lovely shade of light grey-blue and my mantle now showcases recent vintage finds.
I’ll have to stick with my brown micro suede sofas and oversized chair and ottoman but they go with the flow, for now.
I have always done my decorating by picking a focal point and creating from there. So to be honest, the entire inspiration of my redecorated living room comes from a beautiful pair of pinch pleat curtains I found at an estate sale. They were buried in the back of an old barn under piles of old rugs and bedspreads. They were wrinkled, musty smelling and look more like old sheets than a pair of curtains, but they were perfect to me! I took them home, washed them and hung them on my windows, on my freshly painted wall. It was destiny. Or fate. Or whatever….they were meant for my living room!
I didn’t want to use the traverse rods with the tracks made for pinch pleats, so I found a way to hang them using the rings with clips. I took the clips off so that the little loop was at the bottom of the ring. Then I used the drapery pins in the pleats and hooked the pin through the loop. Since I have blinds on the window, I won’t be pulling the curtains back and forth, but I can if necessary. Tahdah!
Now to finish painting my walls and find an old dresser to use as a console for our majestic 65″ TV. I will show you the finished project just as soon as I get it complete. Thanks for following me!
