Window Treatments - Decorative Finials, Curtain Rods and Decorator Fabric Panels

Have you noticed  decorative finials, curtain rods and fabric panels are available all over the place?  All kinds of colors, decorator prints, different style tabs...  They are inexpensive and offer great window treatments and decorating opportunities all over the house!  

Take a look at these designer tricks.  An inexpensive fabric drapery panel is hung at the ceiling on a bare wood rod.  The fabric panel hangs at one end of the bathtub from the ceiling to the floor.  It hides the shower curtain when opened.  The decorator kicker idea is the accent fabric on the panel.  The accent fabric has been buttoned to this fabric panel!  Big Looks for Little Cash.  

Several fabric panels can be pulled to drape and cover whole windows.  You can get the look of a whole draped window by framing each side of the window with one fabric panel on each side then using a disappearing window blind for night privacy.

Fun Wire Decorating Project

Do you like a fun zany look?  Take your coil of utility wire or your colored wire and wind it around a broom handle stacking the coils pretty tight.  Go about twenty-four inches.  Cut your wire.  Slide it off.  Take about two inches at one end of your coiled wire and slide it on one end of your copper tube rod leaving about eight inches at the end.  Now,  take the rest of it and wrap it loosely around the end of the rod. About six inches.  Then slide the last two inches on the rod end.

Fluff the coiled wire wrapped loosely around the rod.  Repeat on the other end.  Hang your rod.  

P.S.  You may need to put your drapery panels on before you put your second finial on the rod.
