Hanging drapes is easier than you think. With these simple rules — you’ll have your new window treatments installed in no time.

First, measure your window to see what size curtains you will need and where you will want the curtain rod mounted. Remember to always measure twice and drill once.

 Mount the bracket for the double curtain rod using a power drill. Make sure that the placement is where you want it so that your curtains will hang correctly. If you are mounting the bracket in drywall, you may need to use anchors so that the weight of the curtains won’t pull the bracket out. If you are mounting directly into a wood window frame you will not need them.

 Using the smaller of the two rods, hang the sheers. You will hang the rod on the inside bracket. Using the larger of the two rods, hang the curtains. This rod will go on the outside. When finished, you can buy decorative tie-backs to finish your new look.

Windows are so fun to decorate.  There are so many styles that are beautiful, cute and fun.  Just adding a little fabric next to a window will change the look of an entire room.  We do some great custom treatments at unbelievable prices….for custom…..it’s usually cheaper to buy them off the rack but most of the time they are pretty plain or simple.  So if you’re feeling like you want to do something a little special custom windows will really warm up and make a space look great.  It’s important to realize what makes all those catalog and magazine pictures look so great is not necessarily the pieces of furniture (although there are some great pieces) but all the little “extras” like window treatments, paint, fabrics, decor.  Do a room at a time and watch it trasform. In time your entire house will be done.  It could be the missing piece to your room.
