Pipe Dreams. AKA Build a DIY Curtain Rod in 10 Minutes!

10 Minutes
Easy
Dreams. We've all got them, hopefully, no matter our age. Some dreams, we are lucky enough to see come true. But sadly, some remain the ever elusive pipe dream. So desired, yet so painfully just. out. of. reach. And we press on till we're at the end of our rope trying to see that dream become reality.
Call me your fairy godmother, team, because today, I'm going to make some pipe dreams come true. And we're gonna take that rope you may be at the end of and USE it in a healthy, productive way.
I'm gonna wave my magic wand, and by the time "bibbity bobbity boo" comes out, you'll have your very own DIY industrial-nautical-what-have-you ceiling and/or wall mount curtain rods made of...you guessed it...pipe and rope!
The entire tutorial and supply list are over on the blog.
You'll need basically three easy materials, and we'll show you how it's done!


This type of rod can be affixed to a wall, or a ceiling, or both.


We've used this project several times. In different kinds of rooms, as well. It's super versatile.
Boy's Bedroom BEFORE
By the way, here's one of the two rooms we installed them in...this was how it looked BEFORE.


Now, it's our son's nautical-ish/transportation-y bedroom. His little bed "nook" is created with these curtain rods.


The other room we have them in is our master bath. We literally had no budget for this bathroom, and it's in good, working, functional condition anyhow, so we did a $0 makeover, and these DIY curtains were part of it!
