Ever run out of money towards the end of a room makeover? I did and look what I came up with for the curtain rod in my daughter's room! Whimiscal, fun, and nearly free!
Did the same thing in my bedroom with a white birch branch from a tree we had to cut down when we built our home. It was a way of "preserving" a piece of this tree and looks great with my four-poster pine log bed.
I wish I had a picture, but one time I used a bamboo rod (we had a stand of it growing in the yard) because I was too "frugal" to go buy curtain rods OR curtains. I had a ton of 1/8" satin ribbon in varying colors and half-hitched strands to the bamboo rod and voila! Funky window covering.
I am using drift wood to make my curtain rods. I am using Cammo material and putting ties on the top. I am turning an old 2 bedroom 2 bath trailer into a log cabin.
