This is my first time doing window treatments. What to do?
Question by LoyaLady: This is my first time doing window treatments. What to do?
My living room is painted orange and I have a white modern living room set with a few scroll designed traditional pieces. The space is not very large so I would like something that would keep the airy feel it has. My bedroom also needs window treatments and the walls are painted a green/mustard yellow color. I also have the same white modern love seat in my bedroom as a chaise. This room is also not very large. I have finally settled on the layout, but definitely need help with the window treatments since it is my first time. I welcome your suggestions. Please also be sure to include the texture and color(s).

I like sheer over sheer when privacy is not a issue. I would reverse the colors and put the color to match the wall under the white to keep the light feel If you hang them similar to the picture of the pink ones it should look nice.

Q&A: I am having a hard time finding some window treatments?
Question by LuvLife: I am having a hard time finding some window treatments?
I am looking for WHITE (not antiqued, or ivory) curtain rods for panel curtains. I need a 4 Ft and a 8Ft. I am having so much trouble, if you can please point me in the right direction. Looking for something that won’t break the bank!
Also any ideas for a window in a bathroom. I was thinking of a roman shade, can you use blinds with these or no

I had the same problem finding rods and ended up making my own. I needed something sturdy to hold the weight and looks like you are in the same situation. At 8′ you can buy a rod at the local home improvement center and cut it to size then paint it. The finials can be attached at the ends, also purchased there. Then arms can be purchased and painted to hold the rods. Total cost is about $ 20
Windows in a bathroom can be a pain. Buy a privacy film and install it on the glass that way you can keep the light during the day….at night, a roller blind can be pulled down so as not to give the neighbors a shadow show.

Hi we just got a new house and I’d like to make my own window treatments. I would be sewing by hand but also have a hot glue gun :). I’ve never made window treatments and could use some simple suggestions, or useful links.

It would depend on what type of window treatments you are making–valances, curtains, shades. If you go to a fabric store for fabric then you may be able to get either a pamphlet or a book with instructions for whatever you want to make.
