I put up 30ft of curtain this weekend. Finally our living room and den has curtains. To try and keep the heat in we got velvet curtains and they all look great. They cover both the windows and the doors and are nicely out of the way when they're open. I really don't like the curtain rods you get at the store (the ones where one rod slides inside another rod) and custom made curtain rods are super expensive so I made my own out of 1/2" iron pipe. It cost $100 for 5 rods one of which was 12ft long. I cleaned, metal etched and then spray painted them black and they look great! I'm super happy with how they turned out.

It's curtains for me!
