Curtain Call!

Remember my post about the Marrimeko tableclothes turned minimal DIY curtains?  Well, they finally arrived!

Unfortunately, my hubby's back was thrown out, so I had to do the bracket installations:


It wasn't too bad, except that I ended up putting the two side brackets too far out so the rod wasn't supported.  doh!  Here's me pre-mistakes:



It was nothing that a few extra holes couldn't cure! (the wall was incredibly difficult to screw through in some spots, so I did a little experimenting and then my husband came over with an electric drill, which fixed all of the erroneous trial and error screwing by hand.)

I loved the way they turned out! Here's a few close ups:





I did do a few different curtain placements (like the four panels instead of just two, but I thought the two on each side looked the best since the curtains were kinda busy and I wanted to keep the room clean and simple)


Oh, and I do have a picture of the room without the spackle marks. I'll have to update this post later ;)
