Yay! I just pounded a couple of drywall anchors in and screwed down the brackets for my living room curtains. Light still seeps through the velvet, even with the blinds closed, but it’s cut down far enough that I can sprawl in there and suffer a few deaths in Dark Souls in the middle of the afternoon if I feel that desire.
This will also open up possibilities like “sprawling in the living room with the boyfriend and a movie in the middle of the day”.
I would still like to add some finesse to the curtains, as well as add some sheer red ones behind the purple ones for visual flair, but they are fully functional for the reason I got them.
I spent about $100 for the double rods, clip rings, and spiral finials, and close to $200 for the raw velvet. I could have spent less but, I think, not a TON less. I could have also spent a lot more.
Open.
Closed.
Closed, with the sun partially hidden behind some clouds.
