Curtain Rod Question

Question: 

I am looking for a traverse rod to cover a arched top window with traverse drapery panels. Will the Item #: 75006 Heavy Duty Flexible Curtain Track work for this shaped window and application?

Also is this rod strong enough if the panels are going to be 80" wide 196" long?

I also have 2 straight windows on the sides, would the same rod work for this if I do not need it to be flexible or is there a coordinating straight rod?

 

Answer:

That rod is strong enough to hold the weight of panels you are describing if enough brackets are put into something secure. The rod is also able to be made straight. However, it is not designed to arch in the manner in which I am thinking you are wanting to use it, which is make it arch around the window. Yes, you can do that and hang stationary panels and valances. The reason it would be difficult to use these as a traversing rod is that you would be fighting against gravity in trying to pull the panels up and then keep them.  Also the length of the drapes would be an issue, as the center part and sides of the traversing drapery panels would be at varying heights when traversed.

Choosing Patterns

Question of the Day: Do you need to make the fabric patterns coordinate from room to room?  Our consensus - do what makes you happy.  We see 1000's of fabrics and it can be so overwhelming - we love so many of them - how do you choose?  Great idea - get a yard of fabric that you like - use our quick no-sew accent pillow and try the fabric out in the room.

Bone Collector Bedding

Bone Collector Black

The cool weather is blowing in here in Arkansas.  The thin comforter is no longer enough to keep us warm, partly because I don't like to turn on the heat until I absolutely have to.  Our bedding suppliers have sent us new catalogs for fall and I have been able to squeeze in a few new sets onto the website.  Like the Bone Collector.  I really like the color combination in the black and gray set.  Of course, the brown set with all the accessories would really make a hunter very happy.  Perfect for decorating a hunting lodge, cabin, man's bedroom or just because you like skulls.

What a clever idea for curtain rings!

Hanging Art above a Sofa

Love this tip from Real Simple:
That space above your sofa can be intimidating to fill. Take this tip from the decorating pros: Choose art that’s two-thirds as wide as the couch—never the same width—and hang it, centered, so that its midpoint is about 60 inches from the floor and its bottom edge about 8 to 10 inches above the sofa back.
