Welcome to another edition of my video and I was feeling super ambitious today and I decide to take down on the curtains and wash them and it has been at least a year and a half since I have washed my curtains so I just probably never do it on You Tube. But Cher and I have done so much work in this house, even on the floor ripping it up last week that the dust in this house are just on the curtains because we are pretty clean people but the curtain stuff that I just kind of ignored—ignored as you can probably thought.
With my curtains here in the house, you know, as you look at those designs—it shows in this thing how you can renovate a house that is really cheap and these curtains are prime examples of cheap. And again, probably I should not show it in You Tube. These curtains that I got here were from the store called Lowell’s which is now in Canada. And these were only $12.99 per panel. And they kind of look—they kind of have like a little bit of the shimmer to it which I really love. But the problem is that I needed to replace it on every window of the house.
So, for $12.99, the two sides were 24 bucks. It was actually a pretty good deal. But the problem is that we had to hand them for something that I was not willing to spend at least $30, $40 to $50 on rod. So, what I decided to do is I got the idea from a design show that I can go home and get the dowel and I got a dowel at Mauna in Cash and Carry. And I sand it up and stained it with the same colors as my woodwork.
I stained it with the same color of my woodwork so I have the material already and so basically for $4.00 each rod. I was able to do the whole house on the main level and it is going to be one of those things when I sell the house, it will stay withheld because when the rods are up on the actual window frames you can actually see that because they are stained with the same color. They are just excellent and it keeps other things looking natural.]
So, this is what we are doing today and I am trying and I probably having burden on using the washing machine. But anyway that is another edition of video.
