Where do you stick the tiebacks??
Comments (6)I know you are wrestling with all the info and decision making. I went through this in the fall with my LR windows. The PB site has a section on basically what you need to know to hang drapes. I've linked to it. It really helped me alot. I followed their directions for my windows. This is a pic of my panels hung from rings. I don't pull them closed, I just like the look of panels hung from rings. I didn't need privacy either. My rod is hung quite high because I needed the 96" length. 84" was too short because my windows from top of trim to floor was exactly 84". I wanted to hang the drapes a little higher than the trim. Once I decided on the length needed I followed the directions. It took a lot of decision making out of my hands. Gladly! Sometimes I need someone to tell me what to do! HTH!

Comments (6)To find the length for a tieback, use a measuring tape, wide ribbon, strip of fabric, etc. - something flexible, but NOT stretchy... and 'tie' the curtain back using the tape, to the point where you'd like the curtain pulled back with the finished tieback. The hook on the wall can either be hidden by the curtain, or exposed if it is decorative. Take that into account when you are doing your measuring. That loop is the length of the finished tieback, give or take an inch or two, depending on how you make the tieback closure. If you've never made drapery tiebacks before, you may want to go to your public library and check out a few books on drapery sewing. You will find good information on the construction of tiebacks, lining them, interlining them for stiffness if appropriate, decorating them with braiding, tassels, etc. - lots of things to consider that will be difficult to find on an Internet site....See MoreHome set up and more...
Comments (54)well, after a few wks of nothingness (other than runs to the vet and going broke!) the guys came out and filled in the trenches, took away a lot of the trash from it all and showed me which switches to turn on to put the juice to the lights and sockets. I need to buy a bunch of bulbs tomorrow - some are burned out and some are missing. And I can vacuum over there now and suck up a bunch of that dirt! I was tired yesterday but I did go to Lowe's and brought home a few sheet vinyl samples to try out (along with the one I had). and I bought 2 lever handles for the 2 rooms with deadbolts on them. I spent over an hour there looking at stuff - flooring, knobs, cab handles, doors, bathroom cabs and lighting. I think I'll have to get larger light fixtures for the outside doors. those small ones are just toooo small - unless someone knows a nifty way to change out the bulbs. I can't deal with the kind of globes you have to unscrew and rescrew back in. I also don't anticipate the thrill of squeezing my chubby fingers into the tiny opening they usually give to access the bulb on others. Didn't see any lights that I liked for the DR area or bathrooms. I might 'see' differently next time there when I'm not so tired. I should look at lights FIRST on the next trip there. certainly didn't see any cab handles I liked. they did have some unfinished bathroom cabs that were only 30" high (if my eye sight is correct). nothing special, just plain 'ol wood - oak. had some side sections with drawers - to purchase separately. just in case I don't find any at the restore or CL. I didn't like any of their indoor/outdoor carpet on the rolls in back. they did have a few precut rolls (most 5x7, a few were bigger) that looked good for about 26.00 - 45.00 $'s. that's an option in the coming weeks... I picked up 2 area rugs at the new 'used' store in our town last week. both 5 x 7. one solid color and one print with color of the solid color rug in it. might work in the back rooms or together in the DR/LR. Time will tell. I did see a sliding door I liked. It was 3,000.00. So much for what I like! ha! I'm sure dbf has a much cheaper 'model' around somewhere anyway. and free to me is the 'cheap' I like! Not much will get done monday or tuesday (doc appt for me and I have to do another glucose curve on boy Tuesday) but maybe on Wednesday I can make more progress over there. I tried to post this yesterday but every time I scrolled down to about the halfway mark the screen would disappear and it would say 'loading' again! I couldn't even scroll down more than that to read a post....See MoreCurtain Tiebacks on Tile
Comments (10)These: http://www.command.com/3M/en_US/command/products/~/Command-Clear-Small-Wire-Hooks?N=5924736+3294529207+3294737332&rt=rud And try to put them behind the outer edge of the curtain. They used to make all sorts of things for curtains that have fallen by the wayside. In the house I grew up in the sheers had lead weights in the bottom hem, the sheers and the curtains had small brass rings in the inside back hem and there were small brass hook that attached to the baseboard to hold the outer edges of the curtains flat against the wall. The tieback rings were sewn away from the edge so the tieback material covered the ring. They also made tiny hooks for tie backs that could be nailed in or screwed in but were definitely not cup hooks. This stuff is probably all still available but even fabricators don't seem to use any of this stuff anymore...See MoreBabka NorCal 9b
