- I did this project about a month ago now, but I was having problems uploading any of my edited videos, I believe that's all fixed yay!
This project ended up costing me about $80 total! But of course that's mostly because of the curtains. I LOVE how it looks and how much light still comes in. We've made even more changes to this room since this project and I can't wait to share them in upcoming videos!

I'm a PVC nut!! And didnt think of this until now so I went hunting for videos....thank you! It looks awesome. So much easier if you like to switch around curtains like I do
Thank you for the diy. Just what I needed. And fyi your curtains look amazing
Great idea! You could also cut an inch off the ends & use the pvc caps as finials for a finished look.
I found this trying to see if I could paint dark stained smooth curtain poles and finials. Great job. What a star
I have a lovely living room and my big windows would be too expensive the regular way. This has been my plan. I'm glad you posted your video. I'll be using the elbows too and I choose white sheets for drapes . Thank again!!
Love it !! thank you for your idea! i was going crazy trying not to purchase this expensive rods but you saved our $$ pockets 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

great vid! best thing about diy rods is the grommets dont get stuck in the middle. so glad you showed the ends too. not sure what u could use there. most need something to screw in

Wow, good job!
So cool, bravo!!!
Thank you! I'm going to try this. Wish me luck!!!
Looks great!!
when i had to paint my PVC pipe i just use 2 skate boards trucks with the wheels. and they both had the same Wheels. i just took both skateboard trucks off the skate beards front trucks, then into a 2-inch thick piece of wood 5 inch width. screw them in i got 2 reduction fitting to fit over the wheels then on to the the pipes then got a wide rubber band and a old fan and use the rubber band as a belt then i tun on the fan on low then i could pray paint the pipe all in one pass from left to right waited it to dry then repeat was faster this way but u have to movie kind slow but not to slow or u will get the paint to drip
Thank you 😊 great video I really enjoyed watching.
Thank you so much. I did the the same thing and it came out great.
I am impressed.
I amwondering if you put any spacer to keep the rod off the wall and to give your curtains some clearance when wanted to move them along the rod.
How clever are you? I thought this was going to look awful but it looks great, fantastic job!
This looks amazing😍. I wish I saw it a few hours earlier today. Ended up paying for some shitty curtain rods😦
Good work I love it .only that I would spray the bracket in the same color as the pipe. Let me see more of you diy sharon in Jamaica
Exactly
Thanks!
also had to make my own black out curtains easy to make i bought the black out cloth in amazon then the ring ro thy just snap on you only need a sewing machine fold over the cloth i did a double fold of 7 in the top and a double-fold of one in the bottom sew it together the reason why i needed to do that was because i needed i extra wide curtain
Fantastic 👌👌👌
This is genius👍👍
loved it
Thank you for this!!
Excellent
I like your video. Thanks for sharing your ideas and journeys at walmart etc in search of the products. I forgot to check with walmart for the parts i need for my project. I am wondering how it would look to paint the silver pipe brackets with same color paint as you painted the pvc curtain rod. Also I just thought those curtain rods could make for interesting secret hiding place for some valuable, being that they are hollow inside..
Have you noticed any wearing away of the paint from the metal grommets on the painted PVC?
Fantastic video thanks
I think you should have painted the hooks that's holding the rod up make it a more finished look, but what a great job looks fabulous
You can also put ends and probably add some plastic door nobs
Thank you ladies!
Awesome👍
You have morw pictures
Wow, I was at Home Depot this morning and thought of the same concept. I have the same shaped window and have been using a track curtain rod - I just bent it into shape. It worked :) but didn't look good. Whose room was the first completed room you showed?
Jasmin Jenkins it was my inspiration of off Pinterest, I should’ve tagged the owner or linked the Pinterest page, but didn’t think to back then and now I don’t remember 😔
THANK YOU!
Thanks everyone!
Hi I really enjoyed your video and your project came out so good.... I just wanted to know how many cans of spray paint did u need to coat the pic pipes and elbows, and also how many curtains did u need to complete the look ... awesome job btw
I used 2 cans, and it ended up being 10 panels (6 sheer white & 4 of the patterned beige) 😊
Oh ok...Was it heavy once u put them up like was it gradually weighting it down or is it sturdy
+mz. pril it was sturdy because I used the metal brackets as well plus my curtains were sheer so they were very light
Oh ok that's a smart idea thanks so much for replying and providing this video I can't wait to try this out lol
This is awesome! One question, How did you cut the PVC pipe to the length? Did you buy a cutter?
No I measured the lengths that I needed before I went to the hardware store and had an employee cut it after I purchased it, no cutting for me 😊
Good job very pretty
I used wrapping paper poles for mine turned out okay
What’s the inches on the pipe ?
Thanks
Windows with sheets is so me!! That's what I did for a few weeks when I first moved to my apt LOL I did not know people did that!
I am surprised that you did not use drop cloth for the curtains.
Kathy809RD lol I did do drop cloths in another room 😂
very nice thanks for sharing .. I also wanna do something like this for my windows in my bedroom
Madame Lytemakeupp
That would look nice. I'm sure you can find some beautiful finials for the ends, if they show!!!
GREAT IDEA!!! Where did u get the brackets that held the PVC pipe
Pretty
How did it hold up, did the paint chip off?
It did chip a little where I put the stainless steel EMT but other than that it still looks great!
+Derek Peterson If you clear coat it after it dries, you'll have a lot less chipping, or none at all.
I love the concept , I’m going to have to look into doing this. Is it me or are your curtains not hung correctly? The bulge should come out the front, not the back.
You can get pvc in black, too. That would eliminate the painting step.
Yeah but maybe she is using pvc poles she already had
Wow
Brilliant idea! There is no way you could have found ready-made curtain rods to wrap around those corners. It looks so nice!
Question: I see that you have wooden brackets at 2:34 - those are exactly what i need to do this project. What are those called please?
good idea have a cat who keeps ruining the aluminum rods that get bent very easily.
The brackets not being painted is messing with my OCD
DMC8727 Same, lol
DMC8727
I'm literally OCD, it doesn't bother me!!!
@@yliberal6355 Not everyone has the same O.C.D.
and cost was?? I estimated 35 bucks . I can purchase ready made for 40. but the fun is in DOING. RiGHT ??
couldn't hear
Smart generation this try
Do not lost money
