I think it's great that you did not edit out the imperfections it allows people to see that that's where a mistake can happen and for them not to do it ....excellent video guys. thanks!
Janet Holmes thanks for watching
I kind of feel the opposite. I want to watch proper methods so I dont make my own mistakes. sorry, not to be negative, but we are really working on being solution orientated
@Donna Tlachac is In a virtual Studio That's great! Showing mistakes and their corrections is exactly solutions oriented: problem presented, solution offered. There are too many DIY videos that cut out so much that the viewer never sees how the project goes from A to B to C. Going straight from A to C without showing their work makes those videos worthless as a teaching tool.
Great video. Love that you left all the "whoops" in. Just a note: There are great spray paints out there specifically for spraying on plastic. You might also remind folks to clean the PVC well. I then do a primer, let it dry for a day, then the final coat of paint. Doing it this way, I have never had a chip or scratch on any project made from PVC. I will always choose the path of proper prep. Saves me down the road.
PERFECTION! Love how real you guys were in sharing the error and post resolution!
it's so great to see the WHOLE project (even the mistakes) because, man, I would have done the exact same thing - and would have been really frustrated. Now I know! Thank you!
Shannon Winters you're welcome thanks for watching
We use the same brackets on our closet. Instead of pvc however, because it's so wobbly, we use metal electrical conduit. It's cheaper than pvc, a ton more rigid, and only slightly heavier. In my office, I'm using emt. In my bedroom, we use a white conduit. From the end, it looks like a flat bell. They both work beautifully.
Such great teamwork and thanks for showing and exclaiming all the steps. Looks so good!
I love that you showed the error so we could learn from you. If you would have edited it out we would be wondering what we did wrong when we tried this!! I love the look, so farmhouse chic!!
Gwen Vann I love it too thanks for watching
Another one I love. And it was good to see the mistakes too. Thanks for not editing them out. Unfortunately, my bay windows are not at a 45 degree angle but still - I've an idea for a bed canopy frame or room divider! Possibilities are endless. Thanks again for sharing.
Nothing wrong with working out the kinks! Love you guys!
I had pulled out my drop cloths last weekend for curtains in our living area. Haha. This video was perfect timing. 🙂
Jamie Baronet we must have known
Doing it today...they so look great. Good job guys
I like that you weren't afraid to show a mistake. The truth of doing it yourself is these things happen! Looks great nice video.
Thank you!
Jami Ray the look is perfect, way to go. Mistakes happen and glad you showed how you address it. Drop Cloth curtains are much more durable and last forget. Thxs for sharing.
Evelyn J. Amponsah thanks for watching!!
I love that you showed the mistakes!! Now, we know!!
I'm glad you showed us the boo boo. Most would have just edited that out & never mentioned it. This way we learn with you. Thanks for sharing & being real. It turned out great. I love how it looks
Thanks!
Glad you left the “oops” in there for us to learn from. It happens a lot to me!
AWESOME VIDEO, VERY DETAILED,, AND BEAUTIFUL RESULTS..... TFS.
I love this!! Great job guys 👍
Good job Iam going to try this on my pergola on my deck.
There is a deck going up right.next.to.my.porch (on top of it almost) sigh. So I was looking on how to make curtains for outside for privacy and up pops your site on how to do that with drop cloths. LOL I love you guys.
that was not easy!
great look jami & zev x
Sweet tutorial! Thanks for the share!
That was so funny. I like that you left the mistake and how to fix it in the video. We're all human, mistakes happen. I have a pile of drop cloths sitting here waiting for me to create my window treatment. I'm stamping a toile design on the "curtains" once they come out of the wash. Then I'll iron them and hang them. I'm using IOD decor stamps for anyone interested.
Tamatha Mavraides we make lots of mistakes 😂
Wow....NOTHING KNIT PICKY about what Zeb did! Ahhhh, he made it actually function and look decent!
Sooooooooo doing this THIS weekend!!! Thank you thank you thank you :D Love you guys!!!
Mikeandsandy Broderick yay thanks for watching!!
Hello! Quick question, did you get around to doing this project? If so, how's the spray paint on the PVC holding up with all of the opening and closing of the curtains? I would appreciate your feedback greatly. Looking for inexpensive window treatments... Thanks! ☺📐🔧🔨
What`s that old saying "measure twice cut once"...LOL...Love how it turned out! Love your vids
I love it thanks for sharing 💗👍🏽
Wow, you guys did a great job!
Lisa Kegerize thank you !!
love these!!💞
I learned a lot from your videos. Good job they look very nice!!
Thank you Fabiola!
I use drop cloth for pillows to I bleach the heck and downey the heck. the softest cloth ever love it
Did you put them in the dryer?
very creative!
🦋I need this video. Saving this one.
Looks awesome !
Gina Diefenbach thanks!!
I like that idea of drop cloth curtains
TUFS
Black PVC pipe is brilliant. Good job. Use black shower hooks then you don't have to thread them from the end.
Thanks for making all the mistakes I would have made. Now I don't have to since I know better. LOL. It looks great.
INSPIRED I AM! Thanks!
Peggy Scott thanks for watching
I love this!
Thanks!
How are the curtains today? Any stretching, fading? Any of the black wear off from the Rings rubbing on them?
Hi Jami, how much bleach to water did you use when you soaked the drop clothes prior to washing them?
Thanks for all the great videos! Have you done a video on the chairs in the foreground here? I’d love to know what colors/paints you used. Thanks!
These chairs are pressed oak and I painted them in Fairy Chalk Mother Starry night with a medium distress.
You can get the paint here if you’re interested.

Thank you for this video. Jami I love your shirt! Was the only purpose of bleaching them to lighten them?
Yup, bleach to get them lighter.
suggestion (?) spray the hardware, (not the round clips), white. so that the round clips are the contrast.
I think i would make the valance longer
Well, you saved me a few screw ups, lol.
Can you guys share the name of the color of the wall please? Thank you
Excellent! We moved into our new place last October big windows in the living nothing own them yet.
These are super nice! 🌟
P.s. soaking in a gallon of bleach and , water?
I usually do about 3 parts water to one part bleach.
What color is the kitchen paint? Love this project! Do you think the paint will rub off with the curtain rings rubbing back and forth? I want to do something like this with metal piping for a closet, to hang clothes.
My dad thinks it might rub off lol. Time will tell. Sadly, I don't know what color the wall is. The house was painted like this when we moved in and we color matched it for repairs.
Jami Ray Vintage thanks for getting back to me! My husband thinks so to...but I just figured he was trying to get out of painting them! 😂
I wonder if you could spray them with polycrylic for extra protection so the paint lasts longer. Looks great! Love your videos!
Do the drop cloths help insulate the wintertime cold from coming through window?
Yeah they seems to do as well as most standard curtains
Measure Twice... Cut Once😎
BTW, I love your sandals💕
Would love to know what color your walls are please.
Hey Zeb and Jami, I know this video is a few years old, but I need to know if u your end caps you put on the pvc pipes had raised embossed printing on them rather than just smooth? I looked at HD tonight and their caps had the company name etc embossed on them...thx
They had ridges but we sanded them smooth before painting them
@@JamiRayVintage Ok! Thx for the reply!
Just make a series called "DIY on the fly" and any "mistakes" are just a part of the process.
I'm genius.
Jacob Vester lol you are
For the drop cloth: Do you double the width of each window to get the ruffly look? Is drop cloth longer and goes from the hooks/rings to the floor?
Drop cloth comes in all sizes, I got 6x8’ fro cloth and folded the excess over until it just touched the floor.
@@JamiRayVintage Sorry to keep bugging you but did you cut it and leave the edges raw? Great solution to keep the length and fold it over for the ruffles! No sewing or cutting is my style lol
How well did the drop cloths bleach? Did they get bright white? I'm struggling hard with it.. 😔
They bleached well. Mine never get all the way white. They just get lighter.
I have that bay wall in my kitchen. All I have is the top curtain to let the sun light in. Can you make any suggestions on my oak cabinets. They are beautifully made oak cabinets but the color is honey gold and I hate it, but I cannot make too much of a drastic change as my fiancé would have a complete meltdown as his dad built the cabinets and he just passed away last year? I want to either lighten them up or darken them up just a tad bit. I like the white wash look.
That's a hard one. Without painting them or sanding them all the way down to the wood and staining them, there isn't an easy way. A light sand and gel stain might work but I would do a test piece first because gel stain can go on pretty thick sometimes.
Gel stain is your best option without painting. You can get a nice finish with it.
Beautiful! Really enjoyed this tutorial. What was the total cost of this project? Thank you! 😃
I put the price break down in the description. Total cost was $100.22
Jami Ray Vintage Oops! I should have looked at the description! Thank you Jami! 😁
Great idea! Has anyone else tried this? Concerned about how well the spray paint on the PVC is going to hold up with all of the opening and closing of the curtains?
The PVC is still up in our house and still doing great. 👍
@@JamiRayVintage Thank you for taking the time to reply! I will definitely try this out then! Window treatments can be so expensive! 😰 I'm a new subscriber and let me just say that I love, love your channel! I an amateur furniture flipper in Texas and came across your channel after looking for tutorials on TH-cam! And I haven't been able to stop watching!!! Thank you for creating such great content! 😊👌👍
Thank you! Also, Drop cloth curtains are my favorite and the PVC is so inexpensive!
Zeb's basic home maintenance tips! Seriously. If I hadn't grown up with a carpenter for a father, I would never know how to do this stuff. Or, like most of my friends, it would never occur to me to do this stuff or that I could do it. Love how thorough both of you are at demystifying this stuff.
On those drop clothes, can you give me more specific info? I don't want to make curtains but I do want to use them for other sewing projects. There are so many to choose from, and ordering online I don't know what to look for. I know I want cotton, but when they say "canvas" I picture something really heavy. Ergh! Can you give me some guidance on what I need? Thank you!
We use the 6x9 drop cloths from Walmart. The hyper tough brand.
@@JamiRayVintage Ah! I remember seeing those. Thanks so much for the quick response.
Are those little hooks really strong enough to hold up the heavy drop clothes? I've wanted to do this project but I am concerned that I would be constantly rehooking. Thanks for all the detail instructions.
So, we've had this style up on different curtains for several months with no issues of them ever falling off. That's with the kids pulling on them and opening and closing them.
Jami Ray Vintage Thanks. If it stands up to five kids and a husband it might just hold up for my household
Ive hung plywood with those little hooks! LOL I did a cute little fake barn, sliding door out on my deck. 😁
I forgot to ask. So many sizes.
What size is best?
There are some that are really big on Amazon.
The size I use is 6x9’
So this video has been about 5 months. I’m wondering if the rustoleum has scratched off.
It has not! We just took them down when we did the kitchen remodel last month and they were looking great. I think the key is to let the rust oleum dry for its recommended cure time (I think the bottle said 24 hours)
Bay window is not easy to fix kurtain i think the beter way is fit the pol on ewery wall seperetly then mark where to cat angle then jojn them Greating from Poland
The problem is that there may not be enough wall space, in the corner, to handle 2 separate rods there. Depends on the amount of space and size of rods, end caps and supports. Turning the corner, as shown in the video is one way of solving that problem. The way to know, for sure, that two independent (separate) rods will work, is to actually hold them up on each wall, with brackets and end caps, to see if they have enough clearance. Some drapery rods have large, decorative, end caps, and ornate brackets.
PS: I have a 3 section bay window that does NOT have enough space between the side windows and the center section.

what color is the paint that you have on your walls? I have been looking for that color, but I can not find the right color anywhere. Thanks.
Nancy Roskos it was here when we moved in. We can take a picture of the match formula and put it in our next vlog for you :).
oh that would be great! Thank you
You use a bottle of bleach, what size? To ratio of water? Do you get bleach spots on your curtains?
Haven’t gotten bleach spots. I use a whole gallon in a washtub in my laundry room. It’s 20 gallons but I also have the drop cloths in there so I’m unsure about the ratio. I’d say you’d be safe with a 1 part bleach to 9 parts water formula.
Jami Ray Vintage thank you
Did the paint scratch off the pipe after time?
It’s been up over 2 years. Haven’t noticed any paint missing.
Why did you wash the clothes in bleach?
♥️♥️♥️
did the curtain rods hold up?
Sure did! Still going strong
@@JamiRayVintage Thank you!
You didn't soak them in straight bleach did you? Love your videos!
1994abbygirl no, I have a big wash sink and I added filled it up until all the drop cloths were submerged and then added the bleach. You could use a tub if you don’t have a big sink. 👍
Thanks!!
That's the way to do it, do everything 3 times.
Lol
You put them in straight bleach or washed them in the washer with a gallon of bleach? That was very unclear.
I don’t have a direct formula. I cover them with water and add a gallon of bleach and stir it up.
Where did you get your sofa from?
The tufted sofa is from Down East Home.
Jami Ray Vintage thank you about the sofa.
I will hot glue mine. Lol
That works! 👍
Ok so you soaked the drop clothes in bleach...how long? In your sink? Washing machine? And then washed them using fabric softener? I am not much of a DIYer...mainly due to lack of time. But I'm trying!
I soaked them in my big washing sink in my washroom. If you don’t have one of those a tub works great. I used a gallon of bleach and then added enough water to completely submerge them and let them sit in that overnight. Then I washed them (I didn’t add more bleach in the washer) and used fabric softener. I also dried them in the drier and made sure to get them out as soon as the cycle was done to avoid wrinkles
Thank you so much. Where is the best place to get them...price wise? I have seen them on Amazon for $12.95/piece...which seems maybe a little high. That's 6x9.
Wow! Great video, just what i was looking for!
