An alternative to steaming drapes is to put the drapes in your dryer on low with a clean, damp wash cloth (wet half of the wash cloth and wring out fully) to get the wrinkles out of the drapes.
Never knew the name of those “pins”. I don’t enjoy going to a store and try explaining to a clerk what I’m looking for 👵🏼 So YES, at 73, you taught me !!!!
Excellent tip on hanging curtains! Love that you went blue colored drapes and not white!! Very beautiful and classier with using colored drapes! Definitely looks more expensive!
Lovely video - nice look...I also pronounce "curtain" the way you do (glottalization is pretty common in the eastern U.S., from what I hear) so I had no idea this was such an issue until I saw all the comments 😂! I mean, regional accents are a thing, ya know, and if you're tapping all of your T's all the time, you're doing the most lol.
Your room looks beautiful Marissa! Thanks for sharing this tutorial. So helpful! I might need to do this for my daughter's bedroom depending on measurements. First I gotta get her carpet pulled up, floors down and walls painted, etc.
My daughter is moving into an apartment that has two windows on either side of a corner and start almost at the ceiling. We thought we’d use the IKEA Vidga Ceiling Track to wrap around the corner. Question: can we use Grommet Curtains? If so, what is the best way to attach them to the track glides? Or, should we use the Riktig clips on the regular IKEA panels?
This is great, thanks! But you went a bit fast. Is the top hem of the curtain open a bit to slide in the RikTig? Or did you go between stitches? Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. I'll be at Ikea soon to view all their curtain/window treatment options. I've been searching for the right gray/blue for my living area and having a hard time deciding. I love the color in your bedroom!! What color did you use?
Good question.... I will share in my bedroom reveal in the beginning of May (just cause I don't have it handy right here) LOL sorry I will post it though!
Hi I found your video while trying to figure out how to best hang my IKEA velvet curtains from the vidga ceiling tracks. It was a huge struggle to hem them using the IKEA SY tape. I am thinking I should by the tape you used, but is it safe to wash the curtains with the double sided tape you used??
It’s like you know my life. I just bought some IKEA curtains I’ve been putting off hemming and I bought that stupid iron on instead. Your tape is a lot cheaper. Joann’s charged me per yard for their Velcro.
Such good ideas here.. Please put a "t" in curtains. I work with children's speech on this daily so it was more noticeable to me. A little bit of a distraction.

Wow thats a genius hack! It wouldn't work with my dryer (the fins are broken and wrinkles don't come out) but that is SO smart!

Yay! I didn’t know before either! Lol it’s the little things Xo!

Hahaha I didn’t know it was such a thing until I was eaten alive for it either!
Thank you for being so clear and thorough, the end result is beautiful.
I’m glad you enjoyed! Xo

THANK YOU! The room is coming along! I DIY removed carpet once and my hands were aching for weeks! LOL
Thank you so much for this video. It was the best at explaining how to count the spacing of the Riktig hooks.
i am so happy to see ur video first !!!!! hello from montreal, canada!!!
Heyyyy Canada 🍁 🇨🇦 😘😘
Awesome idea 💡 definitely doing this in my livingroom👍
Share pics on Instagram! Glad to see I helped!
Much needed tutorial!
YAY glad I could help!
How would you get these cleaned when it’s time to do it? How would the double sided tape react to washing the curtains in the washer?
Not wash them? I just dust and steam!
Your vid was right on time so happy I found your channel!
Yayyy!! Xo
Love it Marissa! So good!!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed and it helped xo!!! 😘

I highly doubt it! But also you’re not supposed to wash just steam!
Did you do decor room tour for the room you're filming in this video?
I am doing a full room tour at the end of the year because there is a wall being built in there right now! Can't wait to share it! Xo

TOO FUNNY! Def try my tip it is sooo easy and I am a LAZY DIY'er!
what is the name of the double sided tape again and where did u buy it?
It’s “atack” www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0856246YY/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=barelykeepi0c-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0856246YY&linkId=000293eed109f762cf055fa8c6bea8cb
This is the exact one I used!

LOL sorry it is inherited accent from my mother from CT
@@Barelykeepingittogether I get it. My mom puts "r" s in idea....idears.
I really did enjoy your video & Will continue to watch your channel.
I had to mute my sound...cur-N wore me out.
Yes! No such word as "ker-uns."
Very grating to hear the word mispronounced over and over.
The pronunciation was very distracting to me also, thanks for being kind.
You did a great job but they need lining
Oh I don’t want a black out curtain! Xo
Great method. But ikea curtains are too short for my walls.
You must have very high ceilings
Oh no how high are your ceilings?!
So the reason u used the wire curtain rod was it was the only way to affix them.
I used the wire because it was the easiest way to get the length I needed. There are other options as well.
Really nice.
Whatsoever, i See Many people Using curtins and / or bedware without washing them First. !!!??
Very unhealthy and Not Clean!!!
Thanks for enjoying! Xo!
It is so cute that you don’t pronounce the “t” in curtains!
A lot of people in Connecticut don't pronounce the "t" either. Regional accents are interesting!
LOL I am raised by a mom from CT - it's her fault LOL
The cuteness of mispronounced words ends when one is about 5 years old. After that it isn't cute. Mispronunciation is different from an accent.
😅
those curtains don't work out for those windows.
oops. lost me at cur-an. good lord.
Curt-ens?
I know... sorry it's an accent!
Oh, boy. How can people be so lazy? It would take only a couple of hours with a needle.
CurTain, not cur-in
