My only issue is I think it takes away from the crown moulding, so I make sure that their is at least two inches down from the crown moulding so it does not take away from the beauty of the moulding. Everyone has their own taste but I like meeting in the middle. It still looks better just another thought.nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676972706544899690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-17814967573020128092013-09-07T11:32:05.964-04:002013-09-07T11:32:05.964-04:00Love the difference the placement of the curtain r...Love the difference the placement of the curtain rods make.

I use the term loosely because they are really just shears and only one per window, not one set...just one, lol. I really hate them but I am moving soon and I am going to be brave and make the new ones. Hang'em high is my new motto (Clint Eastwood anyone?).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-84319525230021093982012-10-07T11:46:56.852-04:002012-10-07T11:46:56.852-04:00It does make a huge difference.

Some of them had dry rotted and fell apart the last time I washed them and when I went back to Sears in hopes of finding more, they were clearanced out. I could not find the number I needed so I made do and now I pull them back differently so I could keep the same ones and not have to buy all new. Where there is a will, there is a way. :)<br /><br />By the way...

We have lived in our house for 15 years and I still have all the woodwork to scrape so that the gorgeous cherry under the paint is liberated. But I would rather sew or play with sewing machines. Alas. Wood scraping must wait...<br /><br />Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285943308096103980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-74679716794224747512012-10-06T17:49:47.141-04:002012-10-06T17:49:47.141-04:00I'm an Army wife.

But it always seem like the next house always requires something. We moved this summer and our new house has tall windows. I got out my stash of curtains and rods. I, too, like my rods as high as possible because it make the ceilings seem higher and all just airy-er. I can really tell the difference in your photos, by the way. What I really don't like is "high water pants like drapes, where they are 4-6" too short. I like them to just skim the floor. Anyway, I had a set for the guest room where the height exceeded the hem (I've tried this trick before--it is a good one!) So I found a contrasting fabric and let down the hems and added bands to the bottom. I'm really pleased with how they turned out. I cut them about 18" wide so they became a 8" band at the bottom.

You could also have added a contrast fabric in a band at the bottom, if you had some on hand, that is, since not spending money was your goal :)AnnieOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619125197850685345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-65110815335717531522012-10-06T16:20:45.182-04:002012-10-06T16:20:45.182-04:00The room does look taller!

In our house we went from drapes across the top to cafe rods and sheer half curtains - shows off the woodwork and lets in so much more light - again, small change and HUGE difference that is hard to show in pictures. Glad you found a solution!Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180104163495530405noreply@blogger.com
