In reply to natasha. The end cap is a little loose, yes!

Hi, I absolutely loved your curtain rod idea! I’ve tried making them myself. I purchased a 1/2 inch rod, the 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch reducing coupling and the 3/4 inch end cap. But the 3/4 inch end cap doesn’t “fit” onto the 3/4 inch reducing coupling (they are exactly the same size so one doesn’t “fit” into the other) . Did you use an end cap that was a bit bigger than the 3/4 inch reducing coupling?

Love what you did with the copper!! I am wanting to put up some curtains in my guest room–so am going to do this!! And love your babies–you are such a blessed and wonderful mother!! Have a great week.

In reply to Karen. The curtain panels I have (Ikea) have hidden tabs on the back, so I just used those :)

great idea, how are the curtains attached to the rod?

The industrial trend is so tricky, I love it but it’s hard to incorporate in a family home! I’d love to see how they turn out if you try it :)

PS, your designs are beautiful!

Oh my, I absolutely LOVE this! I’m so into the “industrial” look lately, but I can’t find anything that isn’t too much for me, but this is just right! The curtain rods I have now are held up in the middle with fishing line because the curtains are too heavy. I’m pretty sure that copper piping would hold up way better! Definitely on my list of things to do!

Brilliant idea! I’ve seen some innovative curtain rods (bamboo, etc), but never copper. I love the look, and may have to try it in my own house. Pinning this!
BTW- I co-host a link party on Fridays called Pin Your Friday Favorite, and would be honored to have you link up (tshirtjeans.blogspot.com).
Have a great weekend!

In reply to Leia. Thanks so much Leia! Without the copper it'd definitely a pretty white space!
