I used my favorite rods...BAMBOO!
The bay windows were a little tricky trying to find some brackets that would work...our solution was found in the plumbing department. We bought these plastic brackets and painted them to match the wall color...not perfect, but they work!
I'm linking up to these PARTIES!

I love them! So bright and cheerful!
I went a little crazy too buying plants for a new flowerbed that I want. Hubby talked to a neighbor and we will be borrowing his tiller. I'm so excited! Enjoy your day.♥
Ooh...I like a lot! Be blessed. Cindy
Bright and cheery. Looks great. Love the chocolate walls. Hugs, Marty
Linda those are my colors, I love the print, and it is perfect for Spring and Summer! Nice job!~
Pretty! New curtains are like new dresses-they really spiff up the house. I just got a new sewing machine and can now make a batch of curtains for myself. Happy Spring! Sherry
I love the fabric you used. It looks really good!
Love these and the bamboo is just too kewl!!
You really have a knack for using alternate items and making them so chic!!
Love the floral print and of course the burlap!!
And the chocolate walls..what is the paint color and brand?? My oldest daughter would love this color!
Enjoy the sunshine!
Blessings!
Love them. I have been really lovin fabrics with orange in them!
I'm loving that fabric, it has many of my colors in it. I've been planting flowers this week too. As a matter of fact, they are calling me now. It's beautiful outside right now, I better get outside before the rain moves in.
That's a very bright and cheery fabric!
Have fun planting, I'm envious, I picked up my potting soil yesterday but it's still too cold in our neck of the woods!

So funny! I just posted my new curtains too! I however, took the lazy approach. That's a great brown on the walls, and I like the bold print! Says Spring, Fun!
Love it!!! They just "pop" against your wall color!!! Beautiful job!

i love that print! so fun. great work!
Ooh, what a vibrant pattern! Where can I find bamboo rods like those? That is such a neat idea!
Your fabric is really fun -- I like it! That's a bummer about not being able to get anymore of your fabric to add to the long panels. I would buy fun trims in two or three of the colors, maybe one of the trims could be a pom-pom fringe, and sew them to the leading edge of the long panels. That would tie it together, and keep the eye moving. That was a great solution for your brackets (it's going into my bag of tricks). What I usually advise for my clients is a hinged bracket with two female ends. The hinge allows any angle to be accommodated. The rods would be cut to size at installation so that it's perfect. You can order these brackets through any designer that sells draperies.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today Linda:-)

They turned out great Linda! And they look jut perfect with the wall color!
Cute, love the colors.
Linda, what a wonderful project. I really LOVE your fabric choice. I also love the bamboo rods and the creativity you used in figuring out how to hang them. I also really like the side panels in the bottom two pictures. Very nice touches. Thank you for sharing on the boardwalk Bragfest!
Linda I love that fabric. So cheery! You did a great job with the curtains and I think what you used to put them up is just right. Who would know that they were not made for that purpose. I would not have.
You are the crafty one!! Love that fabric, it is so fun with great colors. I also love how you improvised with the brackets....very smart!

Really cute curtains. Isn't it always better when it's handmade with your heart thrown into it.
Hugs...Tracy :)
I love the vibrant fabric! Good luck with your planting! I have been going with realistic fakes because I would rather be painting! If you get a chance check out my blog at http://shabbychictreasures.blogspot.com/ I am giving away a darling teapot for the month of April! Hugs, Olivia

Amazing design! I am a big fan of kitchen curtains too since they can improve the design of the interior of the house. I usually shop from http://curtainchannel.com/kitchen-curtains.html so it would be great if you could do a review of their curtains too
I love that fabric! How bright and cheery. It is inspiring me to make bolder choices with my fabric. It seems like I always tend to go safe, but look what you get when you don't. Thank you for coming by and joining the party.
How fun, these are super cute! Thanks for linking up at Sundae scoop! I'd love to see ya again this Sat!
