With the right tools and some planning, you can hang new curtains to freshen up your home's decor.

Tools & Materials

Tools

• Hammer
• Ladder
• Level (at least 2 feet long)
• Power Drill
• Safety Glasses
• Screwdriver
• Stud Finder
• Tape Measure

Materials

• Curtains
• Curtain Hardware
• Curtain Rod
• Drywall Anchors

Product costs, availability and item numbers may vary online or by market.

Before you buy your curtains, snap a photo of your windows. Measure the width at the top, center and bottom of the window frame. Make a sketch marking the largest measurement. Also mark nearby vents, light switches and electrical outlets so that you don't cover them.
Curtains
The size of your curtains makes a difference in the room's decor:

• 63-inch curtains usually sit at or just below the sill.
• 84-inch curtains sit at or just above the floor.
• 95-inch curtains can be pooled on the floor for a more dramatic appearance.

You may need longer curtains if you're mounting the rod near the ceiling. For width, both curtains combined should be at least twice the width of the window and trim.
Rods
Along with curtain size, the rod size and placement can make a difference too. Rods that extend 2-3 inches beyond the frame give a traditional look allowing the curtains to partially cover the window when open. Extending the rod 10-15 inches beyond the trim reveals the entire window, making it look wider.

Hang the rod 6 inches above the window frame for a standard look. Or use extra-long curtains and hang the rod near the ceiling to make the room appear taller. When you're figuring out the curtain and rod placement, remember to account for how the curtain hangs on the rod (hooks, rings, tabs, grommets or pockets). If you're layering curtains, keep in mind that double-rod brackets might extend farther from the wall.

Finials
Check the package as to whether the finials are included in the total rod length.

Good to Know

As soon as you get home, remove curtains from the package and lay them across a bed to allow creases to relax. If necessary, press them smooth with a warm iron or steamer (depending on the fabric) before hanging.

Transform everyday vessels into elegant vases by coating their interiors with glass enamel. 

Any container will do -- buy up old bottles at a flea market or try kitchen cast-offs, such as jam jars. We used white enamel, which yielded different shades of green depending on the tint of the glass.

STEPS

1. STEP 1

   Wash the bottle inside and out with soapy water; let dry.

2. STEP 2

   Pour in a small amount of the paint's surface conditioner, which primes the glass for the enamel.

3. STEP 3

   Swirl to coat fully, then pour out excess. Stand bottle upright, and dry for an hour.

4. STEP 4

   Pour in enough enamel to easily coat the inside. Swirl, and return excess to container for reuse.

5. STEP 5

   Dry bottle upside down on a paper towel for 48 hours, periodically wiping excess enamel from the rim with a damp cloth during the first hour.
