As I was sitting at the dining room table this evening, the rod over the bay window in the living room caught my eye. I stopped talking mid-sentence as my wheels starting turning . . . yes, I could saw off a couple of feet, paint it white, and VOILA! I have a ball rod set that will be PERFECT!
Now, you may be asking what I’ll do about the window treatment for the bay window. Well, I’m embarrassed to say that the rod is empty and has been for the two four six years that we’ve been living here! I knew I didn’t want to hang a curtain there, but I didn’t know what I’d do with the rod and accessories if I took it down. Plus, it’s been great to tape party streamers to, hang kids artwork from, etc.. Besides, I figured I’d deal with it when I painted the room. Here we are six years later . . . . that’s another story.
So that’s when I had another great idea. I decided to blog about a frugal idea (not the curtain rod, something else entirely) and thought about starting a “Frugal Friday” meme! Google led me straight to HER site which popped my balloon completely! She has some great posts and quite a following for Frugal Friday. . . so if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!
So what is my other frugal idea (in case you don’t have an empty drapery rod mocking you each time you pass by)? You’ll have to come back Friday to find out :) I’m such a tease!
