I love the look of long drapes on an outdoor patio. They not only block the hot late afternoon sun, but they look beautiful when there is a gentle breeze. So, I decided to put some up! Of course I did not want to spend the money for curtains and rods and installation that I have seen in the design magazines, so I did it myself. The rods are from overstock.com and they are very good quality, here is the link.
I bought two sets because the span is so long and I wanted good support.
The curtains are from Ikea, I think they were $19 a panel! Then I took extra wooden rings I had laying around and spray painted them black and they work great.
Here are some photos of the finished product with a few garden shots as well!
The curtains separate these spaces and make the covered area look like a room.
The pots look so good with just one statement plant. Very elegant. The chartreuse smoke bush is amazing. I went a little crazy on these, they pair beautifully with the pale pink David Austin rose, Eglantyne.
So pretty!
These three pots have one Hydrangea in them, so simple and beautiful.
My favorite patio to hang out on! Looking gorgeous!
