my free window treatment

wanna know what i hate buying? curtain rods. especially when you have to get one for every window in your house. they just seem like such a complete waste of money to me. curtains are fun to buy but usually way overpriced (in my opinion). for the kitchen window i planned to use some mustard colored burlap i had. i asked grant to find me a big stick. a cool one. he was more than happy to and found the perfect stick (of course). so we drilled some holes, put some hooks in and hung it up. then i tied strips of the burlap to it. so there ya go. a free window treatment! linked up here.

    This is the neatest idea. It looks great-the curves in the stick are so pretty over your window. I love love the twinkle lights too!

    So fabulous! And it look like it could even be done without the hooks. I may be doing this in the future! Thanks.
