Front Room (Almost Done): Window Coverings

Thursday, February 26, 2026 0:01

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The to-do list for finishing the front room is getting shorter and shorter. After the walls were painted and the window trims done, it was time for curtains. For this, I wanted to use two quilt-look bedspreads. I had them on the windows previously, but discovered that, being one piece, they are a bit inconvenient when it came to opening them for light. That was because standard curtain rods have a center support bracket, so I could only push the two edges of the quilt to the center. That just didn’t work well for me.

Dan suggested “the kind that open with a pulley cord.” I remembered my mother had those when I was a kid with pinch pleat draperies, but I couldn’t remember what they were called. A quick search with that description and Brave browser AI told me these are traverse rods. (And that’s noteworthy because it’s the extent of my AI usage. I like Brave AI because it documents its information sources).

Traverse rods are quite updated compared to the ones my mother had. There’s no longer a pull cord, rather the curtains are either opened by hand or with a “wand” (which looks like a mini blind wand). Of the wand models, one can choose left, right, or center draw. Hanging choices are ceiling mount or wall mount. Here’s the link to the ones I bought for a close up view.

We went with the wall mount option to suit the size of the quilts.

I can easily push the quilt to either side to let in the light.

Now it’s very easy to let in plenty of light for weaving.

My next step ought to be putting the furniture back in place, except we ran into an unexpected problem! More on that next time.
