Monday - the beginning of a new week and fresh new repurposing ideas.

Today we're going to take a look at some very
clever window treatment repurposing ideas.


How cute is this whisk broom collection as a window treatment?
Very cute!



For a charming cottage look consider spray
painting a tree branch and using it as a rod:


Vintage tablecloth with Pom Pom fringe repurposed as window shade
Vintage tablecloths make excellent 
window treatment material.



LOVE this idea of using
an oar for a curtain rod:


Hide a curtain rod behind a vintage yard stick:


Here's another darling idea using vintage yard
sticks and a collection of ironstone pitchers:








Okay, this is rather different. Instead of hanging
a curtain from a rod, hang a drop cloth from a
vintage coat hanger that's hanging from the
window casement.

The next time you're looking for unusual tie-backs visit
the hardware store.  You'll be surprised at the neat stuff you
can repurpose into window treatment material.



Reclaimed wood and hooks are a clever alternative
to traditional shower or window curtain rods:

Definitely not your usual window
treatment but it's darling:

Painted decorative shelf brackets . . . . . . .


The Steampunk Home
. . . . . . are a charming alternative to a fabric valance.

In a teen's bedroom how about using t-shirts as a valance?


Inexpensive plastic landscape edging
makes a visually interesting valance:
Home Road
This idea also allows you to display
memorabilia and treasured trinkets.



Vintage wrought iron plant hangers were grouped
to make this charming window treatment:
The Elegant Chateau




This unusual idea is so European:

Remodelista
Using inexpensive linen fabric make a 'shell' of a dress
to use as a window treatment.  Heck, make several.


Well, there you have it - a repurposeful Monday
with charming and unique window treatment ideas.

See you tomorrow for the Miss Money Pitt Tuesday update!
