New Curtains for the Trailmanor and some other work completed on it

[countrygirl]

We were really tired of the Curtains and window dressing in our TM. We wanted a change...I thought about it...did some research...and people are hanging large curtain rods in homes the 3M products. I found various ideas by googling around. Lots of people hang sheers that puddle on the floor with decorative 3M hooks. The type of hook you would hang a bathrobe or towel on ...and some even larger than that. I decided to try a smaller hook because I only want to hang something from a Cape Cod type rod. I found something I liked on sale at J.C. Penneys. When I ordered they were out of stock. I found then again at Swag Galore...and they were less than half the cost of the same ones at Penneys.

I ordered the curtains and rods and they arrived. I basically bought the hooks at Home Depot in multi packs. There is a flat tab that sticks to the camper inside wall. The hook slides over the tab when you wish to hang the curtain. It took less than 5 minutes to take down the curtains and lay then on the sofa. I then slide off the hook and stored all the hooks in a gallon zip lock. The flat clear tab part is about a sixteenth of an inch thick. It does not affect closing the TM at all. I also clipped new sprint type closepins on the ends of the rods so the curtains don't slip off. BTW the curtains have a Sun Zero fabric on the back side in a pale gray. It looks nice from outside and you can not see into the camper through the curtains. The curtains are light filtering. I did hang 36 inch length in the living room area and might decise to shorten them at some point. They look nice...but after I was finished I decided I like the 25 inch ones in the bed area and next to the stove the best. If I do trim/hem them I will use the access for tiebacks. We don't like the curtains closed all of the time. We also removed and recycled all the plastic tracks from the orignal curtains. We replace the crews we removed for now. Looks ok with the screws there...may do something else eventually. Some of the original curtains took a beating from the flat tire...they were not worth giving away.
I will post some photos as soon as I find the link to do so.
