Rehanging A Curtain Rod

5 Comments

Some months back, I had to ‘rehang’ this curtain rod.

I really like the curtain rod rings – especially for applications where you might be opening and shutting the curtains oftens. They just glide so nicely by hand without all the challenges of installing traverse rods.
