Happy Monday Friends! So, I have this huge window in my family room that has sat without curtains or drapery for about 2 1/2 years because I am SOOO indecisive about what to do with the space. It is a very large window, so for some reason it makes it intimidating.
I finally decided to go with some basic white curtains and add some trim for unexpected detail. I did something similar here with my DIY Greek Key drapes. Now that the curtains are done, I am still undecided as to what type of curtain rod to use. I have been obsessed lately with lucite or acrylic rods such as these.

However, purchasing lucite rods will cost you a small fortune. Even the ones from LuxHoldUps which is an Etsy store are pricey.
Several creative bloggers have come up with DIY versions and I think they look equally as gorgeous.
For a window my size, it would cost upward of $400 to buy a rod. The DIY version is about $150.
What do you think? Do you like the look of lucite? Should I buy or DIY?
Happy Monday lovelies!!
DIY 🙂 You always feel so proud when you walk past them and say, “hey, I made those!”.
It’s so funny, the images in this post and the greek key curtains mirror my pin board…. I’m thinking I need some white curtains with greek key and lucite rods!
Best,
Jessica
That is an excellent point Jessica! It does feel so good to knockoff something for so much less. I am pretty much obsessed with Greek key, lucite and brass right now!
DIY for sure! 🙂 The lucite rods are so very chic!
