They are called shower curtain rods, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use them for other types of curtains. Dressing your windows with your own choice of curtains could really help you feel like you have control of at least one thing in this chaos you call life.
Simply hang a shower curtain rod at the top of the inside frame of your windows and hang whatever fabric you like on it. Congrats. You’re a designer now.
Hide That Mess
No person is ever as neat as they presume to be. Even Monica from "Friends" had a closet for her mess, and if Monica could have a messy closet, you can have all the messy corners you like as long as you know how to hide them well enough. You know, just like you did with emotions when you were in middle school.
The way to do it would be to create little hiding spots using a tension rod and pieces of fabric you drape over it to create improvised curtains. Do it under your washing machine, your bed, or your coffee table.
Purse Organizer
Personally, we believe having more than one purse is asking for trouble because you always lose or forget things when you move your things from one bag to another. But if you enjoy throwing caution to the wind and push your luck that way, you might want to know what would be the best way to keep all of your purses in order.
Mount a tension rod anywhere you like in your closet and hang all your purses on it. But don't come crying to us when you can't remember where you put your sunglasses.
Think Outside the Box
Using a shower curtain rod in your shower is hardly a novelty, but putting one in there vertically? Now THAT will show your homeroom teacher that you did, in fact, amount to something in your life.
If you are a little handier around power tools, you can even drill in some racks for your shower items. Look at you being all fancy!
Put Your Family on Display
What if we told you there is a way to hang pictures on your walls without using a hammer, nails, or looking pathetic for not knowing how to use them? Wouldn't that be nice? With your trusty curtain rod, you can do just that, save the world, and save your dignity (except for the saving the world part).
Mount the rod on a blank wall of your choice, and use hooks and some thread to put up pictures of your favorite people. By the way, those favorite people can also be just you and your dog.
