Extend Your Home Outdoors

Curtain Off

The Big Idea: Use the wide variety of weather-resistant fabrics available today to create outdoor curtains. This cottage looks chic with simple linen curtains framing the porch. Even a tiny garden shed can benefit from a decorative flair, like curtains.

Notice the Details: Curtain rods and rings need not be made of special materials when used outside. Galvanized steel pipes from a hardware store work great and mount easily to a wall or ceiling.
