Last week, I went to Ikea about 3 times. Twice was because I needed to find the gift for my girls. And the other time was just to release some stress.
I saw they were selling a plain and simple curtain rod for only $6.60. Then I straight away thought of changing the current one which I have used it since I got this apartment till now.The railing was ok but the hooks that I used to hang the curtains become rusty easily.So far, as I've remembered, I've changed the hooks 3 times. That was when I immediately decided that's enough- I have to change it to the 'rod' style. I bought two which each of it is fit for a 2 panel window.
Came back home and got excited to put it up.So, I took out my existing curtains and later its railings.I did it.
Upon trying to measure and put up the new one, then I noticed. Shoot! This 2 new rods are now longer than the one I just took out. Addition to that, I had to put up addition holes and the rod 'holder'. Arghhh! Well, a girl got to do what a girl got to do. I borrowed a friend's beloved drill set.

I think not only I borrowed the dril but the whole tool set from his house. When I reached home and opened the box - reality sets in. Earlier, I was excited to do this and now I'm scared.What if I can't drill the additional holes? How to put up the additional holder? Does it look ok if the rod fits for 4 panel when my window has only 3?
My current railings are already on the floor and I've bought the new ones. Got to do this on my own. Can't anybody's help as my house is out bound for anybody from the opposite sex to enter. I got to use the drills on my own now.Think Spena...think.

need to do some measurement and adjustment. hmmmm the curtains will be wider than the windows. but it'll be fine i guess. drilling, me never tried on my own though. but anyhow gud lak sis!!
i will not even attempt to borrow someone's tool set. but you know me lah... tools and me... we don't jive. I'm just a little girl underneath... (so tak boleh la nak claim to be independent, kan?)
~Tis§ot~ I know. I thought I did it well.Until I put up the rods then I saw it was a bit senget. That's when an additional hole was needed.Hehehe..
all jazzed up- Meen, bila kau tulis, you will not even attempt to borrow someone's tool box - sh1t! It came across my mind.Yeah, I think I shouldn't too, but I did. I put everything back in place...
