Linen Cotton Curtain - White Steal This Look: Simple Scandi Children's Room 5 Favorites: Belgian Linen CurtainsIf you live in a small space in a major city, there’s a good chance you rent. As such, optimizing your space can seem like a questionable proposition: You want to make your space your own and livable, but you don’t want to spend a ton of money on improvements that will be scrapped when you move. Isabelle LaRue of Engineer Your Space has you covered, providing DIY solutions for cost-and-design-conscious small space dwellers. As the name implies, LaRue is an engineer–a building engineer to be precise. Like most great ideas, EYS was born out of creative solutions for dealing with limited resources. When she moved to New York City, she traded a spacious two bedroom apartment for a 450 sq ft rental studio. She brought her engineering expertise to bear in making the little space functional, stylish and personal on a budget befitting rental renovations. She calls her approach, “MacGyver meets Martha [Stewart].”

Most of her projects require basic to moderate carpentry skills and understanding. One of our favorites is a room divider using the IKEA Kvartal Track System; it’s a bit more involved than many of her projects, but creating room division in a small space is a pretty critical function (we assure you the $252 spent to make it was far less expensive than the one in the LifeEdited Apartment). LaRue features a number of other videos on decorating, lighting and tiling; curtains multyfarnhamshe includes materials and costs for completing the projects on her site. gardenia rod pocket window curtain panelsShe also has some quick tip projects like this magnetic spice rack made from a pizza pan.acoustic curtains gearslutz

While installing a built-in moving wall might be the best way to optimize your small apartment, most of us don’t have $20K sitting around to make that happen. For those of us willing to measure twice, cut once, Engineer Your Space is a great resource for renters and owners alike who want to milk every bit of utility from our small space without spending a lot of money.A cheap and easy alternative to the boring old shower rod and curtain.dunelm duck egg blackout curtainsRather than the typical, enclosed on three sides type of surround that is common with a tub/shower combo, our world famous (or not) NYT-featured guest bathroom has a tub/shower set up that is open on two sides. I haven't shown you much of it in the past because I still haven't decided what to do with the tub base which means that yes, it's unfinished, but hey, progress has been made. And the shower has technically been usable since we moved in, with the exception of not having a shower curtain, that is, so the impending arrival of a recent weekend houseguest (our first!) forced me to get going and get it together in the curtain-ing department.

The room has ~9'+ ceilings so between that and the open on two sides thing, I needed to get a little creative. Sure, there are 90 degree bend curtain rods out there, but they're ugly and cumbersome and..Plus then I'd need "special, extra long shower curtains that still wouldn't be long enough and can't just be bought on a whim at Target (where I noticed you can now get PVC free liners!).Not liking those options led me to investigating hospital cubicle curtain track systems and I had sort of decided that's what I wanted, but every time I sat down to get serious about buying the stuff, it seemed like it was going to be either too expensive or too ugly or too complicated when it should be simple...because it's just a shower curtain, not some OSHA approved industrial strength kind haz-mat, antibacterial kind of thing.On the other hand, IKEA's awesome KVARTAL drapery hanging system has parts that allow a 90 degree bend and a ceiling mount application just like a hospital curtain track plus it's a nice, sleek look and I could go and buy it at the store instead of having to order and wait.

So, a couple of hunks of the straight rail, one 90 degree elbow and some of the ceiling mounts that go with it all, and I was almost there.Like any work that involves arms-above-head for extended periods of time, getting the track mounted on the ceiling was a bit of a pain and required two people, but it's a very simple system and a fairly straightforward, according-to-the-directions install. Just remember to feed the proper number of the little plastic glide thingies (see below) onto the track before you attach it to the mounts. (FYI, a regular shower curtain has 12 holes)Then, on to actually hanging something from the newly installed track (while I let my arms rest).The KVARTAL system offers a few different options for attaching the drapery depending on what type of panel you are using. In my case, I bought a package of these pictured belowand used both the glides and the hooks as IKEA calls them.And from the hardware store, some bead chain and end thingies:I was originally thinking I was going to order the chain online, in bulk, but I was pleasantly surprised to find my hardware store carries bead chain and a large variety of styles of ends in several different sizes.

A little more money, but I could buy just as much as I needed. They keep it by the key stuff. Your mileage may vary. Anyway, I got the largest gauge bead chain they had (this is totally an aesthetic choice as I'm sure even the finest gauge would be plenty strong) and enough of the eyelet shaped end pieces to use two per strand. The bead chain is easy to cut with a wire cutters, and the ends just snap right on and off.When I got home, I cut my 36 feet of bead chain into appropriately sized, even lengths and snapped on the ends. Then one eyelet on each strand got a clip from the package of KVARTAL glide/clips. These end up just snapping right onto the glides you already installed in the track:ignore the photo and leave the other end eyelet-free until you can loop it through the holes in the shower curtain. Then feed the end through the hole in the eyelet and attach it so that you've created a loop with the chain through the curtain hole:Repeat. In my case, repeat 18 times, using one and a half shower curtains and liners:and be sure and keep the other half of the cute, heavyweight stripey cotton shower curtain to make something else.
