Plantation shutters are awesome!

@@littleimprovements Husband a good thing too, but I learned to pick the battles...I really wanted shutters! Happy Saturday from the very hot and humid Treasure Coast of Florida . ...

You are exactly right! I consider my wife the “designer” of the home, “honey can we hang this mirror here” .. “uhhh, any way we could push it a few inches to the left?!”

@@littleimprovementslol 😂

Homes in the United States are that cheaply built?

@@jason854656 Drywall walls, drywall is terrible, but I guess yes, cheaper than concrete.

@@jason854656 It's no secret.

Thank you for the kind words Rae! If you have an idea for a project, let us know! I’m sure we can make it happen! Happy New Year

Same - I was thinking of getting a stud finder

Unless you’ve got toddlers who like to swing like Tarzan on the curtains they should be fine in drywall!

Thanks Paul!!

Lol yeah once I hit 50 am always concern about falling....so if you can, exercise,get yourself strong and that helps

If you’re going into studs, possibly try some longer screws. You can always try and put a screw into the wall (without bracket - on each side) to see by how secure it is when it goes in, or use a nail, you can also get a stud finder. Best of luck!

They could be too small for the hole... if you did hit a stud you can just take the anchor out and use a drill and screw. You'll know if you hit a stud because it won't keep spinning.

I agree, these are made and sold by IKEA. Thank you for watching!

I appreciate the info!

Hi there. These are purchased at IKEA, not sure if there are IKEA’s in Turkey, but they are a home owner consumer store. Buyers can buy all the parts to install including the sown fabric curtains and either install them themselves or pay someone to do it.

@@littleimprovements I'm sorry, I couldn't ask my question clearly because I wrote it through google translate. Would there be any demand if we wanted to serve as a curtain store in America? I am asking because you are a consumer consumer in America. thanks :)

Or, buy an inexpensive Tapcon screw with matching bit and drill. They're very economical, easy, & secure.

@@timbemann Tapcons are not inexpensive.

If the pole length supports going back 3-6 inches to make sure and reveals the trim/casing I think would do that. In our case we don’t have trim and casing (yet!) so this worked. But I would agree with you being able to reveal the casing would be nice.

Is three inches enough? That's what she said...

I think it would look good spaced out further than 3 inches depending on window size. Also the brackets are covered by the curtain so I think it would be totally fine spacing them out more to not hit a metal stud. What kind of building is this? I can’t imagine it’s a wood framed residential home

Use metal screws onto the metal beams

Stud makes best sense! Depends on where the stud framing is in your house. If that’s what is of most interest, find the studs first and work with those locations. Thanks for watching!

it’s a window curtain

Thank you Green! Wife said both the curtains and curtain rods are both from IKEA. Looking for exact curtains, check back soon I’ll try and link them here. Thanks again for watching!!

Called Ritva from IKEA! www.ikea.com/us/en/p/ritva-curtains-with-tie-backs-1-pair-white-40111992/

Thank you soooo much

Knella, I can’t remember if I did or not actually, now that I think of it I’m not sure that I did! Great consideration though. For me, it worked out well but the bottom of my curtains ended up behind a couch so the night wasn’t too worrisome for me. Thanks for the comment!

A stud detector would be nice but as I show in this video if you have drywall anchors available and ready when you don’t hit a stud with your pilot hole you can adjust abs drill for a drywall anchor

Eddie, you are correct in regards to a ceiling that can be off. In my experience, the bar might show as lop sided in relation to the ceiling if not measured from the ceiling. Micro adjustments can always be made. Best to you!

I made that mistake measured off the ceiling. I'm ¼" off & everyone could notice. Weird that so many people could see ¼" variance over a 60" span.

It's easiest to pick them out by weight rating. Look for the 65# or 75# ( depending on your market). Get the plastic, Not the metal! Believe it or not, the plastic anchors are Much stronger. Always drill a pilot hole first, there may be framing behind the drywall.

Hey there, these are both made by “Johnson” , both cheaper Orange plastic but have been great for me for the investment! I think can get both at Lowe’s

@@littleimprovements Aweosme. Thank you so much for the info!

Hi Gabriella, are those measurements the width of the length of the drywall anchor? Usually I pick a drill bit about half as thick as the drywall anchor, start there and if the anchor won’t go in go a little bigger. The other thing is too if you hit a stud with your drill bit you don’t want to drill such a big whole that your screw won’t go into that whole too so maybe start small (thin).

Wife says Curtains are called Ritva from IKEA! www.ikea.com/us/en/p/ritva-curtains-with-tie-backs-1-pair-white-40111992/

IKEA!

No, these are just plastic drywall anchors.

I have really bad eye sight, also hearing impair impaired. Thank you for replying back to me. I use my phone camara To see my tv. I did not use it yesterday.

Hi Lisa, are you saying you are having a tough time putting a screw into the anchor or that it’s difficult to screw in a screw in anchor

@@littleimprovements it’s difficult to screw an anchor in the hole because it is plastic and there are many types, but depending on its shape, like spiral ones are impossible to fit in the hole, I think.

@@littleimprovements I am having tough times putting a plastic anchor for the screw to anchor beforehand, because it is plastic and easy to be bent or expanded while I put the plastic anchor into the hole hammering it in. Plus, I don't think anyone can just drill the right size hole for the plastic anchor. If so, the hole would be most likely big, the plastic anchor can't fit in snuggly, loosen out instead. It really requires a certain type of technique skill which means it's quite precise. But it depends on the shape of the plastic anchor. The wide or bigger spiral ones are difficult to fit in. Another problem is above the window frame about 3inches high, I always drill into the a hard piece that is most likely a stud, I guess. On top of that, the stud detector about $36, I purchased from ACE is pretty good, but it isn't correct. Some people say the cheaper ones are more sensitive. Do you have any good recommendations?

Keith, I can’t wait to watch your video! I would love to see clean curtains and quality narration by a pro! Please send a link so I can’t see because I am interested. Thanks - Brian

That's pretty darn easy. I'm a professional installer & I use this method fairly often.

Command hooks and a bed sheet?

Well go on and tell us! We all know we came here for the most simplistic solution…
