My basement patio is one of my favorite places to sit and listen to the birds sing. The patio is much cooler than the deck above it, especially in the morning and early afternoon. I've been wanting to add a drop cloth curtain just to give a little more privacy between the neighbors on our north side, especially when I go outside and sit when I'm still in my pj's .
C'mon, I know y'all do the same thing!
The only thing I had to purchase for this project was a 6' x 9' drop cloth, which was less than $12. I had everything else... a dowel, bronze spray paint, clip on curtain rings and jute twine. After spray painting the clips (they were black) and the rod, Mr. Fanatic attached the rod to the underside of the deck with a u shaped nail.
Then, he folded over the drop cloth so it wouldn't drag on the ground
I braided some of the twine for a tie back. Mr. F. attached a hook to the brick.
Drop cloth curtains have got to be the easiest project there is! There isn't any sewing because the edges are already sewn. I "made" drop cloth curtains for my youngest daughter's room and they look great!
Here's a bigger peek of my basement patio.

Great space! I love the cushion on your bench.
ReplyDeleteThe drop cloth drape really adds some softness to the space. Yes, I go out in my jammies, too on our deck since it is private.
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge difference that made! I love the colors and outdoor decor. Simple but a big impact.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to hide from the neighbors! I am thinking of dropcloth curtains for the sunroom. I think it would be so fun to sleep out there!
ReplyDeleteYou area is so sweet!
I love it! I guess I don't understand what a drop cloth curtain is? Is it just the fabric you use? I love how it makes the space more intimate! I like the affect and yes I do go out in the morning with my p.j.'s on and enjoy the birds while having my coffee!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cool place to hide. I love those colors and I have used some of them. Ginger :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful porch!A lovely intimate place. Loved those drop cloth curtains!
ReplyDeleteHope to see you on my blog:)
Wow I so wish I had something like that but living in town in an apartment complex for now just dont get it. I sit in my jammies and if they dont like it they dont have to look!! LOL But oh how I would love a lil space like yours
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'll try again, blogger is driving me nuts on this post. I tried yesterday to see this one now it's giving me service errors on comments. If you get the other one please delete this one. I love this look! With the twine and hanging light it is beautiful! You do such a good job with simple elegance, Pam. I cannot wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteLove it, I'd never get out of my jammies if I had a private little space like that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cozy change you made. I would love to have a way to add drop cloth curtains to my patio but I have nothing up high to hang them on. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteYour patio does look inviting. Another great idea for a drop cloth.
