My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Drapery

12 years ago
Are the drapes functional? Do they close and meet in the center? We have the same layout of French doors and I can't figure out how to have functional drapes that close to the center with multiple support brackets on the rod.

    Yes, these are functional drapes. I do not have specific details on the type of rod installed, it was furnished by Susan Marinello Interiors.

    We had the same issue and were able to purchase two extra long curtain rods from pottery barn, then install one support bracket at the center of the doors. Worked like a charm. Also PB sells a double wide curtain too!
