We just got the black curtains with the pink peonies from IKEA for our sunroom. I remembered watching this video and handed the hooks and the curtains to my husband and wished him well. He has patience like yours, and I so appreciate people like you and my husband. I'm stressed from the other room. lol

We just put 2 prongs and spaced it evenly. Glad you have the patience for this.😉

It makes me smile to see some of the styles coming back that we had when I was young. I didn’t think I would ever hear the word pleater hooks again! But, there it is. Love the curtains!

I am going to do this! So pretty! I would mark the spots for the hooks so that it would be easier to rehook them after washing🙂

Oh my, I bought the Rivta curtains for my living room. I am in love with them!! They are so high-end looking at such a reasonable price. I admired your curtains a while back and I am so thankful you posted where they were purchased. Now, I need a pair for my bedroom!

So glad I finally decided to search on YouTube because I've been trying to find the perfect pinch pleated curtains but could not find the ones I wanted at a reasonable price. I've scrolled by a few ppl advertising DIY and I'm a DIY Diva but have sooo many projects going on that I wanted the easy way out. However, since it looks simple enough, I'm going to try it. Thanks so much for sharing 👌🏾

Dang now I have to redo my curtains. This the never ending project for my large window.

I love the curtains. We used to make pinched pleated curtains in the 70’s, but we didn’t use the round curtain hook at the top of your curtain. Very clever. One thing I always did was take each pleat and fold it perfectly, , lay it down on the ironing board, cover it with a cloth and steam the pleat for sharp creases. What is old is new again. I have never seen that pinch pleat tape for the back of the curtain, as ours was a different type. Thank you for sharing.

Great idea! And if you buy plain linen covered buttons just sew them in the middle of each pleat to make them even more high-end!

I'm so glad I came across your channel. You saved me over $1500 on custom drapes. These curtains transformed my open living and dining room.

Many years ago I went to my deliberately last Tupperware party. The seller was telling me how I could put tuna in this tub and cake in that tub, etc. Not exactly rocket science. I'm so happy to see instructional videos from curtains to cupboard replacements especially by women. Thanks.

Oh my gosh! I have always wondered about these curtains after hearing about them, but never had the time. Thank you, thank you for sharing this. I now know what I am doing for my new place. Again thank you Lisa!!! Really loving your living room. Can't wait to see what color you chose for the walls or the finished result.

[The-Ancestral-Cucina]

Lisa, love the look of pleats. Especially adore the antique brass rods and rings. Thank you for sharing.

Good morning,
I really enjoyed watching your video today. Always such great ideas. I am a new fan from florida and I love your channel

I really love Ikea hacks, there are so many options even with furniture!

[katherinelavoie]

Those curtains with the rods really suit the room much better. Looks regal. I grew up in an old house with the tall ceilings, thanks for the great idea regarding these Ikea curtains.

Just got the Ritva curtains and they’re definitely a loss leader like the bananas at Trader. I think they look fantastic. I actually found NoNo brackets so I could use them to cover vertical blinds in my apartment without putting any holes in the wall and it was so much easier than leveling an actual curtain rod

[maryquintieri]

Really good video and I watched tons on this curtain stuff. Thanks for showing the other option as well! Congrats on your home

[anonymousunknown]

The rod color & placement to show the trim is so well done! Beautiful curtain choice!
