Casa Quickie: Use an Oar as a Curtain Road

CasaSugar — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 04:00:00 PDT

The owners of a beach shack on the Isle of Wight in the UK made the most of an old oar by using it as a curtain rod. In most homes, a paddling device used to hold up curtain panels would look out of place to say the least. But here, it's charming and a bit kitschy, and it has the worn-in, well-loved style that every beachside home should have. Have you used any unusual items as a curtain rod in your home?
