Project 1 •
Create a unique window treatment by hanging a pair of classic mini scroll brackets (priced at just $20 each) to flank a window. Insert a dowel rod through the brackets and drape with fabric for a fast and easy window treatment.



Project 2 •
Use a crosshatch square decorative panel made of lightweight urethane (a 27-inch square is priced at $78) to serve as a see-through room divider or “gate” to keep toys, pets and children separated from expensive knick-knacks.



Project 3 •
Add a window crosshead to the wall to serve as a fast and easy shelf. A variety of crossheads are available with prices starting at $55.
