DOES MY CURTAIN ROD MAKE ME LOOK FAT?

My curtain rods from William and Sonoma Home arrived yesterday and all I can say is "hmm...they're a little fat"!


Just to give you an idea of how "fat" they are:


I'm going to use them, but not in my bedroom. While at JCP last night, I noticed a new style of rods from Chris Madden and they are perfect. I hate I didn't take pictures of them to show you. They are actually on pre-sale, so I can purchase them, but have to wait until Sunday to bring them home.

Have you ever used 2" diameter curtain rods? Where is a good place to find rings for them?

wow...they are exactly that, fat. I've only used 2" thick rods once, in a two story space and it worked. Rings: for that project I think I found the rings at Home Depot, and I've also had a lot of luck getting affordable rings at Target. In fact, sometimes I splurge on better rods and hardware and find cheaper rings elsewhere. The cost of rings add up fast when some stores are charging $3 a piece!! I'm not naming any names...

Those are nice fat rods! What a steal! It might be hard to find rings that size, they do make wood rings that size, for wood curtains rods, I'd check out JCP again...they have great options & Home depot

I've used them in a recent project for a 2" wooden rod I specified. Check out allen + roth collection at Lowe's!

Those are pretty big! No idea about rings.. Sorry!

Hilarious! I was surprised at how big they were, too! Mine came yesterday, too! So, I'm on the hunt for rings and brackets. If I find some before you do, I'll be sure to let you know!

I had some I got from Lowes last year. They really are fat, and for some reason, it's funny to me when you say that.

They'll look great in the bedroom.

Even better deal, but they are pretty fat.

you could check out homedepot and i am sure jcpenny would have them. work that rod! its fat but you can surely work it out. keep me posted.

Are you sure they won't work for your bedroom? I love them! When I saw your post I went to the site but they were sold out of the rods! Great deal!

I actually don't like the smaller ones as much. I have thinner ones in the playroom and they don't look as nice as the ones downstairs in our family room. But I will have to wait and see what the JCP ones look like!

Got our thick rods at LNT before I knew about the bk. However, BBB has similar ones. They are on the pricey side but with a sale and coupons the price is better.
