White Ceilings?
Ok, I'm still looking for a paint color and still trying to figure out why my FR is sooo gloomy and depressing. Just had another consult w/a different painter and she felt the room was depressing too. She thinks maybe since my ceilings are a cream color and my walls are a light grey (which I hate) and my floors are dark hardwood, that when light does come in - there is nothing to reflect it. It just gets absorbed and as the daylight diminishes my ceiling starts to look grey and or dirty. All my trim is also cream - so I don't have anything the "pops".
Under what circumstances would you go w/a white ceiling? What does it do to a room and the wall color? Are you better off doing white or when you finally pick a wall color, go 50% or more off the walls for the ceiling color?
THanks for any and all comments..
I painted all my ceilings SW extra white ceiling paint (their #1 ceiling paint color). I like my my ceilings white! My previous new house, I did paint my ceilings an off white - the whole house was gloomy and dark.
You certainly can go white if you want, if it serves a purpose. No one will discredit you for it. But think about adding edison's lights to the room...esp if you are going to be doing the ceiling, it would be better to put in recessed cans or accommodation for fixtures before painting....
Annie - I have many recessed lights in that room - but I rarely use them - as I prefer natural lighting that the room rarely gets as it's in the center of my house. I have windows, transoms and a large door, but the close houses next door don't allow much light to come in.
I had this "moment" this morning LOL, when the new faux painter came yesterday, she had a neat paint/plasster effect that has sparkles/glimmery effect. I wonder if putting that in a creamy white color would help my room? It wasn't a goddy finish at all, at least not on her sample board, it was a subtle glimmer but it would be too much on all my walls. Maybe the shimmer/sparkles would reflect any natural and artificial light back down into the room? Could something like that work?
I don't knoow what "purpose" white on the ceiling means to you? What are the purposes to use white rather than cream or a wall color?
I prefer white ceilings. Changing the ceiling to a lighter white might help you like the gray better as well. Take a look at this room by Sarah Richardson. Notice how she works light against dark. There is no reason why your room can't work. If you post pictures here you will get lots of help and great ideas. Good luck!
"All my trim is also cream - so I don't have anything the "pops".
Under what circumstances would you go w/a white ceiling? "
I prefer white ceilings and crisp white trim too. I do like the stark contrast (pop) against the walls, and it just makes the ceiling and trim more defined to me even in low light.
Where we live, almost everyone paints their ceilings white.
I thought that was why BM calls their ceiling paint "Ceiling White"!
You should definitely give it a try it see how it brightens your room.
Only on GW or in design magazines have I seen anyone paint their ceilings
anything other than "ceiling white".
I'm thinking of experimenting with a slight off-white for my dining room ceiling
(Farrow & Ball Pointing has been strongly recommended on GW).
But I wouldn't want to go any more off white than that.
Best wishes for lightening your room.
I prefer white ceilings. But I suspect your issue isn't just the paint color, it's the lighting. Ceiling fixtures give off a lot of light, but should not be the sole light source for the room. You need a variety of lamps around the room as well. I love torchiere lamps because they shoot the light up to the ceiling and makes the room glow. I think every room should have one.
And there is nothing wrong with having a lamp lit in a room during the day. I currently have 5 lamps on timers in my house. That way I don't have to run around the house turning them on and off.
How high are your ceilings?
Mine are only 8 ft and right now I have white ceilings with sage green walls. I think due to the contrast between the ceiling and the walls the eye is immediately drawn to the ceiling line.
Also someone on this sight described a white ceiling as the top of a shoe box, which makes sense to me.
We are repainting the whole house in the next couple of weeks and will be going with the wall colour (revere pewter) at 50% to reduce the contrast.
In re "shoe box top," I am the guilty party.
I am not a fan of white ceilings unless they are a deliberate part of the scheme. I think that, particularly with creamy crown molding, they often look primed and unfinished. My oft-repeated advice for gray rooms is a barely perceptible peachy pink on the ceilings, which warms the scheme and makes it look finished and deliberate, even if you don't notice that there is color on the ceiling.
Before I rattle on any more about painting ceilings, one thing you said jumped out at me. You say you prefer natural light, which your room doesn't get much of. If you are under-lighting your room, no amount of paint manipulation will fix it.
Color is the perception of light reflected back into your eyes. It's counterintuitive to say, but white walls in a room without sufficient natural light look dingy and sad. Likewise, a color that absorbs light can look moody and beautiful, but only if there are warm, adequate pools of light around the room everywhere you need them.
The potential failings of white ceilings are worst in rectangular rooms with 8 foot ceilings, which most of us have. That lovely Sarah Richardson entry is modest in size with fairly high ceilngs, it has only one gray wall which is broken by a great big doorway in bright white, it has light fixtures in two places that reflect light up to and back from the white ceiling, it has sconces on the side wall to add light on the paler wall, and it lets in a lot of natural light not only at the sides, but also at the top.
Which leads me to another general rule of thumb for lighting, which is that 80% of the natural light entering a room comes from the top 20% of the windows. The higher the ceiling and windows, the more natural light enters a room. That transom in the photo makes all the difference.
So before you do anything about color, I would make a study of the uses and application of lighting in a room like yours, without natural light, and correct your lighting first. Otherwise, you will not be able to judge what effect a color change will have.
Excellent advice, B! As always!
The other thing you might think about is putting up a mirror or a grouping of smaller mirrors on the walls to reflect whatever light you do get into the space.
As far as a shimmery finish on the walls, it depends on the look you are going for. I've seen lots of satin finish wall papers but they tend to be very feminine and very bedroom, though not always. Some are nice, some can be really ticky tacky.
In terms of ceiling color serving a purpose, my point was that the ceiling color should be considered a part of the color scheme for the room and not a "forgotten wall". So if your purpose is to use stark white as a color in your scheme and go for a higher contrast, then a white ceiling will serve that purpose well. I wouldn't use stark white on the ceiling with off white trim unless that color combo was deliberate as well.
And how you paint your ceiling can affect how the space feels. For example, in both our master bath and study, the rooms are fairly small with fairly high ceilings, so I purposely put a dark color on the ceiling to help "bring them down". White would not have served my purpose in that application.
It's not just about paint color when a room doesn't pop, it can also be about the chosen finish you use. Flat paint is going to lay there and absorb the light, semi gloss or even eggshell is going to reflect light to some degree making it look like there is more light in the room.
So in addition to adding more light in that room you may want to take a look at the finishes you chosen. They may be working against you.
I usually use the same "white" that is on the crown molding or cornice, to avoid that "another white" issue. I have nothing against colored ceilings but it becomes very difficult not to have one ceiling color in open floorplans with no headers between rooms, or stairwells without starts and stops.
Since I have an old house I try to avoid stark white on the walls and ceilings at any cost.
When I first moved in I really liked China White, so that was used on the LR and Mus. Rm. ceilings.
In my kitchen no stark white (the sinks are linen white) so I used an Eddie Bauer color "Cloth" (very creamy) for the white trim and the ceiling, as they are both 100% adjacent to each other. The ceiling's in eggshell, the trim oil semi-gloss. I really like the effect.
I have old heart/yellow pine refinished floors and trim. They are on the orang-ish side. I noticed how when the sun hits the floor it reflected that color up onto the ceiling; that gave me a thought; why not a very faint orange tint for a ceiling color? so I did it in three upstairs rooms, and I liked that effect too.
I like white ceilings even though colored ones are trendy right now. I don't dislike colored ones if they aren't too dark, I rarely like dark ceilings.
White or off white ceilings are still the most popular and have been for many years for a reason, they look good!
My part of my ceiling in the room is 9 ft the rest is vaulted. You really don't notice the vaulted section and it doesn't seem as dreary as the 9 ft section.
Since I have cream trim, I'm thinking that I need something whiter than I have, but still w/ just a hint of cream. I think the grey walls are casting muddy/dirty tones to the current ceiling.
Would a full spectrum paint help? What is a nice white/cream more white than cream that you guys use for ceilings?
I think crisp white with grey looks great. Since I like color most of my ceilings (high ceilings) are painted. Living and dining room are yellow. Took the kitchen color over the ceiling. downstairs bath, blue and 2 upstairs bedrooms are blue as well. Makes the house cozier. while I love to look at the white decor I could no way live in it.

Effective PR often is tied to what happens in the world
When news broke last month that a laptop PC containing the personal information of more than 26 million veterans had been stolen from a Department of Veterans Affairs employee's home, public relations e-mail began flying almost immediately.
"You want to use the news event to position your solution as close in proximity as possible to the problem to make that linkage in the buyer's mind," said Aaron Cohen, account supervisor and director of media relations at Imre Communications. "You want to do it when the event is still top of mind."
Making that linkage, however, is only one small piece of a larger marketing strategy, he said.
"You're not going to sway a buyer, especially a savvy government procurement officer, with just this one instance, this one contact," Cohen said. "You're going to need to continue touching them at different points of their sales cycle."
Media consultant Alex Zavistovich said the client company, not the public relations representative, must make the final decision about whether to participate in such event-driven efforts. It can seem opportunistic, even ghoulish when the news event involves deaths, and not all company leaders want to participate.
"The kind of company that does want to be involved in that is the kind of company that understands the best public relations is when you're providing information that helps the audience," Zavistovich said. "You don't want to just wrap yourself in your own flag."
Cohen said companies should approach such marketing opportunities with sensitivity. "There are instances where you might want to just back away," he said. "The mine tragedy in West Virginia a couple of months ago is an example of a situation you might want to stay away from."
John Jordan, president of Principor Communications, is one public relations professional who sent out e-mail messages in the wake of the VA data theft. He was representing his client company, Fidelis Security Systems, as a provider of technology that can prevent the unauthorized transfer of personal data.
Tying messages to events is one way to keep clients' names in front of potential customers, even when the clients themselves aren't generating news, Jordan said. "These kinds of pitches play a role in almost any kind of PR effort." But it is important to make the decision and move quickly, he added. "There tends to be a pretty small window in which you can insert yourself into these stories. You have to have something pretty tightly tied to it."
Mark Amtower, a consultant specializing in marketing and advertising geared toward federal buyers, said offers of expertise are only credible if the person being offered has a pedigree. Companies that try to draw attention to themselves when they really don't have a track record are not going to benefit in terms of media exposure or sales.
Here are the subject lines of some e-mail messages that reporters received after the May theft of veterans' personal information:

I read this book on a plane ride to Arizona, and find myself browsing its pages even after having finished. The design of the book is adorable, with old fashioned-looking pages and a text-book format. It feels like it'd be a book that Harry Potter would take to Hogwarts, but this book is not fiction. It's a good resource whether or not you believe in the occult.
The only drawback to this book is that font is really small!

This book is a defense against the dark arts book. When I got divorced, my ex got all the electronics and I got all the books that we had shared--this was one of them. I read it afterwards and it's not a book that I personally would recommend to anyone really. It's very interesting though and there is a lot of interesting mythology in here. It isn't something I personally believe or practice, but if you're interested in reading mythologies and the different ways cultures have defended themselves ...more

The Square Cash Disappearing Act
Square Cash is a great service – it allows you to send money via an email with no service charge if you're using your debit card. You can receive money without entering a PIN. I use it all the time to divide up restaurant bills among my friends. That said, I found a usability issue yesterday that I wanted to share.
I needed to link my debit card to the app, so I followed their very simple instructions for entry.
The first screen asks for the card number. The number pad is telephone-order rather than number pad-order. This is on a phone, so that makes sense even if I'm much more used to entering these numbers using a keyboard.
Next, the expiration date. On my card, the expiration date is 09/16/2016*, so I start to enter it.
Here is the screen as you start to enter the date:
I then proceeded to enter 09/16 as I looked at my card, then the CCV, and got an error message about an incorrect card number. Tried again. Same. Did this four times before I realized that the expiration date was month/year. It isn't as though I'd never seen this, or been asked to enter just the month and year from a card, so I thought hard about what tricked me.
I concluded it was the difference between the second and third screens – the guidance is there before you start typing, but as soon as you put in any number for the date, the guidance disappears. Since I was looking down at my card, I just entered what I saw and didn't think enough to check – especially since it called for ##/##, which matched the month and day on my card, not ##/####, which could only be a month and year.
You are welcome to blame the user for this one, but it would be a small fix to keep the background guide visible during entry.
*No, I'm not dumb enough to put my real card number or expiration date in the pictures for this post.

Short Course in Anthropometry
NPR just ran an extremely detailed article on the importance and study of anthropometry. The topic is the undue stress nursing places on the spine, even when "proper" lifting procedures are followed. Highlighed is the work of Bill Marras (recent Editor of the journal Human Factors), who developed a sensor rig for the forces experienced by the spine. Read for yourself, but if you want the high points:
"Moving and lifting patients manually is dangerous even for veteran nursing staff, Marras says, for several reasons:
The laws of physics dictate that it's easiest to lift something when it's close to your body. But nursing employees have to stand at the side of the bed, relatively far from the patient.
Nursing employees also often bend over the patient. That's important, because there's a chain of bones along the spine, called facet joints, hidden under the little bumps protruding under the skin. Those bones interconnect and help absorb loads when standing straight. Marras says that when nurses lift as they're bending, those bones disengage and their disks take most of the force. Those forces are "much, much higher than what you'd expect in an assembly line worker," he says.
When nurses keep working under these loads, it causes microscopic tears in the "end plates," which are films as thin as credit cards above and below each disc. Those tears lead to scar tissue, which can block the flow of nutrients into the disks — until, eventually, the disks start to collapse. "You could be doing this damage [to your back] for weeks or months or years, and never realize it," says Marras. "The event that caused you to feel the problem is just the straw that broke the camel's back."
The final conclusion was that people cannot lift other people safely. Assistive machines are needed, and as the article points out, hospitals do not have them.
Treemap sighting in the wild: U.S. Budget proposal
I get pretty excited when I see my favorite infovis being used: The Treemap
Just released today – the proposed U.S. budget as a treemap!
So, how well did this visualization work for its intended purpose:
- Points awarded for using a treemap – it makes it so easy to see how massive social security and healthcare are.
- Points deducted for the cluttered overlay text in the Transportation section.
- Points deducted for making the areas clickable, but not actually providing more information beyond a platitude ("Military Personnel: When it comes to our service members and their families, America stands united in support. The budget helps ensure that those who serve our country receive all the support and opportunities they've earned and deserve.")
- Points deducted for making me click a link to "learn more" from a YouTube video of the entire State of the Union address when I could be learning more with a deeper treemap.
I'd like to see more of the blocks broken down into the components they fund, making it as informative and transparent as my go-to example of a treemap: the stock market. My second favorite treemap is a program that will treemap your harddrive, making it easy to see where those giant spacehogging files are hiding, deep in directories you forgot were there. I treemapped my lab server with it as we ran out of space and found giant video files about 10 directories down in an unlikely spot that were eating up our GBs.
Perhaps we could have a treemap that lets us change things in the budget to see how we would make it look, like the American Public Media interactive "Budget Hero" game from a few years ago (now defunct or I would link it)? I learned a LOT about what could budge and what couldn't budge in the budget from that game.
*All the points deducted are far outweighed by my support of the treemap being used in the first place! Brilliant!
Nonagenarian designs for aging and inspires younger designers
NPR published a great story on Barbara Beskind, a product and interface designer in her early nineties.
My favorite excerpt:
Gretchen Addi, an associate partner at IDEO, hired Beskind. Addi says when Beskind is in a room, young designers do think differently. For example, Addi says IDEO is working with a Japanese company on glasses to replace bifocals. With a simple hand gesture, the glasses will turn from the farsighted prescription to the nearsighted one.
Initially, the designers wanted to put small changeable batteries in the new glasses. Beskind pointed out to them that old fingers are not that nimble.
"It really caused the design team to reflect," Addi says. They realized they could design the glasses in a way that avoided the battery problem. "Maybe it's just a USB connection. Are there ways that we can think about this differently?"
There are several wonderful take-home messages:
- Creative and fulfilling work can extend late into the lifetime
- Aging does not just bring limitations, it also extends perspective and wisdom
- Designing for aging is doesn't detract from a product but can enhance it for people of all ages
- Having a person with such perspective on a design team changes the perspective and thoughts of the rest of the team, the core tenant of participatory design
Apple Watch Human Factors
The big news in tech last week was the unveiling of the Apple Watch. I think it is a nice moment to discuss a range of human factors topics. (This topic may elicit strong feelings for or against Apple or the idea of a smartwatch but let's keep it about the science.)
The first is technology adoption/acceptance. Lots of people were probably scratching their heads asking, "who wears a watch, nowadays?" But you do see lots of people wearing fitness bands. Superficially, that contrast seems to demonstrate the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in action. TAM is a way to try to understand when people will adopt new technology. It boils down the essential factors to usability (does it seem easy to use?) and usefulness (does it seem like it will help my work or life?).
Fitness bands check both of the above boxes: since they are essentially single-function devices they are relatively easy to use and tracking fitness is perceived as useful for many people.
Back to the Watch, it may also check off both of the above boxes: it certainly appears easy to use (but we do not know yet), and because it has fitness tracking functions plus many others via apps it certainly may be perceived as useful to the same crowd that buys fitness bands.
The next topic that got me excited was the discussion of the so-called digital crown (shown below). Anne and I have previously studied the contrasts between touch screens and rotary knobs for a variety of computing tasks. Having both choices allows the user select the best input device for the task: touch for pushing big on-screen buttons and large-scale movement and knob for precise, linear movement without obscuring the screen. Using a knob is certainly easier than a touch screen if you have shaky hands or are riding a bumpy cab.
Two small items of note that were included in the Watch was the use of the two-finger gesture on the watch face to send a heart beat to another user–the same gesture many people intuitively think of when they want to feel their own heart beat.
Finally, the Watch has the ability to send animated emoij to other users. What was noteworthy is the ability to manipulate both eyes and mouth in emoji characters. I couldn't find any literature but I recall somewhere that there is some cross-cultural differences in how people use and interpret emoji: Western users tend to focus on the mouth while Eastern users tend to focus on the eyes (if you know what reference I'm talking about or if I'm mis-remembering, feel free to comment).
There's so much I haven't brought up (haptic and multi-modal feedback, user interface design, automation, voice input and of course privacy)!

Haikuman Factors
Sometimes it's good to take a step back from the seriousness of our work and find new focus. H(aiku)man factors is the brainchild of my colleague Douglas Gillan.

double rod
I loved the look and style of this rod. I feel it was an excellent but for the price. I have not had rod installed yet so I don't know about the mechanics yet.Read More
Great Curtain Rods
This is the strongest curtain rods that I have found. I needed to cover an 8ft. window with side clearance, that means a span of 136 inches. Almost fully extended they are the strongest curtain rods!Read More
Seals the Deal with thermal curtains!
This was an excellent solution to our insulation of a huge picture window and the cold winter air. It allowed the thermal gromet style curtains to snuggly fit all along the walls at the sides, mount just close enough to the ceiling for the curtain to just clear when sliding and I strongly recommend the curtains to just sweep the floor (about 1/2 inch) to keep the cold from flowing out the bottom. We went the full length at 144 inches which concerned my husband, but the primary rod hardward seems to not sag. The secondary rod for the sheers is 3 parts each side and do sag just a tad bit when fully extended but not enough to be a problem (small price for such a large picture window!). Overall the whole thing worked beautifully. p.s. used with the Extra Wide THermal Blackout Grommet Top 84-inch Curtain Panel (2).Read More
Warning! You want a friend to help install these. Seriously. Torque is a real thing folks. I did it by myself, and my muscles have almost stopped complaining. :) The drill bit size needed is larger than stated in the instructions, so check the wall anchor size against the drill bit, then go for it. If you're the decorating type, these rods allow you to add more layers to your window treatments. I just need the option of privacy (curtains) or just soften the sunshine (sheers). Perfect.Read More
Barricade Double window Curtain Rod
I have two french doors that had blinds on them; I wanted a softer, warmer look, using sheers and drapes. The Barricade Double window hanging hardware worked perfectly for the look I was wanting. The rods look rich; I bought the dark brown to match the drapes which are chocolate. I love the overall look.Read More
Simply beautiful - reasonably priced
I am not a fan of fussy window treatments - I wanted simple and timeless for my box bay window. No room for finials, and it's important to be able to enjoy the full natural light when I want to, but to shut it out as much as possible when needed. These are good quality and look great! I have sheers on the second rod for full, diffused light during the day, and simple lined cotton drapes on clip rings that pull together for privacy at night. Very happy with the product, and plan to buy more to finish the first floor of my house.Read More
good but no heavy curtains
Look fabulous, very nice mission- style. Installation was fairly easy.Read More
Durable curtain rod
This is an excellent product. I love the way it looks and I feel that it will withstand the distance that it has to cover. My only complaint is that it has plastic anchors. I feel that a rod of this length and this weight should have had metal anchors.Read More
Sturdy Long length Rob
I love the extended length of the main rod, but the flimsy secondary rods are thin, weak and too flexible. Causes the sheers hung on them to bow in the center. And the lack of depth between the 2 rods prevents grommet top drapes/sheers to glide open or close. I'm keeping the product for the main 144" rod but would not recommend this if I needed it to operate as a double rod system.Read More
nice quality, worked well
I wanted a wrap-around curtain rod in a style that would not clash with a nearby and existing light fixture so I was looking for a particular color and a plainer style. We have an older home and some of the windows have not been replaced yet so I got heavier curtains. I put up curtains on grommets and sheers. At first I thought there was no room for the sheers - but it actually works out okay to have them close and the curtains still work and the sheers are not moving. There is also less light leakage if that is a concern. I bought two of these and have two wide windows. The support does its job and they were pretty easy to put up as well. Overall, the focus is really on the curtains now and not on the rod - and I like that the rod is in three pieces - allows for an easier time closing the curtains. I am happy with my purchase and hubs was as well.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello lesbern, we do not currently have a curtain rod that will span to 110 inches, our inventory is changing everyday. Thanks for shopping with us!
I am confused by this "add a rod" stuff. So please make it simple for me. How many rods come with this set? 0ne or two
We are still researching this and should have the answer shortly.
Hello clueless, the BKD-300 comes with 3 Rods. 2 Add A Rods and 1 window rod. Using all 3 rods you can achieve the 96-144" length. Thank you for shopping with us!
The big rod works well. however, why the "add a rod" is not long enough to hold to the big rod? it says max to 72 inches, however I am not be able to add the extra stick to extend the length. I think I might have gotten a defected package.Could you please look into this for me?
Hello evyy, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
What is the diameter of the backplate?
Hello ldotthisbiznatch, we are not quite sure what you mean "backplate", but the curtain rod is one inch in diameter and the part the is attached to the wall is a 2 inch diameter. The rod does project 4 to 5 inches from the wall. We hope this helps, and thank you for shopping with us.
Can this rod be hung from the ceiling or is this only for wall mounting?
Hello mariyak! This item is designed for wall mounting, however you may be able to rig it to hang from the ceiling as well. Thanks for shopping with us! -Amanda P
I suppose you could mount it to the ceiling, but I'm not so sure the set screws would hold the weight of the curtains. You might have to drill through the wall mount and put the screws all the way through...
A lot of people are saying that the second rod sags under the weight of even sheers! Is this true?? Can someone that owns this answer my question since customer service seems to just read the desciption back to you!
Thank you for contacting us e1nd. The Barricade Add-A-Rod is a three piece pipe which measures 30-72" with a 3" overlap between the pipes. When hung correctly and with sheer curtains there should be no sagging or bowing on the Add-A-Rod. Since we do not know the weight of the sheer's used that caused sagging and/or bowing in the review, it's hard to know what actually occurred. We sell many different types of Add-A-Rods, both round and flat hook and this is the first time I've addressed a bowing or sagging issue with our Add-A-Rods. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
I used this for a patio door and used the provided center bracket. I have had no problems with any of the rods sagging. I have sheers hanging on the small inside rods, which I open & close frequently. I guess if you put heavy curtains on and extended the small rods too far (over 5 feet), there would probably be sagging.
How much curtain weight does each rod can carry?
Thank you for contacting us nadahana. The Barricade is all steel and can easily support the weight of any curtain. The 96-144" rod will require the installation of a center support bracket to prevent sagging. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
The inside rod will not support a lot of weight, even with the center support bracket. I have lightweight sheers and it sags.
My windows measure 145 3/4" is their an extender for this rod
Set includes: One (1) window rod, one (2) add-a-rod, mounting hardware Dimensions: Rod adjusts from 96 inches to 144 inches
Sorry my question was cut off earlier. Does this item have center support brackets for both the curtain rod and for the add-a-rods?
The 96-144" Barricade is supplied with a center support bracket for the main rod only. The Add-A-Rods utilize the same center support bracket.
Description states: Set includes: One (1) window rod, one (2) add-a-rod, mounting hardware So does this come with only one add-a-rod or two add-a-rods? Two add-a-rods would be needed for the 96
Yes, you are correct. This comes with two add-a-rods.
desription says that this rod projects 3.5 to 5.5 inches out from wall. huh? which is it?
The outer rod projects 5.5 inches from the wall, while the inner rod projects 3.5 inches from the wall.
Most long curtain rods have a bracket to go in the middle. I am looking for rods that DO NOT have this as I need curtain rods for curtains for a large sliding glass door. Does this double set only require the two end pieces for full support?
Our 96-144 inches Barricade Rod comes with a center support bracket (in addition to the two end supports) that is used to fully support the lengths between 96-144 inches. The center support also provides the mounting bracket necessary when combining the add-a-rods for a Double rod.
Shopping Guides
How to Hang a Curtain Rod from the Ceiling
Hanging a curtain rod from the ceiling is an innovative and simple way to add drama to any room. This method can make ceilings appear higher, add interest to otherwise boring windows or act as a room divider with the right curtains. Whether you want a double curtain rod for hanging layered curtains, a wooden curtain rod for a rustic vibe or an iron curtain rod for a traditional look, the following suggestions will help you install the right rod and hardware.
Best Curtain Rod for a Bay Window
It's easy to add draperies to a wide bay window with a sturdy curtain rod. Since bay windows feature several panes of glass that form a curved polygonal shape, it can be a challenge to find the right curtain rods. Fortunately, this guide will help you find the right curtain rod for your space, whether you want a double curtain rod for layering your curtains or a swing-arm curtain rod you can pull away from the window. Read on for tips on finding the best curtain rod for a bay window.
How to Adjust Tension Rods
Curtains are a great way to accent the decor in every room in the house. Tension rods, also called spring rods, are curtain hardware which allow you to hang window curtains, wall curtains or shower curtains without installing curtain rod hardware on the walls. If an existing tension rod slips or if you want to change the curtain panels or add curtain rings, you may need to remove and adjust the rod before putting it back in place. Tension rods are positioned between two facing surfaces, such as the interior frame of a window or the opposing sides of a shower cubicle.
Tips on Buying Curtain Rods
Update your living room, bedroom or kitchen when you buy curtain rods to hang your new window treatments. Whether you need corner curtain rods to dress up a corner window or a swing-arm curtain rod to create a partition in your studio apartment, you're sure to find the right rods and curtain hardware for your space with the following suggestions. Read on for tips on buying curtain rods.
How to Hang a Valance and Curtains
Hanging a valance and curtains over your window will add dimension, texture and style to any room. Window curtains with a valance give your window treatments a finished, designer look. If you want to block out light, a valance and full-length blackout panel curtain is your best choice. If you are more interested in decoration and only need to block minimal light, then a valance over sheer curtains is a good choice. It's important to measure the window and decide what type of curtains you want before you buy the curtain hardware. A cafe rod will be sufficient to support a sheer curtain, but you will need a stronger curtain rod to support heavier fabrics such as blackout panels. Also, the larger the window, the sturdier the curtain rod will need to be.
Curtain Rods for Every Style
Everyone has windows, which means everyone can use curtain rods to show off their personal home decor style. Curtain rods come in a huge range of styles, meaning there's a style of rod for virtually every home. If you are in need of some new curtain poles for your home or apartment, read through the article below, which is certain to teach you about curtain rods for every style.
How to Measure for Curtains
Curtains add privacy and style to a room, but before you buy a set, you'll need to know which size is right. You'll find that curtains usually come in lengths of 63 inches, 84 inches, 95 inches, 108 inches, and 120 inches. The length you choose will depend on the look that you want as well as the placement of your curtain rod.
Top 5 Curtain Rods for Formal Living Rooms
Formal living rooms need something more than a standard curtain rod to exude elegance and timelessness. You can have the most luxurious couches and elaborate wall art, but without the right window treatments, the room will still feel bare. The best curtain fabric to hang in living rooms is typically something heavy, with a sheen, like damask or silk. These weighty textiles need equally strong hardware to balance the look. Here are the best curtain hardware styles for your formal living room.

Curtain rods are quickly becoming the must-have home item for style experts everywhere. These terrific devices, known in certain circles as curtain poles, are experiencing a renaissance, the likes of which hasn't been seen since shower curtains' chic resurgence in the mid-1970s. Want to give your place a quick boost of style? Set your living room decor on fire with the hottest curtain rod trends. The article below should give you a good idea of what's in and what's out in the curtain pole world.
How to Install a Shower Curtain
With all of the many different shower curtains and liners, curtain rods, rings, and hook sets, it's easy to find the perfect shower curtain combination for your bathroom. The question now is how to set it all up once you've found it. Although most shower curtains are a standard size, you can also opt for slightly longer varieties, and you can always make use of differing heights of rods and use shower curtain rings to create the length you want.
How to Install Curved Shower Rods
If your shower is feeling cramped, installing a curved shower rod is an easy way to add more room without any renovations. A curved shower rod extends the liner and curtain out into the bathroom, giving you more space as you shower. Installing a curved shower rod is not much different from installing a standard straight rod, but there a few tips that will help you make sure your rod will stay in place without taking up too much space.
How to Pick Curtains
Curtains can add a distinct feel or the finishing touch to a room. Whether the room is undergoing a complete remodel or just needs sprucing up, the selection of window curtains can add or distract from the desired outcome. Things to consider before selecting curtains are the room they will hang in, color, style and design elements such as curtain hardware and embellishments. Consider whether the curtains are more functional or ornamental in use.
Cornices Explained
Window cornices are just one of the many window treatments that can make standard curtains a decorative fixture in the room. They are typically rectangular boxes that house a curtain rod or valance, but can also be found in different shapes, styles and materials. Cornices mounted close to the ceiling and covering the gap between the wall and window can make a room appear taller and more dramatic. To learn more about decorating using a window cornice, read on.
How to Attach Round Rings on a Curtain
Round curtain rings are quickly becoming a common window treatment option in many homes because they are both attractive and easy to open and close. Round rings typically come in colors and finishes that match the curtain hardware and are complementary to the drapery design, which allows them to be used in almost any setting. If want to hang your curtains from round rings, follow these steps for attaching the rings to make sure the curtains hang correctly.
How to Hang Drapery Hooks
When you need to quickly hang hemmed drapes or curtains, drapery hooks are an effective and easy-to-use option. The basic style of this curtain hardware staple is a single wire folded against itself; one end has a sharp prong and the other end is bent into a curved hook. In fact, these hooks, also known as drapery pins, almost look like large fishing hooks. Variations of this type of curtain hardware include additional prongs, angled hooks and blunt tips. All drapery pins and hooks work the same way, and the technique is fairly easy to master. If you're looking for a simple window treatment project, these hooks are the ideal drapery hardware because you can successfully hang drapes and curtains with them without a lot of time, hassle or tools. Read on for instructions on hanging drapery hooks in your windows.
Best Valances for Living Room Windows
Dress up the curtains in your living room windows when you buy elegant valances for your home. Whether you want to cover up unsightly hardware above your windows or just add a special touch to your drapes, window valances are a great way to make your living room more polished. With many valance styles available, however, you may be wondering which will work well in your home. This guide provides you with information about the best valances for living room windows.
How to Add a Claw Foot Tub Enclosure
You can add a lot of old-fashioned charm to your bathroom with a claw foot tub and shower enclosure. Once you have the bathtub and plumbing fixtures installed, it's time to set up the frame for the shower curtain. With a normal tub, you could just rely on a shower rod between two walls, but a clawfoot tub is usually set away from the wall in an open area, which means the shower curtain rail will need to cover the entire bath tub perimeter. And that can require a custom enclosure frame for your unique claw foot tub. Here are a few steps to help you install it.
Tips on Installing Cabinet Hardware
When you are working on home improvement projects, seemingly simple things can turn out to be tricky. One such project is the installation of cabinet hardware. Installing the knobs on the doors and the handles on the drawers isn't complicated, but it is something you will want to get right the first time, so you won't permanently damage your new cabinets. By following a few simple tips on installing cabinet hardware, you'll find that installing your cabinet hardware can be an easy, rewarding project. These tips apply to new cabinets that don't have knobs and handles yet; however, if you have filled in the holes on old cabinets and refinished the doors, you can also use these same tips.
Computer Hardware Buying Guide
Over time, your old computer slows down and becomes outdated. New applications demand more memory, speed and capabilities. You can bring your computer up-to-date by upgrading computer parts on your current computer or build your own system from the ground up. Whether you're starting from scratch or just making an upgrade, this computer hardware buying guide will help you know which computer hardware components will work together to make your computer fast and powerful.
How to Choose Interior Door Hardware
Interior door hardware includes everything used to hang and operate a door. This includes locks, hinges, doorknobs, and stops. When choosing interior door hardware, you will need to balance function with overall aesthetic appeal. For most interior applications, you will find a number of different hardware styles to complement any type of decor. Here are some of the most important things to consider.

Mark Morrison - Father Forgive Them
Artist: Mark Morrison
Featuring: Crooked I, Beenie Man
Producer: Mark Morrison & SP Soul
Album: I Am What I Am
Avg Rating: 2.0 ( 11 votes )
Since Mark Morrison's '90s heyday, the Return of the Mack hitmaker's career has been rocked by numerous legal and personal issues, punctuated by sporadic, well, returns to the game. Through all his troubles, however, the UK singer has always considered himself an Innocent Man – and on his latest single, he drives the point home by quoting the last words (according to Luke) of history's most famous martyr: "Father Forgive Them, for they know not what they do." Backed by his and co-producer SP Soul's string-laced instrumental, Morrison lets listeners know that that he's back from the netherworld, this time (hopefully) for good. Supporting the headliner as he makes his grand re-entrance are dancehall heavyweight Beenie Man and Cali underground mainstay Crooked I, the former dropping two spiritually-themed verses in his trademark patois, and the latter pronouncing himself "the illest in the West" on the back end. Those who like what they're hearing can find more on the artist's Popeye-parahrasing I Am What I Am LP when it drops this fall.

WANTED: Old Fashioned Lilac Syringa vulgaris
I would love to trade for an Old Fashioned Lilac (Syringa vulgaris). Preferably at least 2 years old so it will bloom soon.
Not everything on my have list made it thru the winter. Contact me if you see something of interest.
This post was edited by ruthz on Wed, Apr 9, 14 at 12:57
That would be great. I've never seen the white ones so I would prefer the lavender.
I grew up in North Georgia and we sometimes had the lavender one. I remember the awesome fragrance.
I tried one here years ago and it didn't do well, so I thought they wouldn't grow here. For a few years I've been keeping an eye on one in my neighborhood.
It's finally growing good and blooming right now.
Makes me want to try growing them again.
I will be happy to send postage or trade. I'm still waiting to see if some stuff survived winter. Let me know what you might like and I'll check.

I so hope Mazda does right by you. Thanks to your review, I must be one of 100s of smart people (thanks to you) who will NOT buy a Mazda of any kind if they don't make this right for you. So unacceptable. May something great happen for you regardless and may Mazda have their appropriate CARMA (karma ... ha ha)!!!!
Hi Houstongfamily- I too have suffered with the same issue as you. I was headed down a country road to a wedding when the car had almost a heart attack and the engine completely shut down. I walked in high heels till some landscape guys took pity on me and dropped me off at the church. I have 73K on my vehicle and I was going about 60 MPH. I called &
had the car towed to my house. My father is a car guy and took it home and called Mazda. They told me we had to tow it to the dealership, spend $115 to get it diagnosed and then they would see if they would do anything for us. When it got to the dealership they told us it would be $415 for a diagnosis as they had to disassemble the engine. The Mazda guy over the phone was horrible. He expected us to spend $415.00 to diagnose the problem that Mazda may or may not pay for. He told me that they really don't have to do anything because I am out of warranty. This was after they made me jump through the hoop of tracking down EVERY SINGLE OIL CHANGE I have ever had and email it to them. The Mazda guy over the phone said that Mazda most likely wouldn't help me or maybe pay a partial cost depending on what it was. Bottom line, it got towed back home and my Dad disassembled the engine to find the cam pin broke off the engine and needed to be replaced. The Mazda guy would not admit to this being a problem but magically could tell me it would be over $2,000 at least to reapir. Strange, they did even have my $415 diagnosis money to be able to tell me that. Bottom line, I told them I have a liftime of buying vehicles and it will never again be a Mazda. If anyone hears about a class action lawsuit, I am in! PS- why did you need an entire new engine???!!!
I wish I would have checked into Mazda before I bought my 2007 CX 7. I always thought Mazda was a dependable and reliable vehicle. I bought mine in April. When we bought it the dealership (Kenny Ross) Zelienople PA. said if we bought the extended warranty ($2500) they would cover the chattering noise, which they said was the turbo. Needless to say, when we took it in, they said we neglected changing the oil and if we didn't have proof the oil was changed, they weren't covering it because there was nothing wrong with the turbo, it was the timing chain. Very disappointed with Mazda and frustrated with dealership for knowing, lying, and not taking care of the issue. People wonder why people have bad credit. You think your getting a dependable car with decent mileage (75,000) paying $400 a month because of bad credit and then they screw you even more. Hopefully there will be some kind of class action suit!!!! Mazda needs to stand behind their cars!!!!!
I'll keep this short - much of it has already been said.
Timing chain failed at about 80K miles.
Trucked to dealer, who has been the ONLY one to touch the car since day 1.
ALL maintenance done as or before scheduled.
Dealer says car needs remanufactured engine at $6400.00.
Requested assistance from Mazda due to known issue - answer was to offer $1700 towards a NEW Mazda (Are they kidding?
Why would I want another one?), so I said forget it.
Trucked to a local shop who will do the same work for almost $2000 less and give me twice the warranty (2yr/24K miles).
Class action?
You bet I'm interested!
I am very upset and unhappy with my Mazda CX7 2010 1st problem was a blown turbo which Mazda didn't want to accept as their problem due to insufficent oil change but after repeated phone calls and factory rep inspecting defect at dealership they finally accepted responsibility.I change my oil at 3500 to 5000 miles almost every other month with synthetic penzoil and had receipts.This was at 35000 miles which I drove in 1 year. Then I get a letter in the mail this past Jan.that there may be a problem with the VVT/Timing Chain to bring the car in and have checked for $185.00. I have had many cars over the past 45 yrs of driving and know when the valves are ticking at hat time i had approx 70,000 miles which Mazda had extended the warrenty to. i called Mazda and advised I could not drive due to replacement shoulder surgery and the car wasn't making any noise. Now 7 months later and 14000 more miles the VVT and timing chain are blown.My mechanic wants $1050.00 fix. I called Mazda again today and they refuse to do anything for me due to the mileage.
Why when they know they have a possible defect and send out notices extending the warrenty due they refuse to help a customer.These are 2 major defects, maybe that is why they are discontinuing the CX7 and I will NEVER buy another Mazda product nor recommend Mazda to anyone. ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM has met its DOOM. APMADATMAZDA

Real Madrid's crushing victory away to Barcelona to reach the King's Cup final has fired out a warning to Manchester United ahead of their Champions League last 16 return at Old Trafford next week.
United manager Alex Ferguson was watching from the stands at the Nou Camp on Tuesday when Real romped to a 3-1 semi-final second leg victory, helped by a double from the outstanding Cristiano Ronaldo.
Real reached the May 18 Cup final coming back from a 1-1 home draw, the same result United achieved at the Bernabeu in the first leg, to triumph 4-2 on aggregate with a commanding display against their arch-rivals.
Despite an inconsistent league campaign which has left Real third, 16 points adrift of leaders Barca, they proved they could rise to the occasion when required and batter a side who have beaten United twice in European Cup finals in recent seasons.
"We hope this will be a pivotal moment for us," Real captain Iker Casillas told reporters, when he surprisingly appeared to speak instead of coach Jose Mourinho.
"We are level at 1-1 (with United) and we have to try and score, and to keep a clean sheet. We need to do what we did here at Old Trafford," added Casillas, who is out of action recovering from hand surgery.
"The team played to their strengths very well. I think Madrid have beaten Barca tactically and are deserved winners of the tie."
Madrid let Barca dominate possession but denied them the space to work their magic, as AC Milan had done when surprising the visitors 2-0 in their Champions League last 16 first leg last week.
Ronaldo outshone World Player of the Year Lionel Messi, scoring in a record sixth consecutive 'Clasico' away from home, the first goal coming from the penalty spot and the second after a trademark fast counter-attack.

"My fiancé and I loved this Save the Date! It gave a quick and fun snapshot of the story of our love and the clean and bright design matched our aesthetic well. Got so many compliments from friends and family as they received them in the mail. Not your typical save the date and exactly what we wanted!"
"WPD makes it so easy to customize font and colors. Even the stuff that doesn't have a text box when in the personalize stage of ordering, they were able to change. They turned out beautiful!"
"This card is truly perfect. Not only is it the perfect size, but made of sturdy paper. So elegant and classy, which was the theme I was looking for! I would recommend this save the date to anyone. I'm so happy I decided to go with this design!"
"I am so in LOVE with our cards! The ease of working with your team made this project so much more exciting. You all were able to customize my project as I requested without any problems!! The printing looks beautiful and full of color! The shipping was fast and came before I expected. I can't wait to send them out! I will definitely be looking at your team to create my wedding invitations!! Keep up the great work!"
"I really enjoyed this card because I could personalize so much of it. The one negative was the time it took to upload pictures to the website to try out different looks. Besides for that, I love how my save the date turned out. The postcard is smaller than an average postcard, but it's not that big of a difference."

diy coffe station - any ideas/photos - help
I'm not happy with the "coffee station situation" going on in my kitchen. Any suggestions? Want to revamp the whole thing. Basically now all I have is mismatched containers holding coffee, filters and sweetener. How did you solve this earth shattering problem?
SW, if you could share pictures of what space you have
to set up a "coffee station" it would help with ideas. You've
made me realize ours is pretty simple but works for us.LOL
We do have DM's coffee filter container that we use. It's the
white thing on the left hand side. DH uses the Mocha every
day and the other creamers sit beside that. I use vanilla
creamer that needs refigerated so I don't have to worry
about a space for that.
Looks like DH must of had greasy fingers when turning
on the coffee maker this morning!haha
Good Luck, Punk
Thanks for sharing your picture. Gives me some ideas.
My space is under the cabinet also, next to the sink. I wanted to move it to the other side of the kitchen but DH said water probably would be spilt. I'm trying to find a coffee pot that you fill the reserve and not pour water from the top. I did check and I have 2 red small-ish canisters for coffee and sweetener. I also have a small red colander that the filters fit in. I went to the thrift store yesterday and Dollar Tree and think I have the makings of a coffee station. Will post picture when I get it all together.
Sounds like you have it figured out.Yeah Will be watching for
your debut! BTW, your red colander sounds neat for your
coffee filters. DH has a point about water any time it has to
be carried across a room.hmmm I like having the pot close to
the bar where we sit on the weekends w/company. What I love
most is enjoying the first cup of joe out on the deck when the
suns out.
Not sure what coffee maker you'd be looking for that doesn't
pour from the top. The bunn keeps a reserve warm but the
water is poured in the top front. I love using a Bunn because
it brews a pot in 3 minutes. I've had the stainless ones and
they don't seem to last for us.
