As renters, we have to be careful how many holes we put in the walls,<\/div>\n

\"Table<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I first used table runners as valances when I decorated for Christmas<\/a> this past year.<\/div>\n
Table runners are a great way to dress a window without a huge financial investment<\/div>\n
and you can change them with the seasons if you like.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For our living room windows, sliding glass door, and dining room window I used three jute runners<\/a><\/div>\n
from World Market. They measured 20\u201d x 108\u201d so they spanned the living room windows<\/div>\n
\u00a0and slider without any alterations. I shortened one for the dining room window<\/div>\n
and have an extra length of runner that I can use elsewhere.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is a simple install.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Place large command hooks that blend with your decor where you want to anchor the swags.<\/div>\n
(Hint: To ensure that the hooks stay on the wall, slip the hook off of the anchor piece after it adheres to the wall. Hammer a small nail through the anchor and replace the hook. This will make a small hole but you won\u2019t see the nail and it still causes much less damage than curtain rods.)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Use rubber bands to gather the table runners and temporarily fasten them to the hooks while you adjust, take a look, and adjust some more. After you have achieved the look you want, use twine or cord that matches the runners to secure them to the hooks.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I added interest by hanging 4-inch ribbed glass lanterns<\/a>, also from World Market, on each of the hooks.<\/div>\n
\u00a0I love candlelight but didn’t want to risk lighting the runners on fire so I used battery-operated tea candles that I can turn on in the evenings.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"DR<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love the cohesive look that it gave to our combined living and dining area.<\/div>\n
It was simple to do but gave a \u201cdressed\u201d look to the windows without a lot of excess fuss.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’m enjoying the journey of turning our rental into a home for however long we are here,<\/div>\n
and sharing the journey lets me share my heart for home!<\/div>\n
