So while at the grocery store (don’t ask) I had a great idea for how I could put a permanent system in place to hang photo backdrops from. So I began with the DEKA curtain wire kit from IKEA. I mounted the end units to the top of our entertainment center and strung the wire across. Luckily it was exactly the right length. I then attached the clips that came with the kit and viola, I can hang any color backdrop that I want for an in home photo session. You don’t even notice that the wire is there unless we point it out to you. I can’t wait to use it to take some pictures. Incidently, I choose to install this in our living room because there are windows around the entire room and it gets tons of great natural light. Here are some pictures…

What a super idea! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Cool idea!
Wow, great idea! I would love to use something like that to hang holiday stuff from; so easy to change it up at each special day!
AWESOME Idea! I may have to highjack it:)
THIS IS BRILLIANT!! I have been looking for something like this. Thanks so much!
great idea! i’m a pro photog and did something similar with a curtain rod from ikea and a big roll of photographic backdrop paper. it’s in my kid’s room and so it also serves double duty because he uses it to color and draw. when we’re done, i tear it off and start all over.
Nice backdrops used in your photography! I found similar kind of muslin backdrops here at http://www.aurabackdrops.com
