I have a large wall hanging that is just about ready to hang. I dreaded spending money on a rod, but it definately needs one. Just before I went to bed last night, I went to my storage room to look for an item. I glanced over to one of the walls where I had stored two broken torchier lamps. All I saw was brushed metal tubing. My eyes visibaly removed the base, cord and the shade. Aha! Knowing that I had two brackets for cafe rods, I grabbed them, and the tubing fit perfectly!! Yay! I grabbed my wall hanging and took measurements and it seems like the rod was made for the wall hanging or the other way around. Woo hoo! Problem solved. :thumbup: Now to finish up the Bargello because I know I don't have to wait for the money to purchase a rod. Better yet, there is another torchier that no longer works to use for another project. :thumbup:
