I posted about the easy valances that I saw on Pinterest. While I think it could be a good idea somewhere, it was the wrong fabric, color and scale for these windows, and definitely ranks up there as a DIY Fail. These windowns are long and narrow, and putting that little square at the top just made them look like Q-tips!
Enter longer, wider and just basically cuter. And store bought. That kills me, but after searching for fabric for months at $22 yard, I settled on these for $20 each. And I like them.
Live and learn. I am an accountant after all, not a designer. And no, the really cool "pooling effect" is just that they are too long, and I hate to hem. Maybe the pooling effect isn't so bad...
I have a few more projects for this room, and it's turning into a really useful space in the house. I love how flipping the rooms downstairs is going so far!
