Finally!

As you may recall, it was months ago that I asked an opinion on fabrics for my kitchen and family room area. We have been enjoying completed drapes for a while now and finally, finally have a finished valance above the family room windows!

 

Agonizing decision-making, ordering, cutting, sewing, endless measuring, building and finally hanging, it is up and isn't coming down! Huge thanks to Shellie for the help in design and the building know-how- I vow to never again embark upon a project I am not somewhat able to complete on my own! Denten and Nick also get huge props for hanging it for me. It's not heavy, but it's big and of course we thought of a much easier way to mount it to the wall after the fact... knowledge we'll save for next time, ha!

 

I hoped to get a photo straight on of the whole thing, but either the incredibly rare cloudy day outside or simply poor lighting in the family room has prohibitted a good shot. But I hope you get the idea- now onto the next project...don't worry, it will surely be months before you see results!
