A window valance (or pelmet in the UK) is a form of window treatment that covers the uppermost part of the window and can be hung alone or paired with window blinds, or curtains. Valances are a popular decorative choice in concealing drapery hardware. Window valances were popular in Victorian interior design. In draping or bunting form they are commonly referred to as swag.
Window valances are also called window top treatments. The earliest recorded history of interior design is rooted in the renaissance Era, a time of great change and rebirth in the world of art and architecture, and much of this time saw understated, simple treatments, eventually moving towards more elaborate fabrics of multiple layers of treatments, including, towards the end of this period, valances, swags, jabots, and pelmets. By the Baroque and early Georgian period (1643-1730), elaborate and theatrical treatments placed high emphasis on the cornice and pelmet as a way to finish off the top of a window treatment.

http://jayscustomcreations.com/?p=7229 Subscribe for new videos every week. My house has pretty boring windows. A little because of the architecture of the house and a little because of the fact that I hate curtains. So we just have 2” wide blinds in all of our windows. All of the blinds were left by the previous owners of the house and it looks like they were installed at different times through the years as most of them are of different styles and manufacturers. Luckily the major differences are only noticeable at the tops of the blinds. To cover these unsightly blinds I thought about making painted window cornices. ---------- Subscribe to my VLOG channel: http://www.youtube.com/jccshorts Here's how you can show your support: Shirts - http://www.jayscustomcreations.com/shop Contribute...

THAD: A valance is a simple upgrade you can do to cover up this track, because you can wrap it with some decorative fabric and really punch some color into the room. What we need to do first is take these measurements and find out just how far we need to come off of the wall to be able to return down and give us that nice finished face. Our measurements will be 5 inches; our next measurement that we want is on this track, fifty-two and three-quarters. Okay, forty-eight and five-eighths...So let's start by making a five-inch mark here and a five-inch mark down at the bottom, and then we're gonna use this snap line to establish a straight line for you to cut down the whole length of this plywood. GLENN: Alright. THAD: You pull it really tight so there's no slack in the line, and then ...
