box valance curtain combo

here’s a update on home decorating project #1

before thanksgiving, we had taken down our curtain rods and painted the walls raw silk. i then decided to bring  a 6′ wall shelf and peg board up from the lower level and place it over the window.  the holidays hit, the garland and lights went up, and that is where it ended until last week.

(sorry no picture of the bare shelf but trust me there’s pegs hidden in that garland!)

i wanted to cover the top of the shelf and have curtains at the side with out putting up any additional hardware. so, i did this …

the box valance is the black and ivory ticking stripe. attached to that is a the small black and ivory check, softly pleated. I serged off a ribbon of the black and ivory toile and placed it over the seam joining the two treatments. i like it!

not positive what’s next. i like layers, so, perhaps a quilted piece (triangle) over the shelf over the middle ….. something I can change out seasonally or whenever the mood hits. what am I hanging from the pegs?  don’t know the answer to that question either!  I’ll let you know.

have a great week!
