When your exposure insists that the blinds be closed all day to keep that hot sun out why not have something beautiful to look at. This great room has been given new life with a box pleated valance and drapery panels. Made from a faux linen (much easier to handle with less wrinkles) and banded in a rich brown gross grain ribbon. The valance was mounted at the ceiling to make use of the vaulted ceiling and the panels were hung beyond the window frame for maximum views. When this window treatment is open it frames the great outdoors and when closed it adds warmth, cosiness and insulation against the heat and cold.
