This roll-up window treatment, resembles the curtains used in the stagecoaches of the past, thus giving this window treatment its’ clever name, the stagecoach valance. This stationary valance is perfect when using two different fabrics. The main floral pattern is contrasted with a stripe on ties and the bottom roll, creating the illusion that the fabric has actually been rolled up to peer out the window and tied in place. The stagecoach valance can be hung from a board, with returns on the end to cover the edge of the 2″ horizontal blinds, or simply hung from a decorative rod with no returns.
