Relaxed Roman Valances

I kinda gave a sneak peek of this project to show off my new computer program that I have.  But just wanted to show it off a little more.

This is the beautiful dining area of a gorgeous house I've had the privilege to work in.  The owner just wanted a simple update.



Since the owner never intends on blocking out any of this spectacular light, we just went with faux relaxed roman shade valances.  Doing something "faux" really cuts down on the cost of any window treatment.  We also used the existing hardware.  I just made tabs to slip right the rods right through there.



The fabric was from Greenhouse Fabrics.  The homeowner had great taste!

We also added some gorgeous trim. 



It seriously makes these valances.  Beautiful!!

I kinda feel like "HGTV"

Due to recent successes, I totally splurged on the "Empire" and got a new tool.  It is awesome.  I can go from this:

Before


To this:

 
 
Then finally, to the finished room.

It really helps with visualizing what different window treatments can really do to a room.  I should've made the cute, little dog get back in there for the after picture.
 
Yeah, I'm totally like the "Property Brothers" now.
