I like what you’ve done – very elegant looking

Actually, I thought the vertical blinds went out in the 90’s, but I like what you’ve done with them. It definitely makes them look a lot better.

Wow, I didn’t know anyone was using v-blinds, either! Still, you did a great job on the valences…really classes ‘em up!

thanks everyone ! verticals are very much alive and well here , along with shutters . lol maybe they came here to retire like everyone else ! lol

Nice job,I use to build window valance for a couple of interior designer they where blanks that they covered with batting and cloth I build headboards for them also. I use to try to get them to carry the wooden ones I build, but they just wasn’t into them, I still build a lot wooden shelve valances, my country style ones are the one that seem to sell the best, next time I make some I’ll have to take some pictures of them, I also sold a bunch I made from barn wood which surprised me I made some plate shelve for a friend I know and then she wanted to know if I could make her some window valance out the barn wood, then her mom wanted some, then a friend, then I ran out of barn wood. mines pretty simple just a mitered box shelve with an overhand and a little scroll work bracket, yours looks more like some mantles I have made. Oh I did do a raised panel one in a house I trimmed but it had raised panel ceiling and walls it was a study for doctor for a while there it was hard to find the door…lol

The extra boxes and shelves make these blinds look much better than before. Nicely done.

thank you bill

Actually, both vertical and horizontal blinds are coming back!!
Lots of wooden ones in horizontal ones and with the verticals there is a sheer kind of “glued” on it that gives it a
more dressy look!

MRTRIM
Sure wish you had been around when I was working the “blind” business.
They are just fantastic!

thanks eklectic, i think they are used more here because of the amount of intense sun we get . the fabric wants to get bleached out . even the pvc type verticals tend to get a bit brittle over time

Plus a lot easier to clean than fabric as well. Nice work MrT.
