Window dressing question(s)

15 years ago

I have a two-part question. I'm having a cornice made for the bay window in my kitchen's eating area. For 10 years, I've had white 2" wood blinds on the windows and they will stay and I'm adding curtain panels that will always be pulled to the sides of the windows. I'm adding these because I think some softness is needed. I'm conflicted about what color the cornice should be. Do you think it should be painted white to match the blinds and trim or stained to match the cabinets. Now, question 2: The only other window in the room is over the sink and it has a blind. Should I top that blind with a valance that matches the panels on the bay; top it with a cornice; or leave it alone? Looking forward to your opinions and ideas. Thanks!

Dawn, I'm frustrated. I took pictures but now I can't seem to resize them to fit and my husband, who could do this in about 10 seconds, is out of town. It never occurred to me to submit pictures as it's just a plain bay with blinds; however, after I took them and looked at them it gave me a whole new perspective. There are no cabinets in the eating area, so I think a white cornice that matches the crown will look better. And over the sink I'll do a valance out of the left over fabric from the panels. I said all this to say that your suggestion of pictures is what helped me in the end. It's like my own eyes were a new set of eyes!! Thanks!

That's great if you have it figured out!
