You'll also see the design I came up with to make an upholstered cornice (also sometimes called a valance) that is a simple and inexpensive way to dress up the top of the window and hide the existing plastic cornice that's not so pretty. Saying goodbye to those vertical blinds felt so good and my curtains and DIY upholstered cornice/valance completely changed the look of the window, adding that much-needed touch of style and architectural detail to my apartment. Plus, it's an easy way to decorate in a small apartment on a budget!
