This unique valance offers a casual look that commands attention . A floral motif fabric is cleverly combined with a simple, small scale, striped fabric that peeks through the buttoned back fold. The buttons are custom covered in the same floral fabric. 
The same floral fabric was shirred a 4.5″ continental rod creating a simple coordinating valance for the recessed sink window. A slight ruffle on both the top and bottom of the sleeve gives a nice touch to the the treatment and turns the 5″ sleeve into an 8″ valance. Both styles are simple and tailored enough to accent the vertical blinds, without adding to the business of all the vertical lines.
