Then we took the window cornice pieces down.


I bought two sheets of foam board and cut them into strips 4.5" wide.
Then I cut my fabric into 12" wide strips, folded it in half (right sides together) and stitched along one edge.
I then held it next to the cornice, determined the length needed (I had 5 windows, one above the sink, and these 4 I showed you which are two different widths) I then stitched the second end the same way.
Turning it right side out, I then slid the foam board into the pocket of fabric.
Here is a close-up of the side -once it's slid in.




At the back of the cornice, knowing this may not be a permanent thing, I used hot glue to attach the fabric to the cornice, butting the foam board up to the bottom edge of the cornice.
Then stapled the fabric into the cornice a couple of times where the cornice was its widest.
Both the staples and hot glue can be removed later if needed.
One of the things that made this fabric so great for my friends room... her colors are brown, yellow, and burnt orange.
TFL!

LOVE this, I have the same bare bay window area and blinds. Your directions are so easy to follow I think I'll give this a try!
Hey Neen... please share if you do :)
why did you leave the original wall colour around the edges?
We did this in a few places throughout the room. The ceilings are vaulted, and we weren't going to paint the tall ones, so to keep the new painted walls still fitting in, we did this w/ tape and we still need to outline them with a pencil to give it a hard edge and make them pop. I'll have to do another post on this... I do it often :)
