We moved in our home over 6 years ago. It was fixer-upper so we have had to do sooooo much to it.
I have never been happy with the style until recently looking at the blogging world.
I have learned easy cheap tricks to make it more homey.
I have learned easy cheap tricks to make it more homey.
One trick was fabric. Curtains or cornices add the same element like eyeliner does to the face.
It frames and softens the room. So, guess who I employed?
Careful, that is a staple gun! With his help, he made these. No sewing involved.
- Cut the board to fit over your window.
- Pad it with padding.
- Staple it up. Easy as pie! (It would have taken me longer because I’m fraction challenged.
- Thank God, my hubby loves numbers. He also likes to use a staple gun. He bought it for me, HA!)
This one went in our library.

Aren’t they beauties? Eventually, I might add sheers to cover the “office look.”

Next project will be my lamps!

I love me a good cornice – it keeps things neat while looking finished. Beautiful fabric :).
Hye, that is really quick and easy. I am going to show that tomy husband. I am from SITS and I did read your stuff, but when I first came to your site I went right to the Office Remodel!
I am thankful that my MIL is cancer free. My favorite tradition is making all of the food, cooking all day and then being too tired to eat!
I love that look too!! Great job!
That looks lovely! 🙂
Very nice finishing touch. You are fortunate your husband doesn’t mind helping!
Those are beautiful.. again I ask can I borrow your hubby?? He can teach mine a few tricks lol.. AND I have nearly 4 acres the kids can play on and run and run and run rofl
That looks so good:) It’s amazing what a little color will do. I still have not added window treatments in my house. I’m like you and have had to do so much that that has not made it to the top of the list yet.
So cute. I love that fabric! I love cornices. I really wanted to make some for my kitchen makeover but couldn’t figure out how to do it with our kitchen nook angles.
Yours is awesome!

What a great idea!
Nice job! I am a big fan of the staple gun…and the hot glue gun…and the sewing maching…ah…not so much. Wonderful cornice board treatment!
I love this technique! We have used it in our living room. Now I need to get around to putting one in our bedroom!
This looks great and easy to do! Love it!

They look great! I like that it was easy to do!
Absolutely fantastic!! nice blog too, very easy on the eyes!
I have almost EXACTLY the same identical fabric covered cornice over my sliding-glass doors. My brother built the box, and I covered it in fabric (with my staple gun!). Even the fabric is almost identical. I should email you a picture! Great minds think alike!
That looks great! Your hubby did good!
very nice!
