Why My Mother Likes Tailored Window Valances
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 | Standards
Mothers know best. I guess it’s really true. My mother bought new curtains for our windows immediately after the renovation of our bedroom. After a month, I saw another new set of curtains for our bedroom which she bought. Aside from that, she also bought curtains for the living room and kitchen. Did my mother found a new hobby? And that hobby is purchasing curtains every month? Decorating rooms serve as a leisure time for most moms, so I think that’s why she’s “addicted” to curtains. Her addiction in giving designs to the windows magnifies her passion for keeping our home beautiful.
Her taste of curtains was actually pretty and goes along with the wall colors but the ones placed in the kitchen, despite its beautiful design, makes the kitchen darker and a little gloomy and that’s the only problem. I tried looking at the mall for a substitute and found some window valances. Valances can be defined as mini-curtains because they do not cover the whole window. I bought a lavender double-layered valance with inverted pleats that exudes a neat tailored work. It also features beautiful bow and button detailing.
This window valence adds an elegant design in our home. It matches the color of our walls. It’s indeed a great alternative way of using curtains.
