pelmet box opinions welcome

By 33 Comments

i made our living room pelmet box last year.
total cost: $22.00

it was really easy.
i followed this tutorial from little green notebook.
the pelmet boxes in her girls bedroom look amazing!
perfection, don’t you think?

when we moved into our 900 sq. ft condo 1 year ago, i knew our deck door was a problem.
i wanted our drapery to hang floor to ceiling but the vertical blinds caused a HUGE eye sore.
that bar, yuck!
i wanted to remove the blinds altogether but we use them.
so for now, i need to work with them!

i changed my curtains a couple months ago.
now i think it’s time to recover my pelmet box.
i am thinking a dark solid with light trim.


what would you do?
would you change it?
