I usually pick 1 or 2 things to focus on and try to improve on at a time and don’t worry too much about anything else.
I went for this really simple look, but you can also add in cording, or beading or really any kind of trim you like along the two “seams” in the middle to separate the three sections.Just make sure you get the kind of trim with a tab on it, so you can tuck it in and leave just the cording or trim showing.
I’m thinking maybe a little bit of red beading at Christmas time!It’s so easy, I just may get carried away here.. To hang them, I just had to drill the brackets onto the wall and push the cornice onto the brackets anywhere in the back fabric tucking spot.Just look at that professionalism!
It’s like I’ve been doing this my whole life!.Here you can see how it butts up right against the cabinets.
The ends were finished by just folding the excess fabric over the ends and then tucking them into the back.
Even if you have a ton of extra fabric, just keep tucking!And he’s always kind of taken a long time to get to it.
And then there’s always all the cursing that goes on whenever he does a project like this.So it’s given me the impression that changing a light fixture is kind of a difficult thing to do that requires some skill and finesse..
Listen up all you finess-less folks!The other day we were putting up a new porch light in the back and I asked Chris if it was something that I could maybe make a post out of.
