Finally Finished!

We have this great big window in our bedroom that looks out to a fantastic view. We never ordered blinds for it, for fear that it would ruin the picturesque scenery. Not wanting to have the neighborhood watch us while we sleep, however, I came up with this idea.

I like cornice boards, but didn't want one with a fabric cover. I explained my idea of creating a decorative wooden one to Darren, and he thought I was nuts. He begrudgingly acquiesced. These are just a couple of baseboards from home depot. I did my own version of faux wood painting--tricky, eh?
The cornice board hides the rod and drapery rings, so we can close our curtains.....baum chicka wha wha! ;-)
Darren got a little ambitious at the end, and fastened some rope lighting behind the cornice for ambiance. It's nice to have it finished!
