I bought these for my mom's kitchen. I just had the entire house repainted and am redecorating it for her. She is 69 years old and has always had lace/embroidered curtains in the kitchen, so I wanted something a little different for her. She refers to me as her interior decorator and tells me to do whatever I want saying, "... I trust you."
Anyway, her favorite color is blue, so the kitchen and laundry room walls were painted a beautiful bluish/green color that she and everyone else loves. She lives in a 1960's brick ranch with carport. There are two windows in the kitchen - one over the sink and the other overlooking the carport and there is a window in the laundry room that with the door open can be seen once a person enters the kitchen from the living room area. All three windows have this valance and the window that overlooks the carport also has the curtain panels that match (for more privacy).
They all arrived in a timely manner and look exactly as shown in the online picture. I bought the blue color. My mom's valances hang lower on the window than the picture shows because her windows must be shorter. The tassel is a nice feature that adds to the different look of these valances but it does seem larger in person.
