Good morning Monica!

That is a great post. That looks like a great place to visit.

How to make an upholstered cornice? you may ask...?

First you measure the window from left to right. The upholstered cornice should be about 4" wider the the window frame.

The dust board should accommodate the window treatment that will fit inside it..

For a duette shade you need 3"

For drapes about 5" got the idea?

You cut 1/2" plywood to size. than you nail the dust board and the two side returns.

Now that you have a cornice board you should staple the padding on the face of the cornice board and then apply the

fabric with staples. Make sure to follow the design of the fabric so it will look presentable.

Good luck

Monica, Kemah sounds like a great place to live and visit!  Love the idea of being in a smaller community with lots of things going on and still be so close to the big city!  :-)
