    Would you call this a *valance* or *window trim* ? I've been getting both and not sure how to best present the video title.
    Thanks for watching and consider *subscribing* !

      I realize I'm 3 years late to the party, but around here it would be called a cornice. Good job! 👍

    Another possibility- buy a baseboard piece from Home Depot then cut to fit across top of blinds. Paint with color of choice. Purchase super magnets and double stick heavy duty Velcro. Place magnets on back of wooden piece baseboard piece. using the Velcro to secure them. Place another set of magnets on front facing side of blinds (if metal) and distance them to line up with the magnets on back of wood piece. Place your new valence on top of blinds so magnets line up and you’re done. This is only if you want a valence to cover the metal mechanism at the top of the blinds and don’t want the valence to extend beyond your window width.

    By filling in the top, as well as the appearance benefit, you would also get the energy saving benefit of interrupting the convection currents over the cold glass surface.

    The best part of the vlog was "don't do that." The installed valance looks nice.

      Definitely give it a shot. Buying the wood brand new and a little bit of paint is about $5 a window - so not bad.

    Nice simple idea however I would be concerned that since you nailed the trim valance board up it will be difficult to remove the blind for cleaning, replacement, etc.. In other words, it will be difficult to remove the blinds. One of the comments below had a good idea of using baseboard combined with magnets on the back side that would work well on blinds that have a metal head rail.

      If you use the magnet method there is nothing to do but take it down as there are no nails, screws or anything. Number of magnets needed will depend on how wide your window is and how heavy the piece of wood you chose.
