Drab to Fab

I had totally different intentions when it came to this fabric.

Isn't it gorgeous. I love paisley patterns and warm tones.

But when I realized that it'd never make it to what I had intended. I did the next best thing...

replaced this...

to THIS!

I made a new valence. I LOVE IT!

Now I just need to work on the rest of the bland walls. Although I have already stripped them of their border at the top and wallpaper below the chair rail and repainted that "Sand Pearl".  Little bit by little bit.
