DIY Success!

I am rounding the corner of my 7th month of pregnancy - yikes!  My nesting instinct has kicked in this week in a major way.  One thing I have been wanting to do for a while is to make a window cornice for baby girl's nursery.  Her nursery is very understated and traditional palette-wise, and almost every window treatment I've seen has been too bright or bold for her room.  This weekend Nick helped me make this:

 The material is taffeta, not satin like it looks in these pictures, so in real-life it is more pearly -shimmery than shiny.  Thank goodness.  Here's a closer look:

Here's the best part:  it only cost about $40 to make, including the sheer curtains and curtainrod.  We used a plan from the DIY network online, and it just took about an hour to put together.  I'm so happy with how it turned out!  What do you think?
