Or some ribbon trim like this one?:
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

Ohhh I love the pelmet and I’m dying to see the grasscloth wallpaper go up. The inspiration for Greta’s room is gorgeous.
I found the artist Paul Villinski he other day and thought of Greta’s moodboard. His work seems to be the same as the butterfly art over the bed in your inspiration image, and surprisingly the butterfly’s are made from recycled aluminum cans.

Oooh how fun! I love the nailhead trim and ribbon trim ideas. Can’t wait to see how you make one!
I didn’t think I was a fan…until now! It’s going to look amazing!! Love the mood board.
Salivating!! Can’t wait to see Greta’s room done. I am loving the mood board!
Those both look really nice, Kelly!!
No, I think we’ll go with sheers and a solid curtain–and maybe add some coordinating green trim. I like to get it all up and THEN add more if I think it needs it. :)
I had no idea that when they weren’t flowy they were called cornices. I have the flat board type all over my house. I usually keep mine really simple, so they are just sort of boxes. I really like bringing them all the way up to the ceiling. I love the idea of nail head trim!
I recently made one for our kitchen http://www.aswellplacetodwell.com/2012/09/kitchen-valance.html
And you can catch a glimpse of the one I have up in our daughter’s room in this post. http://www.aswellplacetodwell.com/2012/05/my-favorite-room.html
I think yours will look great with the fabric you chose.
Very good idea! Will the curtains themselves be the same fabric?
