Dear James: We are remodeling on budget, so I thought adding window cornices would help. How do I determine the best size, and how can I make them myself?—Jennie R.
Dear Jennie: For a dramatic improvement in any room’s decor, making and installing cornices over your windows is a wise choice. They add a decorative touch while hiding the curtain and drapery rods and hardware. They don’t need to be extremely ornate, so building them is a do-it-yourself job that most people can handle easily.
