I have been VERY selective when trying to find the right valance for my kitchen because I have a bay window and needed 5 valances total. I wanted the curtains to be solid but still let light in, look delicate but not necessarily BE delicate, had to be the right length, etc. (A LOT of requirements, I know!) These valances check every box. They are perfect. Beautiful, delicate...yet sturdy, clean and crisp. They're little pricier than your typical white valance, but I found them to be worth it. I highly recommend!
