Was very much  looking forward to this simple baloon valence for my kitchen window.
Ordered the "icecream" color , which is like a vanilla  bean icecream color which is a tad more white than cream(which was fine with me) 
The problem is :
It is NOT lined ,so with the light color stuffing it with bubble wrap or white tissue paper you can still see through it & makes it look awful!
If you purchase the darker colors the stuffing will probably work!
Therefore,  I will probably forgo  the stuffing effect & leave as is.
Also, $18.00 is really uncalled for since it's such a thin , unlined piece of fabric.
I will keep it , while I wait for my pine colored blinds to arrive  & think the look I was going for will be complete.
