Beautiful valence for my kitchen!!! My living room, dining room, and kitchen all flow together in my home, so I bought this same curtain and design in the valence, mid-length, and floor-length curtains for all three areas..... LOVE THEM. The valence is a smooth, silky feel, but has some real weight and substance to it, so it does not feel cheap. It feels like I nice, high quality valence... because it is. I love my little kitchen window with this valence in it!!!
