I love the valances.  The color is a little different than what is pictured.  I purchased the Linen and wanted a little bit more cream/brown.  It had a little bit more of blue in it than I wished for, but it ties together nicely with my apricot walls.  The cream lining is perfect. These valances compare and fair nicely with the curtains I usually purchase, which are a big expense.
