We are looking for a "festive elegant patio" look for the hot tub room so we thought we would use mini-blinds, drapes and valences to set the tone. Since the tub is essentially grey with a white tub and the walls are white and the floor is a light gray, the color had to come from the drapes and it had to be strong enough to compensate for all the neutral colors.

So, SWMBO is making the drapes and valences and I get to do the mini-blinds and valence boards. Today we finally got to hang the drapes and test hang a piece of a valence.

So, what do you think?

I tried to figure out what SWMBO is and the best fit I could find is Some Woman My Brother Owns.

There you go again..... making me laugh. �Last person made laugh that hard was Rodney Dangerfield.

Valence is that black flowered crap near the ceiling.

Just that I can picture you hanging a valance, that's all. Oh, yeah that's what SWMBO means....

I think some critter fur like beaver, muskrat, woodchuck or something would look pretty cool around the edges. Even cowhide, but not like dairy cowhide, more of a crusty lookin' ol' longhorn. For more color, you could do a faux leopard print or ostrich tail feathers with some peacock mixed in for an exotic motif. And beads, hanging beads with sparkles and glow in the dark stars.

The flowers are pretty, though, and I'm sure not knocking your tastes. The room looks really nice and the view from the sniper's perch is to die for!

After being together since 1972 we have learned to live together. She doesn't tell me how to build furniture in my woodshop as long as I don't make any more wooden sex aides on my lathe. In return, I do not have any opinions on decorating as long as she doesn't use sheers or lace.

Well it looks nice but have you thought about the mold problem you are going to have?
