Gary, thanks for posting this. We removed the valance on my side of the bed because one or the other of us was forever catching on it and pulling the screw out. But that created 2 other problems. Light comes in along the edges and right into my eyes. Most mornings not a problem as we are early risers. But sometimes I would like to wait a little longer to get up. Bigger problem is if the window is open at night. The dang blinds swing and clunk against the wall with every puff of breeze. This looks like an easy and attractive solution. Hope to get this done before we head out in about 2 weeks.
