I know this is a really old post, but can you explain how you made your window coverings and how each piece is attached. Love what you did to your little egg.

Thanks Nancy_F

So the vance is 2 parts. The material is covering corrugated plastic (stuff lawn signs are made of), wrapped and hot-glued. Then the two pieces glued together...

The sides are fastened with an inner tab to the walls and are deep enough to hold the drop down panels when rolled up. I used a light black foam sheeting (like laminate floor underlay) for the panels and also glued the material just around the edge so it wasn't visible outside (they covered the frame well). That way they are light blocking. The panels just velcro on to the window edges and can be taken right out (for traveling etc). Here you can see how deep the valence is on the kitchen window...

Hope that helps!

Thannk you for your assistance. am still trying to decide which way to go with window coverings. The original curtain rod holders are still in my boler but kinda look ugly and not very strong.
