Use metal wall art as a valance on windows. I don't care for a curtain or cloth valances. I purchased a long metal wall art (looked like ivy on tree branches) when a local store was going out of business and was looking for a good place for it. When I held it up to the top of the window, I knew I had found it a home. Really looked nice. I have gotten a lot of comments and some have said they would never have thought to use it in that way.
