DIY: Pelmet Box

I'm in the process of sprucing up the guest bedroom. I don't actually have much of a game plan as of yet, which is very unlike me. I'm kinda winging it, but I'll share as I go along!
First up, over the bed is a small square window. I had thought about making a roman shade like I did in my bedroom, but wanted something different. Then, I remembered that I had  come across a tutorial for pelmet boxes via Little Green Notebook as well. That girl has some great ideas, I tell you!
All you need is some fabric, foam core, duck tape, cotton batting and a staple gun. This project took less than half an hour and it's light as a feather (ie. easy to hang!).

I found the fabric at a local fabric store, I really like the geometric pattern.

You also get a little glimpse of the light fixure in the room:)

I like the simple straight lines, which saved me some time.

You could cut your foam into a more intricate shape like Jenny did for her girls' room.

Well, that's a start anyway! Not sure where I'm heading next with the room, but I'll keep you posted!

Just for fun, here is a couple of pics of my little Beaufort.

With a long weekend and a snow day, he and I have been joined at the hip:)

God forbid be take that bone out of his mouth!

What a grump.. I love this picture.. he looks half asleep and likely is:)
