Hope everyone’s week is off to a good start!
Supplies you’ll need:
Drill
Drill
L Brackets
{As you can see, I was concerned about the weight and size of my valance and I got a little overzealous with my brackets. I didn’t realize I had gotten corner brackets until I took this picture!}
Screws
I used the screws below for attaching the brackets to my board. The screws that came with the bracket didn’t seem big enough to me.
Anchors for dry wall, plaster, etc.
I used the bracket as my guide on where to drill my holes on my board. I first marked where the holes should be drilled on the board, then drilled the appropriate size hole for my screws.
Then I secured the bracket to the board with the screws mentioned above.
Now it’s time to hang the valance on the wall.
Mark your bracket holes on the wall and drill holes to fit the anchors {if needed…If you have hit a stud, you don’t need the anchors.} At this point, I had to enlist help to hold the valance while I drilled.

I first drilled the left side, {marked it and drilled the holes, tapped in the plastic anchors, and then drilled one screw in to get a somewhat secure anchor} then marked where the second bracket would go and did the same thing on the right side. I finished it off with drilling the rest of the screws through the bracket and into the wall.
Here’s what the bracket looks like in the wall. As you can tell a bit from the marked wall, it wasn’t the easiest task to complete!
I hung the brackets about 6″ above the window.
This is how it looked once it was hung!
The light you can see in the top left corner has been replaced by something a bit more up to date, and labels have been made for some of the organizing pieces in the space.
I’ll share the final after photos hopefully later this week!
