I spend a lot of time in a room that faces my small garden. I call it my Garden Room. I do a lot of handicrafts and writing there. Of course, that was before my beloved Zane who came to live with me.

Ruffled Valance
The renovation of my garden room was completed in December last year, but it took me a few months to get the curtain that I wanted. My daughter patiently accompanied me to drapery shops, though there were not that many in this little town of Ipoh.
I wanted something that allows light in, but at the same time shields the glary afternoon sun. I was apprehensive when my daughter suggested this grey fabric. I didn't like it when I hung it up, too dull, especially at night, when outside was dark.
The ordinary valance has pleats and this would make the curtain looks darker and heavier. I decided that the valance had to be light so as to brighten up the whole thing. I designed this after the ruffles we often see in a bridal gown.
