Window valances are a simple way to add interest and beauty to your windows. They can either stand alone to create a striking fashion statement, or be hung in conjunction with other window treatments, such as drapes, sheers or blinds. You can use a ready-to-hang valance or make your own.

Valances come in a wide variety of designs and fabrics to create the perfect feel in your home. They can be formal or casual, free-flowing or constructed. Here are a few popular valance types.

Balloon valances have a puffy, cloud-like appearance when hung above a window. Sometimes, to accentuate the fullness of the valance, theyre stuffed with tissue paper or newspaper. Theyre generally made of lightweight fabric, and used for a more casual look.

Swag valances are created when a long scarf of fabric is hung across the top of the window, and secured by decorative sconces or brackets, resulting in a graceful drape of fabric on the window. A swag is sometimes simply hung over a curtain rod. They can be used on many different types and sizes of windows: short or long, narrow or wide. Lightweight fabrics work best in this application, as theyre easier to arrange and they hang nicely. They can be used to create a casual look or more of a polished look.

Pleated valances provide a way to create a formal look. Theyre generally constructed of stiffer, heavier fabrics to better hold their shape. Lighter weight fabrics can be used, but are generally attached to a heavier backing for added support.

Valances can also alter the look of a window by the way theyre hung. Theyre generally hung over the top of the window, in such a way that the bottom of the valance covers the top of the window. As a rule, they shouldnt cover more than one-third of a window. They can also be used to visually reduce the size of a tall window. Longer valances can give the appearance of a smaller window behind it. Or they can bisect a window, similar to a caf curtain, to create a look on the lower portion of the window.

Beginners and experts alike can use valances to change the look of a room. You can find ideas anywhere, from home design books, to magazines to the internet. Valances dont have to be store-bought to be attractive. A little creativity can go a long way toward creating the home dcor that fits your lifestyle.

If you shoot a bird can the bird sue for personal injury? Yes, in fact they can and in fact the Sierra Club has sued the Federal Government on behalf of rare breeds of mosquitoes, rodents and spotted owls; even a desert turtle who was lost on a dirt road. So in fact personal injury lawyers can sue for birdshot or injury. If the shot resulted in the death of a bird you might even be able to get much more? Who knows?

Well this is all probably irrelevant to you, but have you ever thought that a trial lawyer might sue for getting birdshot from the Vice President of the United States? Remember when Mr. Cheney shot the trial lawyer from Austin, TX with birdshot? The entire world laughed and cheered him on. No that is a politician who has ball and one I would vote for indeed.

But the trial lawyer could sue for personal injury just like the personal injury lawyer could sue on behalf of the bird right? Sure, that is how the law works. My question is who thinks of this stuff anyway? Well the answer may not be too surprising. You see the only people who think of this stuff are lawyers.

So, the question is why are you searching on the Internet for Personal Injury Lawyers when any case you file would be fraudulent and you got hurt due to your own stupidity? Consider all this in 2006.
