That tape trick was brilliant and the centering to do solo install. Wow. Love what it did to that space. Makes the room look more taller and spacious.

Those turned out gorgeous!

That made a big difference. Another great video. I need to make sure my wife doesn’t find this channel or I am going to be busy.

A TON of great advice packed into this straight-forward, concise video. I'm not sure I would've thought to do any of these without having watched it. Thank you! • Buying the pre-primed pine to save money • Using painter's tape to line up the mitered corners • Cutting the crown molding nested and upside down to avoid beveling the miter saw • CA glue bridge to reinforce the crown mold's adhesion to the main box • Adding oversized washers to the ends of the curtain rods to prevent the curtain from slipping off • Installing a 1x2 cleat to mount it rather than a handful of angle brackets • Lining up the cleat with the ceiling rather than window itself You've saved me a lot of time. I seriously appreciate it. *cue end-of-comment jingle* "Save big money at Menards."

What a fantastic addition to an already lovely home. 👍

Fantastic! My husband just built a 3,000 sq. Ft. House and was going mad bcs I want a cornice. He watched this and got some great pointers. Thank you🇨🇦

So pretty - but seriously...THE WORKSHOP is amazing!

I just got finished with mine and wouldn't have attempted but your video was spot on. I did everything you did and turned out amazing. I cant thank you enough for sharing your expertise. The tape trick and crown cuts were a game changer for me!!

Very nice project that adds a nice character to the space.

Wow, man. Knocked it out the park 👏👏👏

Wow, that looks great! I want to build an entire box with wood on all four side. And then I can attach curtains/blinds to that. But. I may just do it this way.

That LOOKS awesome!!!!!! You're really good at explaining.

Beautiful little helper you have there!🥰❤️ and I absolutely love this idea! Made a huge difference, great work again John

I'm a British architect and I can tell you these 'pelmets' are very impressive.

Loved the video!! It made a huge visual difference and really looks beautiful!! Loved that darling baby girl in the Intro as well!

Amazing , you are truly professional. Thanks!

I came here looking for ways, primarily, to mount cornices I want to build to hide 6 wall-mounted, upward shining light fixtures (which look all the world like they were made from rain gutter.) The largest alteration from your installation is that I think I'd simply need to mount it upside-down! (If I get so fancy as to add crown molding, I'd attach that right side up, of course.) Since mine would have a 'bottom' rather than a 'top' I could mount the wall cleat below the fixtures, place the 'bottom' below the cleat and screw upwards, through the bottom and into the cleat. (My very simple and basic original design was to leave top and bottom open to save material costs.) Maybe I'll add one small, inconspicuous, L-bracket, over-hanging the top of each side, to prevent the top edge from pivoting out. -Thanks for the ideas!

These are gorgeous! I'll be using yours as a reference point for mine when I build them. You did a fantastic job with the instructions.

This is IMPRESSIVE!! I don't have the tools to do this myself...I don't suppose you travel to do this for other people 😃

I m making this, love the way they look on your window, wow what a difference

Great idea with the window box and a great video start to finish.

Wow this is what I’m looking for my window how i wish my husband can do like this

Great finishing touch for the windows and curtains! Another great project and video!

love your work and art skills

Great job I love what you did to your window

Wow... Nice job. I want to makes these. I immediately subscribed after watching.

Nice build. I did something similar, but 4 sided with a back piece against the wall, to hide my zebra shades. I'm okay with curtain rods showing, but hate the look of most blind tops. They not only hide them, but also allow me to hold the blind mounts without the need to screw them into the window frames or walls and are solid unlike many mounts that rely on drywall anchors.

I grew up in a house with custom cornices in every room but the basement. We had fluorescent indirect lighting over the longer ones. Never thought how nice those were till I was building my own house. I didn't do it but building some now.

Great project, John. Great job as always. Thanks for this one.

Love everything you do. Never miss a video but the cornice look takes me back to 1990

Hello! Great video and guidance. I just built 5 of them! They look amazing! Wish I could post pictures. Thank you! 👍💪

Absolutely beautiful!! Really gives the room an elegant look.

I’ve never considered adding these to my home but now thanks to you and this video, my list of projects just grew. LOL Great job!

That really created a WOW effect in the room. I think this is a winter project for me! Great work.

Will be hanging mine tomorrow. Thank you for your awesome video.

Thanks for the post. I had to make mine 9' long so I added to support brackets in the middle. Also the width was 10" so I used MDF instead of pine.

Love the cross😁

Fantastic job!!!! Omg, this project was executed to sheer perfection. Love your eye for detail. Windows look amazing!!❤

Looks pretty good, definitely makes the room look more expensive.

Cool! I’ll take 3 please! 🤣

Absolutely beautiful

Thanks for the info, great teaching project

Beautifully done!. What a difference! 💕💝💗💖

this is f... good! I was going to build a simple bulkhead with drywall and you gave me a new approach to (I learned the word just now) pelmets.

Great job very elegant.

Wow! Looks great!

These look great. Very enjoyable video. Thanks for posting.

Great job, it looks a lot better now

Makes a huge difference 👊🏻

good job 👌 may God bless you.

Followed your general procedure and it worked like a charm! Great tips and video!

Smashing job and now I have to get off my duff and try those in the bedroom. I just have two to do, each about 4ft in length so thanks for the inspiration and sharing what you do!

Nice work brother. Looks fantastic

Excellent work. Very nice addition

Nicely done!!!

Love it! Thank you so much for sharing. I don't need to research anything else. I'm sure it will look awesome once done. 🤩🙏

Beautiful! I love them!

thank will build windows for my room

I like em.

Yeah boy!

HI John--excellent job!!! I couldn't build these in 100 days and mine still wouldn't look anywhere near as good as yours

Shit hot, mate. We’ll done and thank you.

Damn son, that’s awesome. Where are you located

I might do that in my room to block the light from hitting the ceiling

This is almost exactly what I was looking for, thanks for doing this. One question I have is, how would I do it so that it mounts to the ceiling, would it just be a matter of finding the ceiling studs and screwing through the roof of the pelmet into the ceiling studs?

🙌

Great stuff as usual! No eye protection while using the miter saw? As an emergency room tech I've seen it all, and it's only a matter of time, Brother.

so all I need to get is a miter saw, a spray gun, and the supplies...............ugh. Wish you lived near us! Would definitely hire YOU!

What did you add behind the crown to add strength? They look 👍

Awesome job John. Exactly what I was thinking and looking for. Can you tell me more about the Cleat? What did you use? Thanks

Where the French cleats in your material list? How did you attached them to the wall?

Could you please tell me the measurement on the side pieces? It looks like 4" or so? Your video is amazing! Thanks!

This inspired me to do the very same. I used a 1x2 anchored into the header with 6 deck screws and the cornice is also attached with 6 deck screws. Any idea on how much weight you could place on top of this? thinking shelf decorations. Thank you!

Hi there love your cornices. I am planning on making several myself. I was wondering how wide your pine board was? 1x6 or 1x8. Your trim in your house looks similar to what I have in mine. Nice job love the cornices.
