I am considering purchasing some of your Premier 2" Faux Wood Blinds. The valance that is pictured with that window blind appears to be a cornice type. In the ordering section, it gives you the option of yes or no for a cornice type valance. What is the other option? Is it a valance that stops at the window frame (I have an inside installation) or does it slightly go outside and over the side of the window?

I have just ordered a sample of the 1" mini blind in the color oak. I had hoped to get real wood but I'm afraid I don't have enough inside mounting space for them. I currently have box store mini blinds and was able to install those with no problem. But my concern is to order custom without being able to see the installation bracket because although I have enough depth for an inside mount there is only half an inch flat surface to attach the screws. The remainder of the woodwork, older home, is curved wood. I would really like to get a sample bracket so I can look at the position of the screw holes.
