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.
Thank you!! I appreciate it!
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.
Hahaha, thanks man!
You said it before I could. Lol
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. 🤩🙏
What a fantastic addition to an already lovely home. 👍
Thanks I appreciate it!!
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.

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🇨🇦
Awesome!!
Great job, it looks a lot better now
I think so too!
Love the cross😁
Beautiful work!
Thank you!
You make it looks so dang easy!! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!!
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.
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!
Awesome man, thanks for watching!
Great job I love what you did to your window
Thank you!!
Great job very elegant.

Haha it fits with this house though!
Love it!!
Thank you!
Another great video sir and great idea they look wonderful
Thank you!!
Looks awesome 👌
Thanks!!
wow. looks great.
Thanks!!
Nicely done!!!
Thanks!!
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.
Haha right on!
Thank you!
looks great!!!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for the info, great teaching project
Thanks for watching!
I'm a British architect and I can tell you these 'pelmets' are very impressive.
Nice work brother. Looks fantastic
Thanks! 👍
Great video John
Thanks man!
Nice clean work!
Thanks!
Hey man that looks great and seems pretty cheap . Thanks brother God bless
Thank you! 👊🏼
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.
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Man U have a dream work shop .. awesome 👏
Thanks for watching!!
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!
Haha sorry man! 😂
@@JohnBuildsIt Haha, all good man. Keep up the great videos!
Nice project!
Thanks!!
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 😃
Haha, thank you!!
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.
Nice!!
Great job buddy
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Very nice!
Thanks!
good job 👌
may God bless you.
Thank you!!
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.
Great vid
Thanks for watching!
Hello! Great video and guidance. I just built 5 of them! They look amazing! Wish I could post pictures. Thank you! 👍💪
Awesome!!
solid!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic job!!!! Omg, this project was executed to sheer perfection. Love your eye for detail. Windows look amazing!!❤
Wow...
Nice job.
I want to makes these.
I immediately subscribed after watching.
Thanks for watching!!

🙋♀️ Same!
I'm a follower now!
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.
They make such a huge difference!
I like em.
Looks pretty good, definitely makes the room look more expensive.
I agree, thanks for watching!
Cool! I’ll take 3 please! 🤣
👌🏽👌🏽
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!
Yeah boy!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
thank will build windows for my room
Oh thats really nice man the wife will love this who deserves the brownie points me or you lol
Haha all you man!
Shit hot, mate. We’ll done and thank you.
very nice, i'm worried about showing my wife this video, if i do she will want them this weekend
Haha I hear ya on that!
HI John--excellent job!!! I couldn't build these in 100 days and mine still wouldn't look anywhere near as good as yours
Haha I appreciate it, nothing to these though!
🙌
Awesome job John. Exactly what I was thinking and looking for. Can you tell me more about the Cleat? What did you use? Thanks
Just a 1x2 if I’m remembering right
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?
Yea!
Thank you very much, this is extremely useful!
Thanks for watching!
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.
Man I always do and in all my other videos I am haha guess I just forgot here only being a few quick cuts. Thanks for watching!
Love it. Exactly what i want to build. How many hours did it take someone with your experience to build one?
Maybe a couple hours to get materials and build! With fast drying primer and paint they were done in a day👍🏽
What type of cleat did you use?
Where the French cleats in your material list? How did you attached them to the wall?
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!
I’d feel confident hanging on them with my body weight haha any decorations will be fine 👍🏽
What did you add behind the crown to add strength? They look 👍
Just beads of glue. Sometimes I use dowels for more glue surface
Great job! Looks good. Where did you get the curtains?
I think Kohls. Was probably 5 years ago though!
Hi John - Great video and I am going to start working on a small bedroom cornice after seeing your work. Quick question what are the dimensions of the pre-primed pine that you were working with? Primarily the height of each board. Thanks a ton
They’re 1x8s, so 7.25 wide 👍🏽
I might do that in my room to block the light from hitting the ceiling
yep that's a great benefit of them!
Very nice job ❤,what is that nail gun your using?
