Their modern, sleek styling enables you to have the look of a board mounted valance without the difficulties associated with ordering, shipping and installing board mounted valances. These valances are custom designed and constructed by me in my workroom and can be sized to fit any window.
Why Choose A Hidden Rod Pocket® Valance
Shipping
It is easier and less expensive to ship a Hidden Rod Pocket® valance than it is to ship a pre-mounted board valance. Upon completion, valances are carefully folded and packaged in the box to be shipped. When the valances arrive they are ready to hang, with minimal ironing needed if any at all.
Installation
The valances are custom sized to fit your window widths and this helps to make installation a breeze! If there is no existing continental rod (flat rod) already installed at the windows, a Quick Installation Template/Instructions will be included with the order to make placing the brackets correctly, quick and easy. If you have existing rods and you don’t want to change to the continental rod style, the Hidden Rod Pocket® system can often be adapted to fit, so just ask!
Quality
The same level of workmanship and attention to detail goes into every valance/product that I make. I consider each valance to be one-of-a-kind pieces of art that will hopefully get to hang in your homes for years to come. When doing multiple windows in the same room I always match the patterns on all the valances so that, to the eye, they function as a unit instead of individual valances.
Uniqueness
I consider Hidden Rod Pocket valances to be unique! I designed them to give the look of a board mounted valance, but without the board! Since you are choosing and providing the fabrics, you will be able to achieve the look that you desire, which will reflect your taste and the style that you want for your home. We make it personal, and that person is YOU!

Testimonials
What Customers are Saying about Black Belt Home Decor
All five custom valances were perfectly sewn and exactly to size, and the two pillow covers were also expertly done. You can hardly see the zipper! I am SO impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of each of these items. They look beautiful and really tie the room together! Plus, Doshie was a real pleasure to work with thoughout this whole project, and her prices are very fair compared to other quotes I got from other custom home decorating businesses.
PURE GENIUS! The first time I contacted Doshie Witcher I wasn’t even sure exactly what I wanted for my bed/bath, but I thought her valance designs were incredible. She was very perceptive and professional in all our conversations, offering solutions and wonderful suggestions.
Her inspired artistry and detailed construction are nothing short of brilliant. You will not find anybody better.
The valance I ordered was sewn to perfection , I was very very pleased with the master craftsmanship and it arrived 2 weeks earlier than was expected . Top notch – she went above and beyond to please and I am in awe
I had 5 valences made and they are absolutely beautiful! The sewing is done perfectly, and the attention to detail in the design and execution is amazing. Three of my windows were technically the same, but due to the building of my home, varied by 1/2 – 3/4 inch — Doshie made each valence to the exact measurement of the individual window so they would be perfect, rather than making them the same. She also placed the pattern just so, so that it looks great and coordinates across all of the windows. Based on measurements and pictures I sent, she planned the lengths of the valences to be the correct proportion for their window sizes. She also sent me hand-made templates for mounting the valence rods, so that it could be done easily without tedious measuring. I highly recommend her — I would give more stars if possible!
This picture does no justice to the product. Beautiful precise workmanship. Zoom in and look at how symmetrical each panel is in regard to the pattern. Doshie did a lot of pre work with me via email to help with choosing the right pattern, fabric, and really kept in mind my budget. She was enjoyable to work with, professional, very fairly priced, and her product is awesome
I can not begin to express the quality and craftsmanship of the valance that was done. Doshie completely exceeded my expectations and I will absolutely recommend her to everyone! To have something fit so beautiful with out her ever stepping a foot in my home amazes me. The packaging was perfect I took them out and hung them up. High priced drapery stores can not hold a candle to her detail. Thank you so much Doshie.
My hubby tells me all the time, when you find something you really like, buy multiples of it. This is my 4th order since February….I’ve learn that lesson well. Outstanding workman ship on this project as well as all my previous orders. This valance was made for my home office which is located in a room off my front doors. When entering now your sight is just drawn straight to the windows in my office and what a sight to behold! A couple other big pluses about Black Belt is……love, love, love the fact that you supply your own fabric. No more brick and mortar stores for me when it come to this type of purchase. Can I tell you how nice it is to go from package to hanging up with no ironing needed? Seriously, never a wrinkle or fold mark to be found.
I ordered the EMILEE valance from Doshie and I am 110% satisfied with my purchase. The quality in these curtains are priceless. They are exactly what I envisioned. And Doshie made my dream a reality. Doshie was fantastic to work with from day 1. She promptly answered all my questions, and offered me a ton of helpful information along the way. I am so in love with my custom EMILEE valance that I am already planning to purchase another one. Thanks Doshie!!!
I’m not sure this picture does Doshie’s work justice, but it is the best I can do. Doshie was such a pleasure to work with. She took time with me to make sure she understood exactly what I wanted. She does amazing work and the valances are so easy to put up! I will definitely be ordering from her again!
