$700 or $13.02 - you be the judge... Once I finished overthinking this project, it turned out to be pretty much a nothing burger and I'm delighted with the results.  1/8th inch foam core with old fashioned glued paper tape.

Hell, yeah! That's awesome - you did a great job and you'd never know what it was made from.

Job well done! As I've always said, "If you want something done [right], do it yourself!".

Thanks! I'm proud.

I did feel very Peter Falico... oh I think he's on HGTV but whatever.

Totally worth what seems like a minimal amount of effort to save yourself a huge ton of money. I can't imagine what they'd have done that would have looked $700 better than your solution.

Thanks. I'm very happy with it.

Smart woman!

Are you cool or what? It looks great. Accomplished what you needed to do and wallah! That window seat and mural are awesome.....and your little cover trick makes it spectacular! Enjoy!

I've actually been telling myself the same thing all day! I love how sometimes I'm such a fan of me.

Well done! (and I don't mean steak)

I like your fishies! My sister had something similar done a few years ago, but your work is more bold. I do like her birds (http://www.nezbitthecat.com/pics/birdies.html) a lot, but her flowers (http://www.nezbitthecat.com/pics/fakeflowers.html) and plants (http://www.nezbitthecat.com/pics/fakeplants.html) are boring.

A professional job! Looks even better than a pro.

Who needs to spend $700?
