Short Stories today!
Have you ever seen a contour gauge? It's like a metal comb, used to capture the silhouette of shaped objects. Best place to find this: local mom and pop hardware stores.
I used mine recently to document the silhouette of this crown molding. After taking down that valance, we'll be mounting a flat roman shade all the way up. It will have a faux top following the molding shape, with a dropped dustboard for the clutch. Look for it here in about 3-4 weeks.
The most important tip I can share is this: trace that silhouette onto paper BEFORE you put the contour gauge away, so the shape doesn't get lost in your bag!
