Addition to Drapes in Guest Bedroom

Have you ever been nagged about something that you made that

 just isn't 'right' to you? 

Well, I have.
 First of all, the window in my blue guest bedroom was built almost up against a wall...(I call it my blue guest bedroom because the ceilings are painted a soft blue and the bedding is blue)

Do you see how close it is to the next wall? Frustrating to make curtains for when the look you are going for is drapery panels. Plus, I don't want to close up the window with curtains because this room is large but the window isn't as large as it should be for this space in my opinion. I know why the builder did it. To make the outside look symmetrical. Look how good the outside looks...
The window in question is the upper left.

Initially, I made silk drapes for only one side. To make it appear that the drapes were just pulled open to one side...(sorry for the poor picture quality. I have not figured out how to take a picture when the camera is pointing to light from the window)

I even made three of those swag valances and ended up only using one. It has always nagged me.That is until I saw this picture on Houzz.com. Do you know about that site? Talk about beautiful homes and ideas you can get on that site!

See the little pleated valance behind the panel? Was that the solution to my problem? I didn't have any more fabric, so by cutting up the two unused swag valances, I made the little pleated valance and used Velcro to attach it to the molding on the window.

 Now you can tell me if it helps or not. Be honest, I can take it!
