On this website the BG is white so you can't see all the header...
Here's a Screen Shot:

If you have any ideas to make it better, they are welcomed!

Thank you for looking!

Edit:
After 2-ton's suggestion I got this idea...Maybe it's what she was trying to say but not sure.

Thank you for the comments and compliments!

About the texture, I get that by using a gradient with the pen tool with jitter then use overlay.

it's lovely...maybe you can make it more 3-D but adding sides and a thickness to the top, giving them a slight perspective so it looks kind of real? IIRC, curtain boxes stick out from the walls a bit further than the curtain rod.

My only suggestion and I think this is really important one is that you have to reduce the size of the file because it took me a few seconds more than the usual to load the picture. You have to reduce the size of the image. You can install the save for the web plug-in from the Gimp Plug-in Registry at http://registry.gimp.org/node/33 . Other than that, really good job. :clap
