A decorative member in combination with an elongated support member having a support surface and turned over side edges defining spaced facing grooves of predetermined depth along said edges, said decorative member comprising:
- (a) an elongated substrate having a self sustaining shape, front face and side edges defining a width about equal to the spacing between said facing grooves, said substrate being positionable on the support surface of the support member with the side edges held in said grooves and the front face exposed between the grooves along a central area of the face intermediate the side edges of the substrate;
- and
- (b) a cover member attached to said substrate along said central area and free from said substrate along its side edges, said cover member having a width greater than the width of said substrate and extending outwardly beyond the side edges thereof for covering the turned over side edges of the support member when the decorative member is positioned thereon.
A decoratively covered blind structure comprising:
- (a) an elongated support member having a support surface and turned over side edges to define spaced facing grooves of predetermined depth along said edges;
- and
- (b) a decorative member comprising:
- (i) an elongated substrate having a self sustaining shape, front face and side edges defining a width about equal to the spacing between said facing grooves, said substrate being positioned on the support surface of the support member with the side edges held in said grooves and the front face exposed between the grooves along an area of the face intermediate the side edges of the substrate, and
- (ii) a cover member attached to said substrate along its exposed area, said cover member having a width at least as wide as the width of the support member with the side edges of the cover member covering the turned over edges of the support member.
