I love these Willow and Sheep Valances:

The Ohio Star valances are cool, but might not work with our new home decor.

These Honey and Spice curtains would brighten up just about any room. They would look great in the kitchen.

Cabin Quilt design is much more subdued than the Honey and Spice, but very rustic / country feel to them.

These Homestead design valances might just do the trick. Simple design for simple folks living in the country. (Even though we're really not that far out in the country.
