A cornice box has a horizontally disposed upper panel and a vertically disposed forward panel and vertically disposed laterally spaced left and right side panels. Each panel is rectangular and has an exterior surface and an interior surface. A fabric cover has a central section positionable over the exterior surface of the forward panel and end sections positionable over the exterior surfaces of the side panels. The fabric cover has a periphery sized to extend beyond the exterior surfaces of the front and side panels on all sides with fasteners positioned through the fabric cover adjacent to its periphery into the panels.
