Ah, I’m so happy to have FINALLY decided on fabric for my living room/breakfast room drapes! It’s only been about three months that I’ve been eyeing my naked windows with contempt. And unlike before, this time, I’m hiring a friend to sew them for me! Here’s the sample fabric:
The drapes will go on the far ends of the living room windows too. It will be so nice to have the added visual interest and something to draw the eye up (still need to raise the mirrors!) p.s. I can’t believe I got a shot out the window without just a bunch of glare- I played around with the manual settings on my camera but have no idea how I stumbled into the settings. Centsational Girl recently did an awesome tutorial.
I was even able to get a shot of the view from inside our doors.
Okay, I digress, but back to the fabric- look at all these little free samples I collected at High Fashion Home.
I can’t wait to show y’all the finished result!
love that fabric, those will look great!!
ReplyDeleteOoooh ...I like it! Drapes are a big decision, especially in the main room of the house! I've been looking at an Ikat pattern for our family room but I'm having commitment issues. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! There are some other samples in that massive collection you have that I am loving too! I need to head to HFH this weekend! Can't wait to see how they turn out!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun. Can't wait to see the window treatment!

love that fabric. i am obsessed with all things gray right now (and navy). i could totally find a place for that pattern somewhere around here. :)
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is BEAUTIFUL! wow! What is the name of it? Great choice!
ReplyDeleteOh, can't wait to see them done! The fabric is great. Love me some gray!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric!
ReplyDeleteThat looks very similar to something I was eyeing in JoAnn fabric for my kitchen. I love the color and the simple geometric lines. I want to go a bit more modern. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric you chose! It'll look lovely! Can't wait to see the finished result :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you were able to decide between all of those lovely samples. Can't wait to see the final product.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabric! I'm picking out grey and white patterns for my bedroom right now, what is the name of that pattern? I always come home with a handful of swatches and then wish I'd written the name/price down on them for later use.
ReplyDeleteI've been considering that same exact fabric in a slightly darker color for my dining room drapes! I can't wait to see how yours turn out!
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is perfect. It will be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric! My breakfast nook looks very similar and my hubby doesn't get it....Why do we need curtains???....UUUGGGHH...MEN!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that fabric! Can't wait to see the finished product!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePaula
PERFECT!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to the final results!
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric! What a great choice. And, honestly, all of your options were great. You have a wonderful eye for these things!
ReplyDeleteLove it! And that blue dwell fabric with the birds is my absolute favorite! I have a sample of that too!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered a DwellStudio sample for our office yesterday! I've never made my own curtains before but after looking at all of the gorgeous fabrics out there, I don't know why I've waited so long!
ReplyDeleteI love the one you chose!

ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I love your decorating style! I'm loving some of those other fabric patterns, specicially the chevron-looking one. Do you happen to have the names of some of the swatches, that you'd be willing to share??? I've been on an endless fabric hunt...
ReplyDeleteIt's gonna look gooood. Can't wait to see :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that's the spirit-- hire it out girl ;)
Ohh, nice choice! I love the pattern.. striking enough to be a focus, yet neutral enough if you want to change out pops of color. Love it!
ReplyDeleteFeels so lucky to have stumbled upon your blog and now am checking in often!
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate how pretty all those fabrics look so I am sure the decision was tough. But I think you picked perfectly - that one trendy and peaceful at the same time. I am loving how all the room in you house are their own themes but still go really well together. So pretty looking at your photos on a gray winter day in Chicago! ♥

Love the fabric choice!! Can't wait to see it all come together. Even though I can sew and paint, I am sooo all about farming that out to others right now. I have a wonderful Asian woman who does an AMAZING job, so why not let her tackle the upholstery/sewing!! And, I LOVE my painters...a little too much according to my sweet hubby!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love High Fashion Home...fabric heaven. I love the fabric you picked out! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteI love those fabric scraps! I would have had such a hard time deciding, but you did a beautiful job! I am new to your blog... Love it! I look forward to what is next!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to look lovely. I HAVE to hire out. Zero talent in my neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that fabric. We're deciding on drapery fabric right now too, it can be so hard to decide on.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric and I'd love for you to link up your projects to the latest linky party, Saturday Spotlight, hosted by SAS Interiors and Green Door Design. Our 1st edition is this Saturday!! Check it out: http://www.sasinteriors.net/features/
