I’m hell bent on finding the perfect va-va-voom fabric for my bedroom drapes, so I went ahead and ordered a bunch of samples from Fabric.com. Here’s a peek, then at the bottom I’ll tell you what I’m leaning towards.
Shantung Bangelore Tan
Waverly Matelasse Tonga Snow
Dupioni Silk Iridescent Ice Blue
Waverly Sally Embroidered Stripe Nest
Waverly Matelasse Checked Out Frost
Dupioni Silk White Hyacinth
Premier Prints Barber Taupe/Robin
Dupioni Silk Iridescent
Shimmer Back Shantung Light Blue
Dupioni Silk Iridescent Aqua Chameleon
Now It’s possible that drapes sewn from the Premier Prints Barber Taupe/Robin, topped with a thick, 12″ border of the plain white Dupioni silk would be sweet. But I’m not sure I want a pattern. I’m still leaning towards a simple set of plain silk drapes.
Either way, that Taupe/Robin pattern will probably be purchased just for throw pillows.

Taupe Robin for throw pillows and dupioni silk for drapes (in white) sounds good to me! Do you have a seamstress or will you be making all this DIY style?
Oh, I can sew! “Sew,” I’ll be making it all myself. 🙂
Yup! Taupe/Robin was my pick!!!!
I like to keep drapes simple so I can change my mind, but that aqua chameleon is calling to me….
that was my pick as well 🙂
stripes please all the way!!
love the taupe and blue- though can’t tell from the picture whether it’s a textured cloth. in which case non-textured would keep the look more streamlined.
I LOVE the Taupe/Robin pattern. I’m totally into all things birds right now. My whole desk area is bird themed. I just got some bird return address labels in the mail. Wheee!!
