Have I mentioned I'm in love?

For months, literally months, I've been looking for fabric to make a Roman Shade to go in the dining room. I need two shades, one for the window and one for the door. I have grey curtains, so I wanted something patterned to compliment the grey curtains and still look really cool. I've come up entirely empty handed in every single room in the house. It's pathetic, really. Grey fabric is really hard to find. (And so is a certain shade of greenish-brown too. Figures.)


And then... I saw this beauty, and my life has never been the same. (OK, so it's been like an hour since I saw this fabric, but I promise, it's all I've thought about.)

I came across the most perfect fabric in this blog post from Freckles Chick, and honestly, I'm quite upset with her for not posing that this fabric existed sooner! But, wonderful woman that she is, there is a link on her post with a place where the fabric can be purchased. I promise, I have my credit card ready.

I suppose I should probably show you this fabric... it has stolen my heart at the moment. I only have eyes for this fabric.



Would that not look fabulous in my dining room?



(Please ignore the fact that there is still plastic on the chairs. It's a pain in the neck to get off. So it's still there. Also, ignore the fact that the curtain rod isn't actually hung up. And that the room is really plain and boring. This picture was taken several months ago and it doesn't look like that anymore!)

I guess I should mention that I'm a fabric-o-holic. Which is sad because I don't sew. :-) But I can't help but lust after it's bright colors and fun patterns! I really should invest in a sewing machine...

So, in all seriousness... can you see that fabric in my dining room? As a roman shade on my window and door? I value your opinion! :-)
