Decisions, Decisions

   So, I thought I had made a decision about the window coverings going in Elliott's room.  I had decided not to use the sailboat fabric there but to instead make a pillow out of it so it wasn't such a large focal point in the room.
   My idea was to look for a graphic fabric that I though would last longer in his room and give it the funky vibe I was looking for. Then I would make a roman shade out of the fabric.  Here are the fabrics I found online that I like.

    These fabrics are from Tonic Living.  I have ordered pillows from them before and they turned out perfectly.  They are a Canadian company that has great fabrics at reasonable prices, and I don't have to pay duty and extra shipping to get them across the border.

   However, none of these fabrics relate to the sailboat fabric.  Which means I probably won't be using it in the room.  I'm going to put it away and hope I can use it on some other project, some other time. Let's just say that my husband isn't so thrilled about spending money on this part of the project twice.

  Here's a reminder about the paint colours I have chosen for the room.

 I don't know why I always go about this so backwards!  I know you should choose fabrics and then pull your paint colours from them but somehow, I always make that mistake and then I'm stuck like this with walls already painted in a colour I love and no fabric.  Maybe it's because I have such a hard time finding fabrics I like here in Canada.

   Seems like I'm moving away from the original design plan for this room.  Some of that is because Elliott has chosen differently than I thought he would.  It's also because I'm having so much trouble making decisions about it.

Today I'm leaning towards the grey chevron fabric.  Any thoughts?
