Fabric Search.
Ever since seeing Julianne Moore’s knack for decorating a few months back in Domino I’ve been obsessed with the color scheme in this bedroom. I’m stealing the wall color for my bedroom and am on a mad hunt for fabric to sew the curtains out of. (The only thing I’m shying away from is the navy bedspread – I’m way attached to my white down comforter.) I love the bright yellow and am not opposed to some sort of pattern (preferably white – circles perhaps?), but want to keep it low-key since the yellow does a lot of talking on its own. I’ve found some nice Kona Cotton in canary yellow at Repro Depot, but am not 100% sold quite yet.
Any suggestions for affordable curtain fabric?

As far as affordable curtains, may I be so bold as to suggest Ikea. I’ve used their curtain panels for the fabric. You can eliminate a tab top that you don’t like, add an accent fabric border, hem to your desired length, etc. I look forward to seeing what you create in your new place. Good luck!
