Another decorating question? Drapes for DD

[peach]

DD's room...
She has white furniture, and this bedding from Pottery Barn.



Her walls are pale pink, and she has a chandelier that has some pink crystals. I think it's pink enough for me...no more pink or it will be overkill.

Her drapes are white...if I switch them out, I wanted to do yellow in a dot or a stripe. But Pottery barn doesn't have any drapes in yellow. Can't find anything cute for a kids room that is yellow on Overstock, West Elm, or half price drapes.com.

These are the drapes I want really bad. In yellow. But they don't make them in yellow.


If I cannot find yellow, what other color would you do? PB only has drapes in pink, lavendar, or green. I don't really want to bring in green. I'd love to do lavendar, but her bedding doesn't have any lavendar and her room has none either. Would it be too random? I could add in some lavendar accents I guess...but I really had my heart set on a cheery yellow!

I think green would be really cute, I love pink and green as a combo. Is there any particular reason you don't want green?

DH hates green.

I like the idea of yellow too. Why do you want to switch out the white drapes? Maybe you could add some yellow ribbon to the edge of them.

Like this:



Can you sew? Tonic Living has some fun yellow fabrics.

Because I want to use her white drapes in the nursery. And I want to add some color to her room, it's looking a bit unfinished and it's bothering me.

I just saw your post that you're switching them to the nursery. Do you only want the polka dot or any matching yellow would be okay?

[peach]

I love the polka dot because it matches the fabric in her bedding. But I looked for other yellow drapes too and found none at any trusted websites that ship to Canada. A soft yellow or a yellow stripe would work too..

But we have no target, no JCP, no macys, etc. Sears and home depot are about it and both were duds. So online it is.

What about these??

I vote yellow. You can buy the fabric and make them - either the dots, checks or stripes. You can even do this if you do not sew by using iron on tape on tape. Measure desired finished length - add 7 inches. Fold over 2 inches on top and use iron on tape. Fold over 1 inche on the bottom - press, then fold another 6 inches and use iron on tape . (You want the extra weight on the bottom) Add clip rings - and you are done. Much less costly.

Bed Bath and Beyond ships in Canada and they had these:



maybe a little too saturated though. Have you looked in store at Fabricland? They have a really big selection of ready to hang curtains/drapes. I bought some for DD1 there last month.

I'm really liking those striped ones I just found...PIP above. Think I might just get them.

I prefer to polka dot ones like you but the striped ones are okay. Can you find fabric? I'd be willing to sew them for you.
