Ok..so my newest home project is something like this..
Since we dont have a headboard for our bed yet and thanks to flipping through a pottery barn magazine i found an idea! They just had a large frame in a bedroom with either fabric/wallpaper in it..i was like perfect! ill make one and hang it above our bed, like a faux headboard..just not as huge as the one in the picture! (which i do really like!)
Im just using a 2 foot by 3 foot frame that i found for 6 bucks at a salvation army, painted it white since it was of course an ugly gold color. Well let me tell you, finding fabric or wallpaper to frame is almost impossible!!! I have been everywhere (lowes, menards, home depot, homegoods, hobby lobby, joanns, crate and barrel outlet..etc!) and havent found anything yet! i found one fabric at joanns but i thought the print was way too small..(it would be nice if i could find whats framed in this damn picture!) and i found some wallpaper at menards..which i took about 40 square samples of to see if i could group them all together in some odd way..well..didnt have enough..and since i took ALL the samples ill have to wait to see if they ever put more out! I grouped all the ones i had and i still dont think theyll work..its just a plain white wallpaper with some stripes that are kind of pearl white..very pretty but i wanted more than just whites..maybe a mix of browns, taupe, and whites..so anyways, im almost calling this project a bust because i dont know where else to look! So im going to keep looking around on the net and see what i can find..what a mess...
ps jake has his st charles interview today! and he has the dupage county interview late oct...and i just found that yorkville and kane county are taking applications which he will be doing too!

check the tablecloths...the white damask ones..they are tone on tone patterns like that and they are large! pennys always has them at a good price!
tablecloths! good idea..the ONE thing i havent looked at
And check out curtains too. I know Wal-mart has a 'clearance' section and sometimes they will have 54"Wx84"L curtains on sale for $4 a panel. Check all the stores, (Target, Wal-Mart, JCPenney...etc.). Also look at shower curtains. They have fabric ones...
