-does this red/orange stripe go with my green walls?
-is one fabric too much for all three locations?
These next two I like better, but also need something to go with them.
I love the fabric on these storage boxes. I don't know where I'd find it, but I bought one and it looks fabulous in my room.

This is the other that I keep coming back to.

Not everyone's style, I know, but I can't put the swatch away... the search continues!
Sorry, the links aren't working... any tips??

How does it look with your family room? Isn't that tan? What color is your living room again? Think transistion, that is imperative seeing as how you will look directly at the window and its treatments when you walk in the front door. It looks great with the green.
You should get Eryka's advice about this. I love the fabric you pictured, but I'd be REALLY hesistant. From the picture, it doesn't look like it has quite enough green (or maybe the green isn't quite the right color) in it to quite go with the wall. The black fabric matches, but I'm not sure a sun goddess wants super dark window treatments...
Okay, I'm not an expert but here are my thoughts. I think if you've got three window locations in the same room you need more than one fabric. Two would be my thoughts, to break things up. It really depends on what they layout is but I would maybe say one fabric for the kitchen window and slider and another for the 3 windows behind the couch, or one for the 3 window and kitchen and a seperate one for the slider, depending on the feeling you want to create. Is the paint the same green throughout this whole area?
As far as actual prints, I think the best advice is to think about how you want the room to "feel". Cheerful/energetic, calm/relaxing, inviting and cozy...etc. Then when you find fabrics you like ask yourself if they give you this feeling. It may sound lame but I've kind of starting taking this approach with scrapbook pages and I'm liking the results, so I figure it could work for window coverings too!
The most important thing is if you love it, because it's your home. Hope some of my babbling helps. Have fun and please post pics when you decide! Oh, and you should post the one you made for Cooper's room, it is so fun!
One more thing, I think this post was cursed by what I like to call the "two posts close together" syndrome. Meaning you posted the car wash post pretty soon after and then people just read the first one they see assuming they've already checked the others. At least that's what I've noticed happens when I post twice in a short amt of time. So if you want more input I'd do another post telling them to scroll down to this one and give you their 2 cents.
