Seeing....Stripes?


That's right...Stripes. Not spots.  I am on the hunt for some headboard fabric. Once again, here is the inspiration picture for our master bedroom...

I am digging the stripes. However, the wall color in our master is gray and it will be staying as so. I like the drama of the headboard and the contrast it brings to the space, but I am afraid the stripes will look "circus-y" in a room that already has gray walls. I have also tracked down the fabric used for this headboard and it is a little pricey. Here are some of the options I am considering...


Robert Allen Oversized Stripe Charcoal Fabric
$28/yard
(used in inspiration picture)


Richloom Treviso Bisque
$24.99/yard 
(on sale half price at Joann's)


Carousel Designs (babybedding.com)
Gray & White Stripe Fabric
$7.50/yard


Sunbrella Greek Key Gray and White Super Heavyweight
Reversible Outdoor Fabric
$11/yard



Canopy Collection by Premier Prints, Inc.
Cream/Linen
$11.99/yard


I might be leaning toward the more muted stripes, but I don't want to lose the drama. 

Let me know if you have any thoughts or opinions! I would love to hear from you:)
