so on saturday, kenny and i went to calico corners--another fabric store in tampa--in search of a cowboy print. we didn't have any luck at calico corners, which is okay by me since it's VERY EXPENSIVE, but on our way back from calico, kenny saw this other place on kennedy called "that fabric place". we nearly got in an accident pulling into the place and, in my opinion, the people weren't super friendly, but their inventory definitely made the saturday trip to south tampa worthwhile!
we found this print and it very well may be the winner.
here's an up close shot of the cowboy.
they also had the same print in blue, but i'm not a fan. i think the baby blue background would get old superfast. plus, i want to paint the walls and that wouldn't be necessary if we chose the blue version.
i got some input from cheri on saturday evening and she said that if i chose the cowboy pattern with tan background, we could definitely paint the walls blue. however, when she pulled out her color wheel and showed me which shade of blue would go best based solely on that fabric, i was no longer interested in blue walls. i'm currently leaning towards painting the walls green, but i'm not sure that i'll be able to convice kenny of this. cheri said that it's all about what fabric i choose as the curtains and crib skirt/dust ruffle. she said that it would be completely acceptable to do the comforter and curtains in the tan cowboy fabric, but i think that that would be too much cowboy. i guess we'll have to wait and see what fabric(s) i find to do the curtains and skirt. i want to check out this other fabric store, "boca bargoons", and see what they have. maybe they'll have yet another cowboy fabric! my goal is to go to boca sometime this week, but kenny can't go until saturday. i'm just so anxious to get the ball rolling on carter's room! i'm ready to be painting the walls! :)
