Where do you shop for your fabrics? I've been trying to find good stuff for our guest room headboard & curtains and am striking out. Tried a bunch of websites and Joann. I love the stuff you used in your guest room and the printed curtains.

Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
For reals, Moo. I attribute my obession with gray to her too.

Probably not much help here, but when I lived in DC, one of the outlet malls (out in VA somewhere - total mind blank right now) had a Crate and Barrel outlet. They had a pretty sweet fabric collection there. If you have some outlet home goods/furniture stores near you, maybe check those out.
I also think Ikea has a fabric collection, but I am not lucky enough to have an Ikea in my town (yet - it is under construction), so I cannot say for sure.

Ikea has awesome fabric. Also check out Sew Mama Sew http://www.sewmamasew.com/
If you find a fabric you like, search for it on Etsy before you buy it. A lot of Etsy sellers charge less to ship than the bigger sites.

Most of the fabrics from my guest room and the orange/gray/black print on the curtains are from Ikea. I love their fabrics and the weight is really great for the price. The pink houndstooth in the guest room I bought from a designer clearing out her stash (Jenny from The Little Green Notebook). We have a local store here that has a ton of fabric books so I can order most of the big brands from them.
There are a lot of good stores online, but I am kind of hesitant to buy something without knowing the weight and the feel in advance. You can get to the trade only fabrics at a few places online (http://www.decoratorsbest.com is a good one) Unfortunately, I have very champagne tastes when it comes to fabric, but a beer budget. So I end up picking out $100+/yard fabric from websites like that every time.
The nerve!

Yeah, this is my sister's living room http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs471.snc3/25819_740478722763_22200614_41499236_8199879_n.jpg
She bought the stretcher frames at Ikea for $4.99 each and just got 2 cuts of fabric. Stupid cheap.

That's a good site, Bethie! I had no idea Ikea had fabrics and never would have thought to look on Etsy.
I nearly passed out at some of the prices of the stuff at Joann's.

I like this one a lot. Make sure you check the remnant bins; I got a giant remnant for like $4.

I love the Majken. I wanted some of that colorway but they were out last time I was in Houston.
If I lived by an Ikea I would go every weekend. It's an obsession.

Oh Cali. My hoseband broke two of my spice jars Sunday! It was a tragedy. Between that and the fact that he is "not sure" about painting the living room gray, I'm putting us at the top of the next to divorce list.
I know there is a 5 photo Ribba frame but I'm not sure about 7.

Damnit, it looks like they don't have anything! Ikea, you have failed me!! Well that sucks. Anybody know a super cheap way to frame 7 4x6 photos?
