Office Fabric.

I was all ready to make a decision for fabric for window treatments in our office.  After a couple of weeks of having the samples hung, I am no more certain today of which one I like better (possibly even less so) than I was on day one.  I keep waffling back and forth between two choices, but I'm ready to pull the trigger and get this show on the road!  So I thought I would ask my awesome readers for a little input.  Here are the two options . . .

Option 1:


Option 2:


We will do drapes on this window and roman shades on the french doors that lead out to our back porch (which obviously aren't pictured here).  



And not to get sidetracked, but see the wooden "at" symbol below?  It's my latest HomeGoods find -- I couldn't pass it up for $12.99!


I think there are some pros and cons for each fabric, but I will keep those to myself so I don't sway any votes!  And one final picture . . .


So which fabric do you like the best?
Or if you have other ideas, feel free to let me know -- I'm all ears!  Thanks in advance for your input!

    I almost picked up the theo fabric the other day! I'm no help because I love both of them equally.

    I really like the Theo. It has a maturity about it while the other fabric seems very youthful. I also like how the darker gold tones play off of the wall color! Both are great choices, though.

    Option 2 for sure. I love the brightness of it and the pattern is just right without looking to 'busy' :)

    Love #2, although would hang opposite direction. The other seems to fade into the wall color. Plus, I think you will have an easier time accessorizing with the brighter yellow, the gold might be harder to match.

    Loving number two, especially on that wall color! It brings out the best in that fabric.

    Voted and apparently I am in the minority with #2??? I'm a big fan of bright color and while I am totally loving that Theo fabric, I can't pass up the chance for MY FAVE chipper and that lovely pop of color! (c: I'm pretty sure whatever you choose will end up fabulous! Can't wait to see!

    I love number one but I am also loving just simple white with trim..yellow trim would be fantastic!

    I love #2, but in the space I think #1 works the best. It is a statement, without being in your face.

    Can I complicate it and say crisp heavy white with a large band of number two at the bottom?

    I feel like "Theo" is more timeless...that's my two cents!

    I love the chipper, its a contender for my bathroom :-) Its so bright and cheerful. I will admit that the Theo is a bit more sophisticated. Depends on what you are looking for.

    I voted number 2. It's super fun. Love the brighter yellow.

    I say #2 b/c you loose some of the pattern w/number 1 when you step away-it starts to blur together. I LOVE the color!! I have that color in my craft room but the fabric is the yellow Suzani Slub- its a great yellow

    Love both, but lean more towards option 2.

    I just found your blog and I love it! I recently won a couple of pillow covers in the Chipper fabric except mine is black and white. It is to-die-for gorgeous in real life. The yellow is even better!

    I love them both. The left one is much more subtle, the right one is more bold. I think they would both look great - maybe choose the loser fabric for a pillow??

    Well I may be opposite of most of the commenters. I love the pattern of the theo, but like the more muted tone of yellow in the other sample. It's a bit more serene. Although if your going for punch I say jump on #2. =) Two great choices! Can't wait to see what you choose. =)

    They're both very nice so it's hard to decide but I did vote for #2. I love the punchiness of it and find that it makes more of an impact than #1. Does that help at all?? ;)

    i think like chevron, these will both be out of style in 6 months.

    Girl, I read this post yesterday but couldn't decide so didn't comment! Well, I was leaning toward Theo but I agree with another commenter that maybe the pattern gets lots if you're not too close to it?? I'd like to see the whole room though. #2 is brighter if that's what you're going for. I really don't think you could go wrong with either one! :)

    I just cast my vote! It's fun to see how close it is! What do YOU and your hubby think??

    Oh no- it's about even right now! We're not helping too much, are we?!? :) Both are beautiful. The first one is more traditional, while the second is more current. (In my opinion). I love both, and I'm sure they will both look amazing, whatever you choose!

    So, I love them both....but the first one is so striking with your paint and shutters!
    Also, I just did drapes in my study with a premier prints fabric....with the lining and all it is really heavy...I'm actually going to have to rehang them.
    Either way, it will be beautiful! You have great style!
