Yellow and Gray!

Hmmm, the gray and yellow comment on the generalist’s front door conundrum reminded me of my own yellow and gray combo!!! When i was browsing a fabric store in Newport News, looking for color/fabric OPTIONS for our new place, i found a bolt of fabric (light weight cotton print) that was interesting, and the price tag was $3 a yard. When i went to pay for it and asked if this was the real price, i was told, ‘no, it’s on sale….$1.50 a yard…’, so how could i pass up 15 yards of fabric that i have no immediate use for??? It’s a yellow background with design in charcoal gray and warm taupe. I am ahead of the crowd!!
Yellow & Gray Fabric STEAL!
Now come the OPTIONS. I think i will use it in my office/tv/guest room/project room where i already have a black floating desk and bookshelf. i have a queen bed tucked under a slanted ceiling. Now, do i do the walls yellowish, or taupish. Do i use the fabric for bedskirt, duvet, or coverlet, or do i use it for window treatments? Maybe a gray coverlet, taupe walls, duvet w/ this fabric on one side, and something else on the back, and bedskirt out of it…do i want modern or cozy? Arghhhh…the options!!!
