The Right Fabric

I've officially gone crazy and it's all because of curtain fabric.  Drapery can do for a room what the perfect bag does for your outfit— pulls it all together!  But what if you can't decide between the Tory Burch or Kate Spade bag?  Shopping for fabric should have been fun, but DH and I can't seem to agree on the fabric.

I'm head over heals over this Michael Miller's pattern I found at Fabric.com:

Secret Garden Grand Tapestry-Khaki

DH loves this pattern from Iman Home Fabrics that we found at Calico:

Sultana Lattice-Luna

Not only are these two patterns polar opposites, but in an ironic twist of fate my pattern cost $7/yard with a promo code while DH's pattern costs $34/yard!  It finally happened!  DH's choice is finally more expensive than mine!

We ordered samples of both, put a poll on our Olin Facebook page, and had a little bit of fun comparing the two on nearly every window in the house, but we still can't decide!


DH being dramatic
We even got a bit creative with adobe photoshop to get a visual! 

Can you picture this in 3D?


What do you think?  Am I over analyzing this?

    I like your choice the best. The other one messes with my eyes.

      That was exactly my first thought, especially after seeing the mock up on photoshop.

    Normally, I'm on-board with the young gentleman's taste in decor. In this case, I'm with you. Hands down the Secret Garden.
