They say it's available here.......

OOOPS....... Sorry back ordered.

Yes, I contacted the store, and they said it will no longer be available. So . . . I'm interested in making some of my own if I can find a similar fabric. The fabric is actually a really dark brown damask, not black. If I can't find a decent fabric, I'm not sure if I will get the bedding set, as I love the damask euros so much.

I did a search online and found a couple dark brown damask fabrics that may be worth looking at.

This one is from Fabric . com and also at Fabric Guru

This is another one from Fashionable Fabrics

I found some more pics of bedding that has some of the same type of print like the shams in your post.

Most are black & white (or ivory). Are you set on the dark chocolate or are you open to the black?

Laurie - I like those fabrics a lot. I'll check them out, as that's what I was envisioning. I'm hoping I can sew some of my own shams. I'm waiting for the duvet fabric sample to arrive so I can match something up. Thanks!

Oh, and lots of similar style choices out there! I love the black print damask as well, but since the adjacent master bath is chocolate brown, I was hoping to incorporate that color in the master bedroom too.

Can you order another bedskirt and piece together Euroshams from that? That print is fabulous, I can see why you love the duvet. But honestly, the Euroshams don't really look like they go with the rest of the bedding in the first place.

Personally, I would be more inclined to pull the blue from the bedding, for the euroshams, perhaps with a brown piping and a center applique.

Well, I found the main fabric:

clt3 - Thanks so much. I ordered a sample from Ballard Designs to make sure it will actually work in the room. I can't wait for it to get here.

Les, I can get the duvet fabric by the yard from Ballard Designs. The standard shams are available for purchase in that print too, so I think doing the Euros in the same would be overkill. I understand why you say the Euros don't look like they go with the duvet. I thought the same thing myself, but I do LOVE that print. They are a deep chocolate vs. black, but still much darker in appearance than the brown in the duvet. I also love the feedsack pillows. I'm learning I'm drawn to French styles, and this reminds me of it.

You have me thinking on the Euro shams. I have moderate sewing skills, and if I can come up with something, I would purchase the duvet and standard shams (maybe a feedsack pillow or two). Our bed has sideboards and a footboard that don't allow for a bedskirt.

Are you thinking a solid blue with the piping and applique would work best or something with a fine print?

Thanks,

Jan

This is a little different but has the same feel to it

What color is your headboard? I ask because if it is dark, I could see the Euro shams done in a blue tone on tone damask - it would give you the sense of pattern that the bedding has, but more subtle, and would set off the rest of the pillows and the dark headboard. Another choice would be a blue velvet or a linen.

Another choice against the dark headboard would be to pick up the midtone brown (khaki) in the bedding, and then trim in the dark brown or the blue.

These Euro shams from Land's End could perhaps work, with a fancier monogram style done in the chocolate or the blue:

sateen monogram Euro sham in khaki

If the headboard is lighter in tone, I could see a chocolate burlap or linen.

Stylewise, envision this pillow in a Euro size. Brown buttons on a blue pillow, or blue or mother of pearl buttons on the brown, and contrast piping to match the buttons. You would want the buttons to be a bit dressy, not too plain or modern - perhaps a carved look.

linden street button pillow

You could also make the solid Euro shams in the brown or blue, and then add a monogram on the centers of each of them in the contrasting thread.

I think this little pillow would be lovely on your bed, too.

feather pillow

lukkiirish - I do like that one too - a lot. I hadn't checked RH.

I recognize the fabric...it's by Kravet. Lutron Storm. Google the name, I believe there is some on ebay as well.

I posted too quickly! I see now that you wanted the other print...Sorry :(

Another possibility is to use a stencil on solid fabric. I just picked this one below, but there are many more choices.
I found this one at Stencil Cafe.

Les, thanks for your post and suggestions. You have excellent taste, and your knack for decorating is really a gift.

I am hesitant to post a picture of the bedroom, as I'm a novice and realize my efforts are humble in comparison to many others, but here goes.

My vision for the room is something of a casual French country, cottage, romantic, chic style mix. I just picked up the mirrors and love them, so they are staying. The mirrors need to be mounted, and I'm interested in chunky aged lamps to place on the bedside tables.

There are windows on either side of the room, on the outsides of the mirrors shown.

I realize our bed may not work with my vision. I'm hoping I can make it work somehow, or keep it and swap out the bedside tables or something. If necessary, I would consider replacing furniture. The footboard doesn't show in the picture, and we also have a long dresser on the side wall of the room (no mirror).

The paint color may need to be changed. Our adjoining master bath is BM Jackson Tan, which reads as a milk chocolate color.

I'm drawn to the chocolate, creams and blues for bedding, as I think they could bring both rooms together really well.

These are some inspiration items that are general ideas of what I like:

Laurie - The stencil is an awesome idea, thanks!

I forgot to mention I will be adding more substantial draperies too, probably a natural linen, or something along that line.

I think you can absolutely make the bed work, but I would change the bedside tables if you are going for the French country look.

It is going to look beautiful! Great choices-love the white mirrors, frames and any of the lamps!

I was going to post the same as cyn427. I think the bed will work great, but I think the nightstands are just too chunky to work with the rest of your vision. Love the bedding!
Dee

cyn and dee - I'm relieved that you think I can pull this off minus the bedside tables. I am posting a picture of the other dresser we have in the room:

Do you think that could work some way, or that it also has to go? I really like the storage it offers, and it's only four years old.

Here are some french country bedside tables I like:

The last ones are too expensive, but I like them. My DH and I each prefer a drawer and some storage, if possible.

Any thoughts on color (painted vs stained) for the bedside tables?

I'm a little concerned with the room becoming ultra feminine. My poor hubby! So, some rustic elements aren't a bad thing either.

love the bedding!
love the 1st of the lamps...like the 2nd 2nd best!

your night tables and dresser aren't french country, but i would probably still try to make them work...seems wasteful to not! (unless there's another room you could use them in...)

I think as long as you keep your vision as sophisticated French Country and not Country Cottage, you can keep it from becoming too sweet. I looked for some photos on Houzz for you to show some painted and stained pieces. I think your bureau could work, too, with some new darker knobs. I also think your new mirrors could look fantastic painted the blue out of your fabric. I think any of the side tables you show could work. I'm with you, though; I like the last ones best. But if you replace the handles on the 2nd ones with something darker, and maybe glaze to cut down the whiteness. I always associate white-white accessories with cottage.

Here's the pictures. You can see in the first one they paired a painted mirror with some painted nightstands. The second I think is just kind of muted French country. The third and fourth are more cottage in style, but one has painted nightstands with a stained bed and the other has nightstands and mirrors matching in color, in a lovely ivory (rather than white), which would also look great.

Dee - Thanks for the inspiration photos. I like the mix of painted and stained furniture in the photos - great visuals. I like elements of cottage style, but definitely don't want to go overboard. The mirrors are actually a creamy white, but they look pretty bright in the photos. I'm open to painting just about anything, and I have Photoshop, so I think that will help me visualize eventually when I am ready to start putting it all together.

I have struggled with and rebuffed confining myself to a particular decorating style, but I find that when I choose things I love, they are often fall within the realm of French country. I have a European friend who asked me to share photos of my home, and she remarked that certain things about them reminded her of decor she'd seen in France when she visited friends there. So at least I have a little better sense of direction.

Thanks for the inspirations again!

I, too, think you need solid or small scale fabric Euros to soften the look. 2 large scale damasks on a bed is a BIG look.Before you tackle sewing anything, why not shop TJ Max/Homegoods and pickup some coordinating pillows so you can visualize the look you are going for (you can easily return them all).Sometimes the process of elimination is the best method...

Instead of using Euroshams, what about padding and upholstering the inset part of your headboard? A lovely linen or other textural neutral would be very nice there, and visually would substitute for the large Euro shams. Nailheads could be added (or faux strips of nailheads).

You could paint the frame that would show in a cream color, and then antique it a bit, or leave the wood tone.

ratherbesewing - The more I look at it, the more I see the point about the large scale of the damask, so maybe it shouldn't hold me back that the Euros are no longer available. I could find another fabric either ready-made or sew my own. I will defintely take your advice about TJ Max/Homegoods. They do have lots of affordable stuff I could try out before deciding and return if needed.

Les - I hadn't even thought of padding and upholstering the inset portion of the headboard. That's a great idea. I have zero experience with upholstery, though, so it would take some research and planning. The bed has a matching footboard and sideboards too. I have thought about painting the wood. I'm not sure what type of paint I would need to use.

I tried to quickly look through here to see if anyone mentioned the premierfabrics.com. They sell on amazon and on fabrics.com. From the reviews I saw on amazon and on the net, they get great reviews. They have a large scale damask type print (in orange for me- copying christopher peacock's kitchen fabric for my kitchen) and lots of other colors. Best part? It's only 7 dollars a yard on fabric.com with free shipping over 35 bux. Now, it may not have the nice thick texture you're looking for if it's slubbed or a linen. But, it will be fine enough for pillows or an upholstered bed. We upholstered a bed in dark, dark gray mohair fabric. It looks great. But, if I had used a thinner fabric such as a cotton, it would have been easier to work with. And, might have been easier for someone who doesn't regularly sew (in case you don't).

I don't know if what you're looking at is black or dark brown fabric, so I'm popping in the link for black/natural fabrics.

kimiko - I have not used premierfabrics before, but wow! I was looking for dark brown, and they do have a nice print in chocolate and linen. It's very affordable too. I am also considering a blue, as Les has suggested. Thanks!
