OBSESSED!!! need help!

12 years ago
I am in LOVE with thick grey and white horizontal stripe curtains!! I'm talking LOVE! The problem??? I can't find nice quality ones to purchase!! Crate and Barrel has the "Alston" curtain which they described as " grey and ivory". I ordered them and the ivory is a very yellow color and the grey is actually taupe. I have googled every possible retailer online and can't come up with a decent/nice quailty panel. Also, there are a lot of "DIY paint yourself curtains" tutorials online, I just dont think I will be happy with the results. I see some custom made panels on ETSY, but they mostly range close to $200+ a panel. I need 4, so I was hoping to keep them to about $150 each panel. I also saw online that West Elm has a shower curtain in a grey/white stripe. Right now the shower curtain is on backorder until May 18. The shower curtain is an option, but I'm not sure what the quality would be like. I could buy extra shower curtains and have a seamstress alter them. Lastly, I have gone to a few fabric stores to see if I can find the material and have them made. One store I went to quoted me a good price to make them but they didn't have the fabric. The store owner told me she is able to order just about any brand name fabric, if I found one that I liked. When I google fabrics, it is very hard to see the actual color. I want a crisp white and a neutral grey. So here are my questions:

1. Are there any ready made panels availabe at an online retailer that maybe I missed?

2. Does anyone know of a fabric that is available online that is a true white and grey? ( So I can have them made)

3. Any other options I am missing?

Thanks for any help you can give! My husband will be happy...he can't hear anymore about my striped curtain obsession!

I have attached the Crate and Barrel Alston panel, the West Elm Shower Curtain, and a picture I found online of the curtains I like.
