The Dinette Table

Putting the metal band back on after the new laminate is installed.

This is the same laminate that was used to make the upper cabinet slider doors.

Close up, and truest representation of the color (on my monitor anyway).

The Fabrics...

The curtain fabric design is called "Malibu Palm" and is by Waverly fabrics.  It looks like old Bark Cloth with a really bumpy type of thicker weave and a tropical design.  They are fully lined, and have the manditory (in my world anyway) fringe at the bottom in gold.

A Close Up to show the texture and weave...

All I needed to do was find co-ordinating fabrics for the seating and bed....
(which do not even exist yet).

~ So ~
I'm thinking this ribbed chocolate upholstery fabric:

With this raspberry textured (and very retro looking) looped chenielle. 

It literally made my heart beat faster. Yes, I am in love with this fabric.
It is official.
