apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I might be wrong about this, but I think the pattern's called damask. Maybe do a search on that?

What about this one? It's close. http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=10525&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=336&iSubCat=299&iProductID=10525

This is very similar to a Waverly pattern called Essence Onyx. I have curtains in that fabric; I got then on ebay. I think Bed, Bath, and Beyond used to carry them, but I think they might be discontinued there. I'm not sure if Waverly makes a shower curtain in the same design, but if you're using a plastic liner, you could probably adapt the window curtain as a shower curtain. Or, fabric web sites sell the Waverly Essence Onyx fabric, too.

The curtains pop up fairly regularly on ebay. Here's a pair:

Stop the presses! They *do* make a shower curtain in this pattern, and here's one on ebay:

Not a damask, but a similar vibe:

Alternatively, you could print out the pattern in the size blocks you want, buy a showercurtained-sized piece of clear vinyl, and then stencil it on yourself with permanent marker. I did this recently to my shower door (it was ugly and charmless) with a cherry blossom design. Plus, that way you'd get exactly what you want.

Repro Depot (www.reprodepot.com) has a fabric just like that. Here's a link directly to the fabric:

Shower curtains are easy to sew, just 4 hems and some buttonholes. So even if you can't do it yourself, paying someone to make it shouldn't be too pricey.

Tonic Living (Canadian firm!) sells a fabric that is close to what you seek. If you are willing to make your own then you can buy fabric here and use a liner.

And yes, this firm calls the pattern "damask" too.

P.S. I just "made" cafe curtains for my kitchen using two dish towels and these rings with clips - no idea what they are called but they are available easily in hardware stores. If you can just sew the edges, you can hang up your "curtain" using these.

susiequeue's correct - this is a damask not a toile - if you google 'damask shower curtain' there's quite a few choices although I didn't see a black and white one in the first few sites I clicked but some very similar coloured ones.

Lovely. Now that I know that it's "damask" and not "toile", I'll have a much easier time searching.

Lawdesigner --> Very cool idea... hmmmm.

Angie in Montreal --> LOVE that fabric.

Thanks everyone :)

I love this pattern and have been drooling over the "wall flower" shower curtain at Sin in Linen (http://www.sininlinen.com/products/shower.htm). I'm not sure if she ships to Canada but let me know - I'm in Ottawa.

this one requires a liner:

found this pattern-on the bottom-that looks totally cool

Maybe this with a black liner?

There are a ton of beautiful Damask print fabrics out there. Here is one I ran across the other day:

I ordered this one recently. They ship to the US.

Black would've been better, but I couldn't find one.

I would use this Waverly curatin panel on sale at Target with a second rod for the plastic liner.

They have something like that at Home Depot, I think it was pretty cheap too.

Since your in Canada...... The Debbie Travis line at good ol' Canadian Tire has a shower curtain in this pattern. Black and white, very bold.

I believe they also have some other matching bathroom accessories there to go along with it.

KellyKat... I'm so going to Canadian Tire in an hour!

I love the Sin In Linen pattern too.

Damn. No luck at Canadian Tire... the shower curtain is not even on the web site but there were some awesome storage boxes in the same pattern. The hunt continues.

Shades of Light has a similar pattern in drapes, and they offer custom sizing.

For the record, this is probably technically a damask *pattern* since in a true damask, the pattern is actually achieved with the weave (versus being printed on).

But yeah, this is definitely not a toile.

Ick. Ick. Ick. Hate this "style." Am I the ONLY one who remembers flocked wallpaper? That's all this cra* is. By 2010, you will ALL be making fun of it. At least, I HOPE.

Everyone has their own tastes, Kurt.

Vielleicht.

Yeah, a toile would be little black-and-white sketches of 1800's young men courting young ladies in the countryside wearing clothes that should only be worn indoors, and they're sometimes shown in black-on-white; sometimes blue-on-white, sometimes red-on-white with parts of the background on apple green, etc.
