Roller Shades - Some Lovely & Funny Inspiration

Let's pretend for a moment that the rectangles are shades and the squiggly lines to the right of the sink are open shelves.  Let's also pretend that the bead board back splash is finished.   While we are at it, let's just say that the walls are a nice gray.

In an earlier post, I shared some lovely Roman shades in kitchens and thought that maybe this would be a good option for our kitchen.  The other day the new rug arrived Joss & Main and now I am trying to decide on fabric.  The other thing I am considering is possibly covering roller shades with fabric instead of making three Roman shades.  I believe it would be much easier and realistically, the shades are going to remain in the up position most of the time.  Here are a couple of the roller shade projects that inspire me.

I cannot let this opportunity pass without sharing Lakeitha's roller shade project which made me lol.  I really appreciate her honesty in that post.  We all have those moments - thanks for that Lakeitha!

Here is where I would love your input.  I have a few fabric choices and wonder what you think.  The walls are going to be painted.  So pretend they aren't green.

Yesterday, I found another fabric that I love even more than these.  It is a chartreuse with white flowers and I have a side table in the kitchen that I would like to paint peacock blue.  My computer isn't co-operating or I would share  a picture of the swatch with you.  What do you think?  Do any of those fabrics speak to you?
