Solstice House and A Quest

I didn't plan it that way, and didn't fully notice until after we had already done it, but we signed our purchase documents on the Solstice. Seems auspicious, somehow. The house shall have a name -- houses should have place names of their own -- and perhaps something about the sun or the summer solstice ought to be in it. Must ponder.

My current thumbtwiddle for planning the house is a quest for fabric. I've decided the living room curtains should be a retro-40s-ish floral/tropical print. What I really want is something exactly like the print on my favorite camp shirt, but that's not likely, is it? So for now I'm trolling the drapery fabrics on various websites looking for something like this (only with a denser pattern) or this (only with a cooler red to it) or this (only a notch more vibrant, maybe) to tie the room together. Once I have the curtain fabric in hand I can pick paint colors.

I'm entirely mad for this, and this but not for the living room, so I don't know what I'd use it for. Table cloths for a tea room, perhaps. When I get around to opening The Duchess of Kent.
