Might be handy for that scabby old couch in your den...

I love it!  That would make great curtains for a phone room, too.  Or the walls could be hung with it. Ahhh, the mind reels!

I used that same fabric for a window cornice I built for my phone room.  It adds a nice touch. Just some of my "Martha Stewart" talents.

ebay recently introduced short-URLs which are really handy, the above URL could be easily shortened to this using their own URLs:

To quote an annoying TV ad; Simples.... ;D

And it is super easy to do, just cut all the crap off after the 12 digit number!

Yep, the easiest way to do it is to drop the item number in the search box, search for the item, and then do as you mention, just cut out the crap that comes after the item number in the address bar...  ;D

I think that's a perfect use for it.  With a pattern like that, a little goes a long way, and that's probably just right.  Well done!

That definitely scores cute points.  Question is, what to use it for, other than window treatments...?  Backdrop to a display area?

GG...Window treatments! OUCH!!! Do you want your man card revoked? Man speak...anything on a window is a curtain. Heavy sigh.

Real men have shutters on windows. With a slit for a .22

What would be kind of fun would be to make a stuffed toy telephone with the telephone fabric.

Doug, I thought it sounded better than "window configurations":-)   (That's a PBX geek joke) 

Owain, actually, when I buy a place I'd like to equip windows with some kind of steel plates that can be dropped into place on tracks at the press of a button, to keep out the bullets from the drive-by shooters.  But a slit for a "defense portal" might be a useful addition, now that you mention it:-)

I wonder how the phone fabric would look on the inside of steel plates?  Hmm...

I'd suggest aiming those house purchase aspirations a little higher.
