After a lengthy visit to JoAnn Fabrics, I found one fabric that was similar to the diamond pattern. I didn't thoroughly search the drapery patterns because they were clearly special ordered. Since it was a beige color, we tried some RIT brown stain, but the effect was subtle. I ended up using the back side of the un-dyed piece. There were now vertical lines to contend with, but overall I am satisfied. A non-radio person wouldn't look twice at it. Check it out:
