Fabric questions

This isn't really a quilt related question, but at least fabric.
I've been searching internet sites for drapery fabric. So far just Mary Jo's and Hancock's of Pad. for some drapery fabric. This is for the beach condo. There is just so much out there.
Any suggestions for web sites? We don't want anything to "beachy" no star fish, etc. But not too conservative either. I'm thinking of stripes in aqua, teal, sandy colors. There is so cute Tommy Bahama fabric out there, but expensive. These will have to have lining, and the one space is 11 1/2 feet across, 8 ft. high. So, will take lots of fabric. Will have to have them professionally made, I just don't have that type of work space. and wouldn't want to do them anyway.
The bedroom can have something different, maybe more like palm fronds, or something tropical in feel.
I'm open to ideas! Will check my local Jo-Ann's also and there is one Designer fabric store somewhere in town. I think they have sales in Jan.
OK, going to go to a girlfriend lunch today for someone's 52nd birthday, or maybe 53rd.
She says that she is forgotten as her birthday is before Thanksgiving, so we are all taking her out, about 6 of us.

Just a couple DD and I have used in the past for dance fabric. Don't know much about decor fabric there.

JoAnn's also has drapery fabric on their website. It can be spendy, but you can use those % off coupons on web orders, too.
