After we had all our bentwoods safely home, I got on ordering fabric for drapes in the formal dining room. We had already decided on Echino collection by Etsuko Furuya for Kokka. I bought a yard of it when we did some LA fabric shopping.
It’s even more gorgeous in person. I know birds are a bit cliche, but I loved this fabric the moment I saw it. It has an amazing color combination. I needed 7 yards, so I ordered it at Harts (they no longer have it on their site). It was $140 which is more than I typically spend but still reasonable. I went to bed with a huge smile knowing my formal dining room is coming together quickly.
Harts called the next day to tell me they didn’t have 7 yards (cue sad Charlie Brown music). I immediately cried got online and searched etsy. No one had 7 yards. More tears. I thought maybe I could order enough for 1 panel then cut it in half since it is 62″ wide. I couldn’t convince myself to do that. I wanted 2 full, flowing, beautiful drape panels in this perfect fabric.
I was really stubborn determined to have these as my drapes, so I decided I’d just order it from different sellers. I ordered 3.5 yards from FABITAT on etsy (who is a wonderful seller by the way) and 4 yards from Harts (half yards weren’t an option). My total went from $140 for 7 yards to $147.71 for 7.5 yards. Not bad. I’m just glad it all worked out, and I can make some sweet drapes for the dining room.
