Down Etc. (Guest Post)

(m-f 9-6 call first)

(Returning to Shakytown! Kristin gets into a pillow-fight mood for her 2nd post. Comment away.)

2-21-downlogo.jpgPillows dont have to be square. They can be tubular. They can be round, rectangular, oval, spherical, stellar or pyramidical. For all these shapes, Down Etc. is a comprehensive resource for pillow inserts. They also have a full line of bedding in copious sizes and shapes ($4.50-$300.00).

2-21-downetc.jpgAll of this is very inspirational for a d.i.y. or custom made project. Im planning a big, round, banded, linen floor cushion like the one above from Tricia Guild of Kings Road, London. You can call with measurements from an existing cushion cover and theyre likely to have it. They do not do custom sizes (for custom, try cushionworks).

Though the folks at Down Etc. are often in, call first for an appointment to make sure. Theres not much of a website, but you can order by phone and they ship across the country.

Note: if youre not allergic, go with down every time. They look and feel excellent and they last virtually forever. Youll get bored of the outside before the inside wears out and then you can recover. Polyester flattens out after 5-10 years and then its more un-decomposing landfill.

I really like Tricia Guild/Designers Guild, too. Good luck with the DIY project.
