Ethan Allen question for professional decorators.?
Question:I was in Ethan Allen today and drooled at their beautiful furniture which I can't afford. I also noticed that they had the most beautiful comforters and bedspreads and I asked if they were custom. They told me no and that I could order them from their store. Well, I know they won't be cheap so I'm wondering if any professional decorators know their source? Thanks in advance.
Answers:
You could call them and ask, but I can tell you that they probably run around what this place charges:

This is only to the trade (interior designers, decorators), and that is probably why they would have to order for you. Their stuff probably comes from some place that deals with the trade only.
Most of what Ethan Allen sells is under their name, or custom made. Try calling the store and asking. It can't hurt and you might get a answer.
I doubt that you can get to a decorator site however all's not lost! There are many Internet sites that have beautiful, affordable bedding and linens. You just need to take the time and look. As long as you are aware of thread count and what fabrics EX: silk etc. you want and know the diff between a duvet cover and a bed skirt you are in business! In fact believe it or not on some of the home shopping channels H.S.N etc. also have some nice designer comforters along with curtains etc. to match. Check some of the dept. store sites such as penny's, Montgomery wards, overstock, bed bath beyond etc. you can find other links and some nice choices. You too can have that custom look without a designer and find it in your price range. I strongly suggest that you buy 400 or "over " thread count and don't cheat yourself, consider down bedding or at least pillows. Buy upper end linens it will make all the difference in your comfort and look of bedroom.Patience along with textile knowledge you will succeed!!
