Gracious Living Linen Air Drape

Sadly I bought these reduced price "damaged and non returnable" curtains to supplement the 4 others I bought at full price and reviewed at 5 stars. I opened the bags and was assailed with what I can only say was an odor akin to a urine soaked cow barn. After blowing my nose and taking an aspirin for the headache the odor produced, I dumped them in the trash bin. At twenty dollars a pop, that was $ 80 bucks + shipping thrown away. Sometimes a bargain is NOT a bargain. Lesson learned.

The quality of these drapes is superb. I bought four of them. One set for sheers bordering a newly installed French door and made balloon shades with the other set. After shopping for fabric, I found that the price of these already fabricated drapes and the beauty and quality of the fabric couldn't compare with what was in the fabric stores. And lots less work too! A great deal.

I love it when one material is beautiful enough to stand on it's own. 100% linen, you can see the textures within the material and it's woven where you can see the weaves 5 feet away. Shear but that isn't a problem for me - It brings in the light. Also, I can see outside but unless you're like 10 feet away from my window, you can't see in.

Originally, I ordered these in the Wheatish color, which turned out to be more golden than I planned. Luckily, when I exchanged them for the Natural, I received the perfect linen drape to complete my "simple French country" room. They are a nice neutral color and the fabric is very light and delicate. Plus, I was able to order them at a longer length for a fraction of the price of other drapes I was comparing.

This is a very nice linen drapery panel. Good for the price. I can't actually use it where I intended because it doesn't provide enough privacy. It's not sheer in the sense that the material is thin; the threads are thick enough. It's that the fabric isn't super densely woven, so it doesn't provide privacy. The feel and weight of the panel is very nice, though. I'll order more and use as stationary panels to soften the look of the window. I'll use it as the decorative layer as opposed to the privacy layer. It is also amazing that this company offers panels in 108 inches.
