DaTorture of DaMask!

So ... if our walls could talk ... they'd whine about my incessant groanings about my ongoing quest to find a DaMask duvet cover.

It probably started when I got my ShootSac.


Now, you remember Erik's dramatics from a previous post. Well, if you can picture HIS reaction here ... it would involve a BIIIIIG eye roll. ;)

So, why do I want a duvet cover? That's because we already have a comforter. It just needs a cover (ok, we HAVE a cover, but I think it would look more rockin' in DaMask).


Well, this week, I found this product, and LOVE it, but it's not big enough .... so I asked where they got the fabric. From an exporter in China. BOO! I can't get it here. I'm *crossing* my fingers that I can convince them to share with me ... because they describe it as "bluish silver + black." Um ..... PERFECT!!!!!!

Especailly with this sort of wall color:


I think black and white will just be spectacular with this!

But no. I can't have the DaMask I want.

A few months ago, I went on an obsessive quest and found *some* options online ... but I'm just not sure I'm all sorts of crazy about any of them ..... but I should get some sample scraps and see ....


These range from $7/yard to $40/yard. Yikes!!!!!!!

Here's the thing that gets me ..... I go into almost ANY store .... and there are throw pillows in the DaMask pattern, then aprons in Hobby Lobby, then photo boxes .... and the list goes ON. Ugh. It irritates me that I see this pattern EVERYWHERE, but I cannot purchase the fabric in any fabric store around here. Ugh.

Ok, so which ones do YOU like? Leave a comment and tell me which number you like!!!!!

I like F, I, or J. :)

I'd say F. A nice, big, bold print would be better for something as large as a bed cover. A smaller print on that big a space would make me dizzy.

Ooooo, I really like F...seems to be a popular pick!

I like i... it seems to have more white, and therefore appears to be more similar to your bag. :)

Anthropologie used to sell a nice duvet cover...like 3 years ago. Maybe they still have it.
