The article highlights the author's experience discovering a set of vintage drapery on Facebook Marketplace, ultimately purchasing a total of nine luxury panels for just $100. Initially seeking only a few panels to furnish a bay window in a condo, the purchase became more meaningful after moving to a house. Inspired by a recent visit to The Greenbrier resort, the author realized they could utilize the vintage fabric for reupholstering their vintage furniture, demonstrating the potential of thrift finds in personalizing home decor.
I've heard over the years that vintage drapery is one of those thrifted finds you should never pass up.
...I scrolled back months into my Facebook Marketplace chat archives, found the listing still active, and reached out to the same woman.
All the vintage furniture I'd been collecting for my home needed to be reupholstered at some point, so why was I bothering with fabric samples when I had everything I needed sitting right in front of me?
...she sold me all six of the remaining Nina Campbell panels, plus valances, for just $100.
