Cushions

April 13, 2008 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 26 Comments

I have just completed a trio of cushions for my Living Room. This room is fairly simply furnished using predominantly natural earthy tones. I am going for a serene look, and we try and keep it uncluttered and ready to receive friends at a moments notice. I have been looking around for the perfect fabric and finally found it here.

I have used a variety of textures to add interest – the softest wool in mocha; natural linen; some chocolate coloured grosgrain ribbon with ecru detail; and the feature fabric, hand printed on a linen/cotton blend. I have backed the cushions with duckcloth and finished them off with some lovely buttons.

    They look beautiful. And I love how you’ve used lots of different textures. They look perfect too as the weather starts to cool down and we get ready to snuggle up for winter!!!
