March 21, 2011 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 33 Comments

I have started working on the new cushions/pillows to jazz up our Home Theatre. We recently updated our sofas  – they are now denim coloured which are a welcome change from the dusty pink ones that were all the rage in the early 90’s (I am dating myself here!).  This is the room that houses the X-Box and Wii  (where the teens entertain their friends) so I am going for a modern look. I love the Robert Kaufman Metro Living Circles – they are the perfect choice.

Stay tuned for more pillows in the coming weeks!

    Hi Lisa,
    Great pillow!

    Isn’t it funny how our tastes can change from dusty rose to modern fabrics? I know if I had seen Metro Living five years ago, I would have said, “Who in their right mind would ever use that fabric?” Now, I am loving it!

    Have a great day!

    Carol

    If anyone could overhaul a dusty pink sofa in to this century it would be YOU. But even as I type, I also have the words of The Gambler singing in my head…
