Colourful Cushions!


My living room was becoming decidedly monochromatic, and whenever I would suggest new furnishings to Rachel, she would sigh because they were inevitably grey, black or white!

I had a fab piece of the green Echino Doves which I wanted to use but I knew that it wasn't bright enough on its own. So we made a trip to our local fabric store (a treasure trove, plus you have to search a bit to find the right thing so it's always very satisfying) and found these cool fabrics. I whipped up some covers out of them and am sooo pleased with the result!

How do you add colour to your rooms?

  2. Hi Toniette! I love your website and photographs!

    The fabric shop is Len's Mills Store on Exeter Rd. It has a huge range of quilting fabrics (and other stuff too) and you do have to sort through bolts of fabric with chickens and wheat sheafs on them, but there are some gems.
