Cushions

Almost 2 years ago I bought a whole pile of cushions on sale. They weren’t the prettiest (okay they were downright ugly), but it was cheaper to buy these cushions than purchase the inserts. I had good intentions to recover them, but you know the story; busy life, and competing projects.

Anyway, a friend has held me accountable and encouraged me to finish at least one by the end of September. So here is the start of my first cushion cover.



Yes the colours are bright. I watched a few of Ann Maurice’s “House Doctor” programs a few years ago, and was inspired on how she worked a colour theme through-out the house. My starting colour was green.

These 4 colours are the accents in the lounge. I’m using these colours in various combinations in other rooms of the house. For example; the bathroom has accents in turquoise, the bedroom has accents in purple, the kitchen has accents in orange, the dining room has accents in orange and green… etc. The back of the “3-in-1 Color Tool” by Joen Wolfrom explains colour theory – which for me is very helpful.
