life has been pretty chaotic lately, we have builders knocking down walls, gutting bathrooms etc so everything lies under a thick layer of dust and the furbabies have been shut out of the way which hasn't impressed them at all....
At least we have a fairly functional living room, albeit under a layer of dust, so I've shut myself into my workroom to produce a few finishing touches...
Here are some cushions I made using a Laura Ashley fabric called 'Rockpool'. I cut out the designs and appliqued them onto some thick linen and I'm really liking the result...
What do you think? I like the way they blend in with my artwork and colour scheme. I have a large piece of the co-ordinating wallpaper too so I could make some smaller framed images for the walls...and speaking of coral themed artwork...
I found these prints at good old Ikea and framed them in some very reasonable frames already painted in a lovely greige. They'll add a little colour and pick up the tones of the fireplace bricks, at least until I paint them white (there's an ongoing battle about this between MLH and me because he likes the red brick and I don't!)
BTW I'm loving my new French style louvre shutters - just seen in the background.
Hopefully I'll soon be able to post some before and after shots of the building work. Have a good day :) x
