cushion love

i have been wanting to make cushion covers for a long time. Our living room is just to dark for summer times and i have been playing with the idea to paint one of the living room walls white again. The same wall i painted dark red in winter now has to be white again. boyfriend doesn't fancy this idea and is boycotting the procedure so far. so to keep peace at home i have decided to sew new cushion covers to compensate for the dark red.

i so want the living room to be a light scandinavian airy living room. *sigh*


photo: you can hardly see the beautiful white lace i bought at the fleamarket a couple of weeks ago

we have enough sun in the room and it would be soo nice... ah well.... back to the cushions...
i have decided to go for white and blue :-) scandinavian style here we come.
i also did some embroidy on one cushion.

i was to lazzy to go and buy zippers and i really liked the idea of Manda at tree fall design


in the end i fogot all about the scandinavian style and just had to match these two fabrics. a bought the printed one online and in the photo it didn't look that brownish at the time. but i think the combination is sweet and i enjoy how nicely the corners meet.

i think it is the first time that i reached such a precise result.

i'm still thinking of how i can persuade boyfriend. any ideas?

take care t:t

... persuade boyfriend...? hmm.
My husband needed about 3 years to present me HIS (his??? *ggg*) idea: we'll paint our wooden panels white... I was overwelmed by HIS idea and happily said yes please! The realisation took another 2 months. But now it's done. What a good idea!

I wish you luck! Sooner or later yours will get a brilliant idea...
