Comforts of Home

I knew I wouldn't be able to live with it for long...;-))

Yes, I have made some changes to the iron bed under our main staircase!

And yes, already! ;-))

It was all too busy and I needed to tone things down...so away went all the odd/mismatched cushions, quilts and eiderdowns...

And I've introduced a new calmer look.

I thought when I found the old cushion covers that were once on the sofas in our living room (whilst sorting through a pile of fabrics that I'd forgotten I had), that they could work better on the seat we had created here in the hall.

I'd made this set of large cushion covers at least 12 years ago, I'm guessing, all from lovely antique fabrics and quilts.

Several times they'd had to be patched and repaired over the years, which is one of the reasons I had reluctantly replaced them...

But here, where they will be used and enjoyed once again, it shouldn't be such a problem, as they will receive a lot less wear than on the main sofas in our living room.

Maybe I shouldn't look to change my style, and I should stick with the colours and textiles that I've always loved - If 12 years down the line I'm still liking these cushions, then that must mean something?

And I do think, this time(!) that I am settled...

:)

I will get round to showing some of the other changes I've made around our home soon...All of which I won't be changing again in the near future!

;-))

Have a great week,
