Do you remember the Crate & Barrel table linens that my mom bought me in December? Well I finally got them out and turned them into new pillows for our sofa. It's a great sofa, nice and comfy but it's such a deep dark blue, midnight really, that it needed something light. Our living room and dining room are basically furnished in blues yet I've discovered that it's lacking contrasts. When we saw these place mats and cloth napkins we knew that it was exactly the pizazz needed. They make me think of colorful mosaic pottery.
From this ...
to this!
The center dark green stripe was much wider than the others. That was quickly fixed with a few pin tucks. Voila!
The cushions look great and the cotrast with the dark of the settee really makes the colours pop!
