Projects at Home Update

Recall that I was freshening up the look of my sofa by adding new pillows.  This is the latest, and since I’m faxing the P.O. s for the fabrics tomorrow, I’m confident in my selections. 

Here’s the before picture of the sofa:

 

This was the inspiration:

 

This is what I’ve decided on:

Three large pillows 30” x 30” across the back of the sofa (replacing the current back cushions).  Plus I’m having the face fabric of the pillow diamond quilted and leaving the back the plain velvet. 

 Designer’s Guild:  Varese Ruggiero in Aqua

Then I’m going to have one 24” x 24” pillow made from this and banded in a tangerine solid silk:

Manuel Canovas:  Byzance  in Quartz

(note that my scan looks more lavender it truly a pale pink)

 

And the one 24” x 24” pillow made from this very cool new intro from Brunschwig & Fils

Brunschwig & Fils: Chevron Bar Silk in Blossom  (it comes in several beautiful colors)

And then for a little added pizzazz I’m going to do one small pillow in this banded in either aqua or pink:

Kravet : Hejira – 816 from the Candice Olsen Collection

Of course I’ve been thinking, I can sew these, but now that I’ve decided on the fabrics I’m going to want them asap, which means they’re probably going to my workroom :).
