Spring home fashion

Spring is in the air!! The snowdrops are peeking up. New buds on the rose bushes are forming. Time to clean up after the holidays and freshen up the home.






One quick way to give your home a new look is some custom throw pillows for your living room, bedroom even kitchen! They are an quick and easy way to change a colour scheme or look without redoing the entire room.












Metallics are the trend for both garment and home fashion for Spring 2012. How about some gold or silver doupioni throw pillows for the bedroom? Elegant without being flashy.












Cushion form sizes that we carry are 16" square, 18" square and 20" square. Made in Canada from a Canadian company, Nusso Textiles. Yeah Canada!





Got some great fabric in the stash that you don't know what to make into? Perhaps something with a big graphic print? Another popular trend to add detail to a room, is to stretch fabric over a canvas or inserted into a picture frame.








Here is a handy link on how to make these canvases yourself.
