My Office Chair Cushions...

The Print & Colour soft decor unites! A fun & stylish
cohesion of print & colour that is simple & effective function.
S is for Super Sarah!

M is for Marvelous  Matthew
So I have finished up our personalised [home] office chair cushions - with our initials 'S' for Sarah and 'M' for Matthew... We needed these cushions since our 'office' chairs are not the typical ergonomic style - more a 'comfy' meeting classic tub chair. But I love them and their self jacquard geo design upholstered in French Navy, so they had to stay I just had to come up with a design solution to make them comfy & functional, and stylish to tie back with the overall office colour & decor scheme.
So in keeping with my last 'afternoon' office project - of covering a boring pin board and making a few 'floor' scatter cushions - here I have used the vibrant Hot Candy Pink stripe fabric on the front of the cushion with a plain white backing - and appliqued onto the front of the cushion [strip side] is our first name initial in a 'collegic' style font in a Blue Black woven sateen, I traced from our wooden letters on our shelves.
I also used a thin layer of wadding I had left over from the Christmas stockings that I used as a stabiliser when satin stitching around the letters to sew them on. I do need a couple of new feather inserts for them -  but have made do with a few inserts from the 'spare' room at home & will have to 'make do' for the time being.

The official 'office' poochies - Zach, the Cavoodle &
Lucy the Cavalier King Charles - also like to 'test'
out the floor cushions and our office chairs
from time to time!
 So what do you think?
I love them and think they give an instant lift to what could be quite plain office chairs, plus they provide much needed back support - and tie the print & colour scheme of the soft/ decor for the office in together quite nicely!
Enjoy,



These cushions are doing the right job.

A Christmas Vignette...




I put together this little arrangement earlier in the week with some rogue branches from my magnolia grandiflora tree and some new ornaments I bought this year. You probably already know of my obsession with typeface - so you'll understand why I love my new 'peace', 'joy', and 'noel' ornaments - not to forget the silver initials I also found for us three 'M' for my husband, Matthew, an 'S' for me, and an 'I' for Isabelle, our baby girl! Hope you like it!
See what you can find in your garden to create a little Christmas in favourite vase or jug.... Enjoy,
