Decorating a green couch!

Cushion colour combination from The Works

Today I went to a shop that is totally amazing and well known to many Melbourians! Of course it is The Works in Hawthorn. I spent a good 2 hours just pottering, touching and rearranging displays like the one above, working out my colour scheme and the look I am after for my home. I bought the gorgeous grey/blue flower cushion in the picture but desperately wanted to buy the yellow and blue geometric cushions as well. This will be my new colour scheme for upstairs. I have this fantastic green couch that needs equally colour that will make the whole room 'sing'.

My green couch upstairs

Sadly, at the moment, my new purchase is hidden in the car as Mr B said 'you don't need any more cushions' Little does he know I will need many new cushions haha! Just waiting for the right time to casually flung it on the lounge as if it has been there always.

Home Sweet Home...

Home Sweet Home

This is my favourite room. When I walk upstairs its the first thing I see, my gorgeous home sweet home cushion from Heartfire at Home. Linda is the owner of this beautiful blog and as soon as I saw this cushion, I just knew I had to have it and exactly where it was going to go!

You may also notice my other cushions on the green couch...they look okay for now but have been recycled so many times, on different couches. I still want the yellow and navy blue look but for now, they still look pleasant and I have to stop this cushion fetish I have at the moment.

So, that's all for now, Blogger is driving me crazy and will not let me set my margins correctly, pictures disappearing and unable to highlight text for links! I am just hoping it is one of those things and everything will be back to normal....very soon!

Oh! and of course I have been watching The Block every single night for the last 8 weeks! I actually got to see Amie and Katrina's home and Rod and Tania's on a day nobody else was there. All I can say is that both houses are just gorgeous and I wish all the couples the best of luck for the coming auctions.

Patio update

Remember our auction score a few weeks ago? 

This lovely teak set now graces our deck and we could not be happier with it. 
I still needed cushions...Most of you commenters encouraged me not to invest to heavily in these outdoor cushions. I agree.
Of course they wear and tear through the elements and fading is unavoidable. I can report that I got a great deal on Sunbrella cushions, bought at Patio.com for $ 34.99 a piece. Not too bad!

We choose red over blue or white (there weren't too many choices), it's lively and I think it gives a nice pop of color!
And even if it will fade to this one day, we will be OK with it! : )

Summer, here we come!

What do you think?
