Lots of Color!

Love customers who are not afraid of color!

 These Shabby Chic dining nook cushions are so fun!

 These fabrics from overseas are all hand crafted.....

 Again, the Shabby Chic look for the sitting area.....

 Lots of Down to take away the rigidity of the cushions makes this piece so welcoming!

Shabby Chic....Fashionable but informal!

 Love the bright fabric.......

it is classic!

More Shabby Chic....

The name says it all in shabby chic, a popular decorating style that embraces the look of timeworn furnishings. Faded fabrics and washed-out prints; its all fun!

 In the design world, chic means elegant, fashionable and trendy.  With French origins, chic can be used to describe practically any style with a casual, understated look that is still hip, fresh, updated and modern. 

This style originated in Britain, with the term “shabby chic” first appearing in "The World of Interiors" magazine during the 1980s.

Love the violet side of purple with the large red polka dots!

This cushion has a eggplant purple for the boxing with a brighter yet worn yellow for the welt!

This will make a cozy reading corner!

Shabby Chic Week!.....

Shabby Chic is a form of interior design where furniture and furnishings are chosen
 for their appearance of age and signs of wear and tear!

This bench has a down cushion with foam core...... 
letting it be "shabby" in appearance!

This cushion is made from a West African robe!

The robe is a product of Northern Nigeria from the Hausa Textile workers.

The Hausa name for the robe is: riga

 It is usually not possible to attribute a specific ethnic origin to this type of robe on stylistic grounds alone. Although today they are often still made from hand-woven cloth, the painstaking and beautiful hand embroidery used in the past is very rarely seen. Fine old robes have become family heirlooms passed on from father to son and worn with pride at major celebrations.

In this case......

it has been given a new life in the Shabby Chic style of a window bench cushion!
