I am glad it works with your decor and that it has even become a bit of a talking point. : - )<br /><br />I also have an office cushion I don't lean back on, haha. It is an Osborne & Little fabric and I worried about it getting creased, so in the end the cushion cover ended up in a drawer and the pad got redeployed. <br /><br />Prior to Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-72652259324312462532013-02-13T13:47:28.794+00:002013-02-13T13:47:28.794+00:00I'm so lucky to have on of these cushions!

Whoever comes to visit goes for the cushion before the perfume bottles. It's been a major decorating success! :)Victoriahttp://boisdejasmin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-44193196628494466532013-02-13T09:48:27.506+00:002013-02-13T09:48:27.506+00:00Hi odonata9,

I will keep the UK terms for things coming if you enjoy hearing them - I could say the same indeed of the many US blogs I follow. "Throw pillows" is ringing a bell now you mention it. You guys also have the rather unusual word "comforter" where we might say "quilt" or "bedspread". I'd say that might be Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061118895694909457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-20210024910961040112013-02-12T20:18:46.847+00:002013-02-12T20:18:46.847+00:00Cute cushions!

I have no "embellishment cushions" on the bed, perfumed or otherwise. I can barely bring myself to pull up the bedspread on our bed with 2 functional pillows, let alone arrange any extra spreads or pillows!odonata9https://www.blogger.com/profile/11828399190705506075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-75441983118543663102013-02-12T10:14:23.999+00:002013-02-12T10:14:23.999+00:00Hi lovethescents,

No embellished cushions, or scatter cushions, or decorative ones.

There are some very shiny / chintzy curtains at the top of my stairs that I am sure date from that era - the texture is so waxy it is reminiscent of an oiled tablecloth or a Barbour coat!<br /><br />I haven't seen that Ben Stiller clip, but it sounds very amusing and I can relate to his feelings - there is an optimumVanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061118895694909457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-57739529833172505602013-02-11T12:09:28.920+00:002013-02-11T12:09:28.920+00:00Really enjoyed this post, V.

Do you remember when duvets first came in, people called them "continental quilts"?!<br /><br />I love your cushions. I bet they fit your decor perfectly.

I think you are quite right about the general lack of perfume-themed textiles around. I think Ari has a perfume-themed dress that is very cute. But when it comes to clothes, I think I'd need to be a lot younger and girly-cuter to pull off anything themed!Nataliehttp://www.anotherperfumeblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
