Our living room was finally starting to come together. We got a great deal on a simple 1950s modern side table at an antique store down in Pacifica. Finally we settled on an "apartment" size sofa. The blue/grey/brown color scheme was turning out nicely.
But some things were missing to tie the room together -- textiles! That is what really makes a room feel complete and comfortable. The pillows came first. Patrick had inherited a scrap quilt from his great-grandmother and there were extra quilt squares. Of coarse that meant a sewing project for me! So I pieced four of the squares together and matched them with some light blue cotton from my stash to make pillow shams. I was a little nervous to sew on fabric from the 1960s but they turned out great.
Rug shopping was not that fun but we finally found one we liked and it was on sale! According to David it's based on Josef Albers. I don't think CB2 acknowledges that anywhere...but we like it.
