BENCH SEAT CUSHION

My bench seat cushion came this morning! I took some quick pictures of it, but don't judge because I need to add pillows, etc. to finish the space off.

I love the fabric and I'm really happy with the comfort of the cushion. As with all cushions it needs a couple of days to settle into the space.




Now I just need to add pillows and some coral accents into my family room, since this is the first introduction of color to my predominately beige linen + white room.

I've been eying this console from Blu Dot for a long time. It's a lot more modern than the rest of my house, but that's why I like it, and that's why I'm hesitant. I think I might go for it and order it. It would tie the room together and I can put some great lamps on it and some pictures.


This console would go under my very large mirror...

Yes, that is my 3 year old daughter watching cartoons on the couch and sucking her thumb while her Mom blogs :) 

So what do you think? Too risky to put such a modern console in such a traditional space?

  1. No, I think the edge of the modern piece will be a great juxtaposition to the traditional elements. I've been itching to add a little modern pop to my house too. I love the cushion, fresh and beautiful.

  5. I love the cushioned bench window seat. I'd really love to ask your opinion on what to do with my kitchen eating area. I'd love a built in seat in my octagon shaped eating are.

    Sorry - I'm not loving the console table. It's just too modern for my tastes and I think that it would stand out too much and become a focal point in the room. If it were my house (don't I wish) I'd go for something more neutral like your couch and kitchen table and then add pop with accents and chachkies. JMO...

  6. I love the combo! DO IT. I tried to convince my husband to buy the strut table for our dining room, but we went for a CB2 Blox table instead. I LOVE the pop of red. It'd look so classy together!

    P.S. Just found your blog through Miranda (letterpress printer), she sent me a sample of some business cards she printed. I saw that you're located just blocks from where I grew up so I had to check out your blog. I love your style!

    1. The fabric on my sofa is from Silver State Textiles and its from their Nanotex line - called Fenton in Natural. This is by far my favorite fabric I've used in my house.
