It's a Cover-Up

Now that my chairs are nearing completion (I really shouldn't speak so soon, but whatever), I need to take care of the pattern problem in the front room. Here's what I'm dealing with:

•  The chair pattern, upper left
• The sofa pattern, upper right
• The rug pattern, lower right
• The pattern at the bottom of the curtains, lower left

And while I love to mix and match patterns, they are all together on the same side of the room. Add to that a piano that really doesn't fit the room, and so precludes many, many furniture arrangements that might make these patterns work. Oh, and...eventually, I want to make a piano cover from the same material as the curtain pattern.

Okay, so you can see we're getting a little crazy here.

I found a new overstock store in our little valley called "Go Bananas". When I went in, they had their furniture slipcovers half off their lower price. So...I got a little something for the sofa.

Oh, yeah, that's what I'm talking about. A little serenity in the middle of chaos. It's gets even better when I add pillows:

Granted, these pillows are a little too red. I need some orange or sage green or even cranberry. The two pillows on the sofa are cranberry, and they work quite well.

Once I started adding pillows, I started getting really excited. Now I can see what people mean by changing pillows for the season. So, definitely going orange for fall. Yeah, baby!
