Other than ebay it is really hard to find a good Euro cover here in Canada. I have been looking for a very long time and nothing made me happy. I wanted something that would work with the greys and blues in my living room but was a pattern I could live with.
I was walking through a store the other day and found a shower curtain in a pattern I love and set to work sewing.
It beautifully blends the colours in my living room and is soft enough to not be jarring.
I especially love the view from behind the couch.
I wanted to sew but I am never good at the zipper and quit trying years ago, so instead I made a pocket. Trial and error has taught me to do a low pocket so that it is easier to get the pillow in. It also shows better from behind.
(not pretty I know!)
It's an easy trick and it works for me and my limited sewing skills.
I had to show this itty bitty orchid which is about 8 inches tall and came with the teeny tiny pot (with fleur de lis on it). I found it at Home Depot and have never seen such a small orchid. It is just charming. The mirrored lamp has a black shade but I just quickly wrapped in in gift wrap which hides the black well.
