I'm still in cushion mode and these are my most recent efforts. They are not for the boatshed but for an 1890s house. Because the house is Victorian, I decided to use up a Laura Ashley remnant for the side cushions. However, to bring the look into the twenty-first century, I trimmed them with Amy Butler remnants. Amy's William Morris-esque designs went perfectly with Laura's sprigs and hopefully offset any potential tweeness:
In the dining room, I used some Amy Butler fabric from the Midwest Modern II collection to brighten up this 80s chair:
The chair on the right (below) also has a cushion out of this fabric. You can see from this little grouping that I don't mind mixing my eras. The T. H. Brown dining chair on the left is very mid-century, but hopefully still looks OK with the earlier chair and dresser:
Here's a cushion closeup:
All the furniture in the bottom three images was found in op shops.

Everything in the first image tones in so beautifully. Love the cushions and what a cute little table!!
Those cushions look great! I don't think you're in danger of ever being twee ;-)
And that T. H. Brown chair, oh my. It's just so cool.
Love the cushions.
