New in Store - Ginkgo leaf inspired cushion cover

 The newest item in our store is this lovely throw pillow embroidered with ginkgo leaves.

I love everything Japanese from their food to the simple elegance of Japanese decor.One of the many symbols used in Japanese decor is the ginkgo leaf. For centuries, the people of Japan—and of the world—have been inspired by the beauty of the ginkgo tree and its unusually leaves. The ginkgo leaf is a popular motif in Japanese art, ceramics, textiles, family crests, symbols or logos. In the East, it is considered a symbol of longevity, hope, resilience and peace. The tree itself is know to live for over 2000 years.

This cushion cover is made from art silk fabric paneled and elegantly embroidered with ginkgo leaves. The fabric is in pastel shades of peach, gray and white with a teal blue silk band , the leaves have been embroidered in shades of brown and blue.


It has also been finished with our signature invisible zip. The size is 16X16 inches but can be custom made in the size you require.

 I would like to dedicate this blog post to Japanese people even as they recover from disaster. My heart and prayers go out to them. This leaf is symbolic of who they are as a people and I wish them hope and blessings at this time.

Trends for 2009

Cushions are a great way to add a touch of elegance and luxury to your home at very little cost. Splurge on a few beautiful cushions to add gasp of ' oh wow' to a room or to add that designer touch.


One of easiest ways to do this would be match the wall paper in your home. The latest trend in wallpaper is Damask designs. You can either use the wall paper print on your cushion or pick one of the more prominent colors on your wall paper and match your cushion covers to this. Sometimes it is nice to use one or two cushions that stand out and mix it with solid colored cushions or cushions with a simpler design.

Bold unusual color combination is another home decor trend for 2009. If you have a dull wall color or your sofa upholstery is starting to fade . A cost effective way to brighten up your room is adding some bright unusual cushions and throws. So that these are what people notice and pay attention too, not your worn out sofa. Combine some lovely intricately designed cushion covers with simpler designs to to liven up your room.

Retro brights like yellows ( acid citrus shades) are also in. Accents with bold shapes and colors create an easy retro feel.


Geo metrics are also in . For that simple and understated look geometric are the way to go. But don't use too much of the same shape. Combine different shapes in dark tones and metallic hints that are so trendy right now.

Opulence is in! But then again opulence and luxury has always been in. :) You can use metallic shades such as gold, silver, bronze, copper or pewter. Rich fabrics like satin, silk and velvet also add to this rich , elegant. look.

Vintage glamor is also an extension of the trend towards luxury. Achieve this look using sheer fabrics and soft colors.

Going Natural is also another home decor trend. Eco Homes made out of simple natural are the trend that can be translated into your soft furnishings with natural patterns and colors.
