Gratuitous cushion photo

Living room with Florence Broadhurst's circles and squares cushions

The new Florence Broadhurst cushions in the lounge room are winners. It makes our living area so much cosier, but with a punch of elegance.

We are enjoying plumping and adjusting these beauties.

Thanks again to Jo from Desire to Inspire for her generosity, which you can read about here.

  1. Ooooh! Was just about to hit the sack when I saw your post! Lounge room looks very swanky! Anita,
    Love the cushions. Love the orange lamp. It's all very on-message! (election speak)

    I think I may have your chairs ... though I'd need to see the back of them. Made by a company in Brisbane, I think?

    I also explained the green decanter in my comments, if you're still interested.

  8. Hey Anita, they look fab...they also make good missiles for young boys to throw at each other I have found haha. The lamp looks good there, picks up the colour of the painting or is it screen print behind, cheers Katherine

  11. Yes, it is a screen print by late Gold Coast artist Veda Arrowsmith. It's called Envelopment and is dated 1975.
    And Trish, I can't take the credit for sewing the cushions. These were already sewn and ready to go when I got them from Jo...

  12. Anita,
    yes, just looked at my chairs. They are Vuer, too! Mine used to be 'patient waiting room' chairs in my Dad's surgery in Surfers Paradise during the early 70s.

    Interested to know where you picked yours up from!

    Love the mustard vinyl.

  13. I love. I think you can go o-board with cushions but these work so well. And isn't Jo so sweet. What a lovely person. I thought she lived in Melbourne for some reason but obviously not!!

    Nice things happen to nice people. xo

  21. Are they photos of gratuitous cushions or gratuitous photos of cushions? Either way, I say it's neither. Bless the kind Lurker.
