New Cushions for the house

I woke up the other day thinking I need a sofa cushion change. Do you sometimes wake up like that ?

So I looked at my fabric stash and unearthed a set of coffee/farming themed cotton/linen panels that I bought ages ago from Etsy (not available anymore). I just love when you buy something knowing you will use it for something special.



I have seen these panels used as totes and also as cushions and they actually make a perfect 45 cm cushion cover. The bottom cushion cover is larger and I used a home decor newspaper print that I bought at Tikki across the road.



And they are perfect for me because I love a good coffee and I am a total coffee snob. I don't smoke (anyymore) and I don't drink (anymore) buy I do appreciate a good coffee.  I don't have a fancy espresso machine at home but I do use fresh beans and have a coffee grinder and I make my espresso in a box-standard Italian stove top and froth my milk for my morning latte in a milk foamer from Nespresso. They are really good.


When I am out and about I go out of my way to find a good coffee bar or cafe and only go to some of the well known chains in total coffee emergencies.

How about you ? Are you as difficult when it comes to coffee as I am ? By the way I also love tea but that is another story for another day.

  1. I am a coffee wimp - I actually like the chain coffee places because their coffee basically doesn't taste of coffee - I can't take the hard stuff! Love a good tea though. The pillows look fab!

  2. after living in Melbourne for 8 years I am a total coffee snob, which doesn't bode well for life in Indonesia! The best I can get here is Starbucks - and it pains me to say that!!

  3. I'm a weakling when it comes to coffee, short shot of expresso first thing or americano later in the day.
