Every morning and evening I go through the palaver of removing and replacing cushions on our bed, every bed in the house has a cushion arrangement!

It always seems a shame to throw them on the floor each evening and then there’s the huffing and puffing when my husband tries to replace them in the morning but gets it hopelessly wrong.

Do you fiddle and faff with cushions or could you not give a flying fig?

Pictures please.

shysal we have to do the smoothing away of bum prints on our sofas too!
What a grand display of cushions we have between us all?

I got my donkey cushion at Dunelm tillytrotter but had to get a photo of it online as I’m away from home atm and the picture says The Range so they may stick them too.

I love your bedding Kitty

crossstitchfan your sofa is splendid. Looks elegant but still comfy.

Thank you! I love it and it is very comfy.
(It looks it’s best when my baby great-grandson is having his nap on there!)

Ha ha. Good.

Well here are more cushions - based on the Isnic tiles at Leighton House.

2 cats, one cushion and a runner - sorry no orchid.

That is a very pretty picture, Kittylester. It looks so welcoming and homely, and the little cat looks so content. Just what a home should be like!

I am a cushion fan, they adorn every bed (even the GC’s) in the house. Sofas and chairs have lots, I find it comforting to snuggle down surrounded by softness.

Cannot show pictures as we have builders in and are living in rather chaotic conditions at the moment.

Crossstitchfan Sun 31-Aug-25 10:42:41

I like cushions. I think my sofa would look very bare without them.

What a gorgeous cat!😍So clean, looks like the furry tum has just been washed in the machine.😄Makes you want to give it a hug.

I can oblige with the cat photo, this is Molly, who loves the conservatory.

Usedtobeblonde Sun 31-Aug-25 10:29:14

Not only do I have one fake orchids in my hall, I have two.
I have a smaller one at the other end of the hall. It is on a table under a mirror.
I just went to take a photograph of it when I realised there was a wrinkly old woman, still in her dressing gown staring into the camera, a reflection in the mirror.
I can’t inflict that on you on Sunday morning but I have now informed you of the fact.

I have a matching cushion on the main guest bed but not on the beds we use everyday.
I do have very large bright cushions in the living room, however, silver and fuchsia.

Cushions on the conservatory chaise

Oh Boz I am suffering from cushion envy..

The lady on the left is Leonardo de Vinci and can be obtained for £5 from Ebay. Paoletti cushions.

Can anyone help me with cushion on the right? It was a gift. Obviously a section of a old picture. Might be Tudor (ruff)
