Retro Fluff - Only for the Brave!

In my wonderings around thrift shops, I came across a vintage latch hook wall hanging. I decided to take it home with me and resurrect it to new Retro Life as a pair of cushions. My family have threatened to leave home if I actually display my recycled handiwork! But I reckon that a brave sort of minimalistic, industrial home with a few retro touches could embrace them well!
The type of home that has a whole lot of stuff from Studio Stalinga - Like this quirky clamp chair and these lively containerswith a pair of recycled telephone salt cellars on the table!Perhaps you agree with my family on the cushions... but I am sure you will agree with me about the innovative Dutch creativity of Studio Stalinga

This is so funny! Not sure what exactly to say about the cushions, but I guess "retro" is a good word (-:
Fortunately we all have differing tastes, and trends change in time.
Love your commitment to your work and your bravery!!

Hmm, just had to come back and see what others have said. Perhaps there are fewer brave people than we thought?
