Three Ingenious Ways To Decorate You Cushion Covers
Want to spruce up your home? Feel it lacks that luster? Or does it just look out of date or plain boring? But with the recession, you have little to spend on home décor. So why not instead re-use your old cushions covers and give them a new look by adding fabrics trims, appliqué and ribbons. Read on for a few ideas to get you inspired.
Add A Gorgeous Fabric Slip:
A fabric slip can reinvent your old plain cushions, turning them into beautiful and fashionable home décor. To create a slip for your cushion covers, choose a fabric that goes well with you décor scheme. Flowery, glitzy and shimmery fabrics jazz up your boring cushion covers and can be easily changed when you redecorate your house, as you don't need to buy new cushion covers, rather you can make as lip again. Slips look best when vertical on the cushion covers, giving the impression of a fabric sewed on in the centre of the cushion. Add luxurious velvet or laces trims onto the longest sides and your cushion cover slip will make your cushion cover look like it's from a professional designer! (Note: Don't forget to measure out of the size of the cushion length/width wise and leave a 1.5 cm at least for seam allowances).
Add Ribbons/Trims:
A simple way to decorate your cushion cover is by using ribbons or fabric trims. Gather together a selection or ribbons and fabric trims that go well together to give your desired look. A good look to go for is a striped effect using patterned and coloured ribbons/ fabric trims alternately. You can use up to around 5 different ribbons/fabric trims, which can be different patterns, colours or widths to get a fashionable and aesthetically pleasing look. With this design, you'll need to either make the cushion yourself; putting the ribbons on the front when the cushion cover is still not yet together, or undo the seams of a current cushion cover.
Add Buttons:
This ingenious idea lets you recycle all those buttons you have saved over all those years or that have been ‘lost' in your jewellery box. Buttons can be highly versatile as you can embellish them using your own design or sew buttons into a simple pattern at equal distances. Circular appliqués designs work well using a variety of button sizes and sequins. Whilst pearl or gemstone buttons look nice sewed into lines at equal distances. Remember to opt for buttons that don't stick out, you want them to be comfortable after all! (Note: This method requires that you hand sew the buttons on with a fine needle).

Strong vinegar/water solution and a BRUSH. The oders are in the fabric. You need to get into the fibers not just the surface of the fabric. Anything plastic or wood can retain smells if not cleaned, too. Most plastics will retain the smells and may be improve. The UV rays of the sun eliminates oders. Even skunk smell will disappear after 2-3 days of intense sun days. When dry, you can use pet carpet deorderant of baking soda sprinkled on it. Allow to sit on fabric for a couple hours before vacuuming.

Chair Cushions, Gazebo, or Umbrella - Which Outdoor Accessory is Right for You?
Patio accessories are the cherry on top of the sundae. They're what sets your back yard apart from the other yards. Patio chair cushions give your furniture color and comfort, umbrellas give you shade and can set the tone of your yard, and gazebos, arbors, and outdoor appliances add luxury and style. Of course you don't have to have all of these accessories in your yard to have a unique and amazing space. Let's take a look at 5 outdoor accessories, what they can do for your yard and if they're right for your outdoor space.
Umbrellas. Umbrellas aren't just for beach sand anymore. They are an ideal accessory to create a focal point in your outdoor room. Patio umbrellas come in a variety of colors to add splash to any back yard. They also come in more subdued colors and materials like tan canvas with a wood frame to fit into a more natural atmosphere.
There are some things you will want to consider when choosing an umbrella. Patio umbrellas come in a wide variety of sizes. Make sure you buy an umbrella that is large enough to cover all the guests at your table. You don't have to match your umbrella color and fabric to your patio chair cushions but you certainly can. Umbrellas and cushions come in more colors and fabrics than the dresses on an Oscar night red carpet. You have your pick of anything!
It is also important to know that not all umbrellas close. If you want your umbrella to close, usually a good idea if you live in an area where the weather isn't perfect 24/7, then you'll want an umbrella that closes. If you live somewhere with perfect weather every single day - give me a call!
Gazebos. Gazebos are making a comeback. And like any other accessory they come in just about every imaginable size and purpose. You can get a gazebo kit designed to fit two and tuck it into a back yard corner or you can buy a gazebo kit that fits 20 and attaches to your deck or patio. Gazebos are not for the faint of heart, as they can cost a lot to be designed and built however you can also purchase gazebo kits.
The important thing to remember when adding a gazebo to your yard is to place it in the most ideal location, the location that makes it the most user friendly for you. For some that will mean having it set in the place that holds the best view of your garden or home, for others it will be the space that is the most private.
Patio chair cushions. Patio chair cushions are the easiest way to add class and comfort to your outdoor space. Patio chair cushions are available for just about every patio chair you can imagine. Whether you have a country porch swing or a collection of Adirondack chairs facing west to watch the setting sun, a patio chair cushion makes a difference in the comfort and beauty of your space. Patio chair cushions also come in many colors and fabrics. The most durable fabrics are the easy to clean cotton canvas cushions.
Outdoor appliances. Stoves, ovens, grills, and outdoor refrigerators can easily turn your backyard into a complete entertainment room designed for professional chefs. Of course not everyone is in the market to spend thousands on appliances and a simple grill to cook burgers on will do the trick. When looking for a grill or outdoor appliance make sure you have enough space to make them fit safely into your yard or deck. Most often this requires running gas lines to your home so plan on a little construction.
Planter boxes. On a smaller scale but no less dramatic, planter boxes can add a bit of color and natural life to your deck or patio. Planter boxes can be shaped to take on any form or structure you like. For example you can build a bench, place a colorful patio chair cushion on it and balance the color of the cushion with flowers in the adjoining planter boxes. If you live in an arid climate your planter boxes can be filled with succulents and cacti. Planter boxes can also be placed in strategic locations throughout your yard to create focal points. From small succulents to large ornamental trees - planter boxes can support a large variety of plant life.
As you can see there are large number of options to add polish and personality to your backyard space. Whatever your style, budget or backyard needs there are accessories for you and you don't have to break the bank to do it. Simple touches like quality patio chair cushions and a few well placed planter boxes can set the perfect note.
