At Twoheys we have a great selection of upholstery on our showroom floor. Some best sellers are so comfortable we always have them for you to come and try out in person. A simple change of upholstery often makes the style look completely different. This charcoal fabric shown below is new in the shop, we previously showed it in a light cream. The same modern clean lines but it now pops with the fuchsia toss cushions.
I thought this was a great article about embracing your home’s design as it is right now.
“As I write this, I can’t help but think about how crazy it’s going to be in a year (or two, or five) to look back at all the posts we’re seeing pop up on blogs right now with tips on how to deal with the current health crisis and the fact that many of us are quarantining ourselves. I sit here wondering how we’ll all be a little different after this time, and hope that these events will change us all for the better.”
“Many of you know that I’ve been on my own journey through self-work and a lot of it (in fact most of it) is all about self reflection. Time to sit in silence and meditate. Time for slowing down and taking better care of ourselves so that we can take better care of others. I feel like the past year of this type of work has been preparing me for this crazy situation in the best way possible. Of course, the fact that I’ve always been a bit of a homebody and an introvert at heart is certainly helpful. But in the past few months I’ve been working hard to create self care spaces in my home to support my new practices, and damn are they coming in handy now.” – Cassandra LaValle
I recommend that you go read Cassandra’s entire post I thought it was very relatable.
