On Charcoal and Mustard

**Allow me to preface this post by apologizing for the horrendous quality of these pictures. The iPhone camera is never my friend when I need him.**

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you my living room:

 As far as rooms go, it's alright I guess. Comfortable and serviceable to be sure...but it's glaringly devoid of colour. This is something that definitely bothers my husband more than I, but I aim to please and thus have ordered up some new fabrics from my favourite Tonic Living. I'll be making a array of knife-edged pillows in an effort of inject a bit more pizzazz. 
I obviously err on the side of caution by choosing mustard as an accent for charcoal, but I already have some green in the room and these fabrics picked up on that as well. My first choice would probably be a pink or lavender, but the aforementioned husband is not a fan. I'll update as soon as I'm done! I'm off to do a bit of sewing; felted baby shoes and mittens are on the docket today. We'll also be decking the halls! 'Tis the Season, so they tell me!
