It felt so, so uninspired. 

 There are a couple good elements:  a neutral (though not beige) sofa with a triptych on the wall by Joy Saville. a large architectural cabinet turned coffee table (yes you can rest your feet on it) and vaulted ceilings.   I love color and I like texture and I am smart enough to know that to feel at home and comfortable there have to be elements which scream:  "Take me.  I'm yours!".  I need throw pillows and quick as I noticed the seasons were a-changin' here near the Pacific Ocean I went on the hunt for inspiration and ideas.

Yes I can do these.  Primitive.  Basic.  A few layers and some hand stitching and I'll have something unique.

What's more I can do these in vibrant colors and various textures.  First step is finding the right felt pieces and designing some different scenes.  And here's some inspiration by Alexandra Ferguson.
