Reupholstering

Here's the settee and chair I just covered. I need your opinion. Should I recover the pillows with this fabric, or use them the way they were, with the old cover fabric?

Great job, Bea :) I would recover the pillows with the fabric.

I have a question, Bea. Does the fabric on the first pillow have some brown in it? If so, I really like the contrast between that pillow and the new fabric. There may be a small amount of brown in the second pillow too, but for some reason I personally do not like that contrast as much as the first one.

I also like the contrast the first pillow has with the material. Maybe find a material with the same colors the first pillow has. It looks like the first pillow matches the wall covering & the cream in the material on the settee matches the trim.
Great job recovering them! Let us know what you decide.

I like it with no pillows myself. Looks great!

I love that settee. I looked for something like that for my Foyer. Just havent found the right piece yet. I enjoy the 'hunt' so I am in no hurry as usual. lol!

I kind of like the contrast looks. I think I like the first one. The second pillow looks too new looking... I think... I am bad at this...

Looks homey, I think. What do you think?

Actually the naked one looks the best...

I like the "naked" one also but I am not a big one for antiques. I usually gravitate toward clean lines and a distinct lack of clutter. They look beautiful, Bea.

Good job Bea, I would cover the pillows with the new fabric or leave it with no pillows.
