What does it take to transform the look of a home in less than 30 minutes? Any home décor site will preach the same mantra in different words: bring out the silk cushion covers, add a few throws to the sofa, change the curtains, light a few candles, and make the bed with the finest linen you own.  There you go, no secret after all, huh? Yes, new upholstery in rich colors is all it takes to turn on the magic.

I went looking for what’s hot this festive season. Two stores that caught my fancy are Zara and Good Earth.

What I liked about Zara:

The embroidered with minute detailing, the liberal use of contrasting colors, and the sequined red cushion with the rich look. Don’t you think the red cushions will look great on a white/cream colored sofa?

I found it highly irresistible to share my find here - cribcandy. The site has a lot of good stuff to bookmark but what caught my eye were the quirky cushions; call it an obsession with cushions :) One look at these and I’m sure you’ll agree with me. The site is a time waster. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you :)
