Derwent Cove Cushions
|
|
The bold diagonal stripe pattern in these Derwent Cove Cushions captures the very essence of summer.
The colours evoke memories of holidays spent by the coast …lazy days watching the yachts heading out to sea …the waves from a passing fishing boat disturbing the calm surface of the water at sunset. Whether you make just one cushion or a whole set, it will bring summer right into your living room to last well into the chill of the next season. . For more details, please see below .
