The whole universe on the sofa

This is just a quick post as I'm busy finishing off all the DIY projects I started to decorate my flat. The latest thing I've finished are two cushions that have been given a lease of life a la Christopher Kane Resort 2011.
I found a very cheap maxi dress with a print similar to that of the Galaxy print Kane has used in the resort '11 collection, but after trying it on (I looked absolutely ridiculous), I decided it needed a new lease of life.

I'm so happy with them as I'm pretty sure there's nothing else like them around in any home shops I've been in :) My boyfriend thinks they're great too, but then again anything remotely Star Wars/space related gets him excited! I'd love to know what you think of these, whether they're cool, or whether I'm going slightly mad!
