The cushions look simple enough that you could recover them easily yourself with some upholstery-grade barkcloth. Here in town, Hawai'i General Store in Wallingford has some nice barkcloth, but I'm not sure they've got upholstery stuff; Reprodepot Fabrics is in Burien, they're small, but all cool fabrics, including some barkcloth; and the last time I was at Pacific Fabrics at the big Northgate store, they had a number of barkcloth upholstery fabrics, but they weren't all together in one place. You don't want to go all Laura Ashley, but you could do coordinated throw pillows and curtains.
