Pillows!

Oh man, do I have thing for pillows. Such a 'thing' in fact that I can never decide on which pillows I want so I have been living with the same dull pillows for about 4 years now. In fact, my whole living room is dull. It needs sprucing. It needs....life. Enter: new pillows! (and some color...sheesh!)

Here's my boring old living room: (back in December...Christmas...forgive me. But the color palette is the same boring old blah neutral. Gold and burgundy...its killing me...)

So in with some color! I'm bring in a nice royal blue, some avocado green and a lighter shade of yellow...This is the start.
You can see bits of the colors in that pillow on the left...made from 2 giant pieces of fabric I picked up at an estate sale. Love that. And the blue pillow?? Picked that fabric up for a little over a $1 from the Joann's remnant bin and I have enough for a second pillow...I'm thinking something with a ruffle...These buttons are my favorite, they have a rustic woodsy feel.

Anyway, just walking by my living room and seeing this pillow makes me happy. Its a good start.

I love them! Can't wait to see what else you're going to do with the space.

I have bought fabric to re-cover my living room and office pillows AND curtains to fix into better curtains for my bedroom. Ah, time...

I have recently made pillows out of placemats... they are easy and inexpensive to make, and you can find tutorials around the web.
