I've been playing around this week changing the feel of my couch. I have been
wanting a more shabby relaxed feel so I've been rearranging/making pillows and had an
A-HA moment!!
wanting a more shabby relaxed feel so I've been rearranging/making pillows and had an
A-HA moment!!
I remembered that I had a couple vintage dish towels that I had bought early last year at a antique fair. One was absolutely perfect with gray and red stripes. I checked my MANY pillow forms and sure enough I had one that fit. It's like it's meant to be
I just used a drop cloth on the back, created an envelope closing and presto I have a pillow
The No.7 (my favorite number) and the red and white ticking pillows were made last year
The 2 large pillows are from Ikea called Ursula for $12
I made the French-y pillow yesterday. I found the graphics on Graphics Fairy
I used 2 different images and created this beauty. I was thinking of selling one
like it on my Etsy store. What do ya think?
I really like how clean and fresh it looks now
Now I think I wanna make find a soft gray pillow and I'll be a happy girl
Just not sure how or what I want it to look like quit yet
Maybe a Union Jack white and gray pillow ... Hmmmmm ????

I love your new pillows. I made white slipcovers in the summer and went with buffalo check pillows, 2 red, 2 blue. I have been wanting a change, but can't find the fabric I want. Your idea is a great alternative.
Thanks for the inspiration.
The pillows and your sofa look wonderful together.

Love the pillows. It all looks so crisp and WHITE. I don't think things would stay that pretty and white at my house long.

So lovely! I love your blog. I'm a new follower ;)
Perfect! It looks great! Thank you for sharing at Rustic Restorations Weekend!
Love all of your pillows!!
Thanks for checking out my post about the junk I found, Deanna. It's true that the fun is in the hunt and the finding. I am just loving those dirty, chipped, cracked and kinda ugly little cement frogs I found. I would never buy a cement frog and if someone gave them to me, I'd think they were junk, but because I plucked them from a trash pile as a treasure, I'm loving them. It's picker's magic.

With all the rectangles, maybe let the grey pillow be round. Good luck! :)
