Inspiration can be found anywhere, sometimes in the most unlikely places.
I owe this week's inspiration to a good friend. C has many passions, but, by her own admission, decorating is not one of them. Even so, over the past couple weeks, she made simple changes that had a big impact. She cleared a bit of clutter and added colorful pottery to a couple shelves, added new throw pillows, and replaced a "well-loved" ottoman. The room looks fantastic.
My friend reminded me that the feel of a room is in the details. Changing throw pillows is a fast, inexpensive and very effective way to add a new color, change decor with the seasons, or just have a little decorating fun.
Now inspired, I set off to create a couple pillows. These red fabric scraps were plucked from a plastic storage bin and put to work. There weren't any pieces large enough to cover a whole pillow, so they ended up as a bit of patchwork. Love how they turned out...even got a compliment from my better half. Well, he asked, "Can we keep those?" That's a compliment, right???
If you don't sew, Home Goods, Target, Ikea, and Etsy have adorable pillows for an affordable price.
Also found these fun blue scraps and vintage tea towel...more pillows to come.
Happy Friday!
