Looking for velvet pillows??

While sourcing products for a client I came across these fantastic pillows at Urban Outfitters. I was pleasantly surprised!

I am also loving these pillows from Pier 1. Great price for a velvet pillow {$20} and come in such pretty colors! You have to see them in person!

I Can Sew!!!

While my sweet father was working hard on tiling the laundry room this weekend, my mother and I stole away to sew my first pillow!!





Does that pattern look familiar?! It's not as hard as I thought it would be, but I still have a lot to learn. Thank you, Mom! You are the best!

**Tiling is complete, just still cleaning up grout. Pictures soon!

IKEA: Textiles

While at IKEA, I found many new textiles that would work perfectly for our home and our budget.

I knew before going that I was going to be purchasing curtains for the living room, I just didn't know which ones. When I saw the MERETE at $20 for a pair, my decision was made easy. They make such a huge difference! We hung them right below the ceiling to make the room appear a little taller.



Another thing I knew I wanted was a sheepskin. I had a sneaky suspicion that Ellie would love curling up on it for naps and boy, was I right! She loves it!



While browsing through the textile department, I came across these awesome ethnic black and white pillows. They are a really thick cotton and I knew they would go perfectly with my Chiang Mai beauties.



I am not really sure if this counts as a textile, but I figured I would throw it in. This fun, geometric doormat only set us back $5!!!



And the best for last... I saw this 7x9 rug and knew it had to be mine! It goes perfectly under our new dining room table, which I will be revealing next week. {No, it isn't from IKEA!}

Pillow Bliss

The pillows are finally here!!! I couldn't be more thrilled or pleased; they look amazing! I worked with Etsy seller MartiniSQ and I would definitely recommend her for anyone who is looking to have some custom pillows made. Anyway, here they are in all their glory!





I need to find a few more pillows to put on the couch with these two. I am thinking something pretty subtle since these two are very bright and punchy.

Eye Candy

Two of these are in my near future.



I teamed up with a gal from Etsy to make these for me. I ordered the fabric yesterday, but it won't be coming in for a few weeks. They are going to go on the couch in the living room and will serve as the color inspiration for the entire room. I can't wait!

Etsy Pillows

We are getting new living room furniture in a little over a week (we have been waiting for almost a whole MONTH) and are going to need some fun pillows to liven things up a bit. I am trying to stay pretty neutral with all of the furniture/walls so I can change accessories out as I want. I have been casually looking at throw pillows for a long time and haven't seen anything extraordinary so I decided to take a peek at Etsy. There are so many pretties, I won't be able to choose!

Here are just a few that caught my eye!
