A quick pillow embellishment……

 

I bought these grey velvet pillow

covers when H&M had them on sale a few months ago.

At the time I didn’t have a specific spot in mind for them but

they were such a good deal I couldn’t pass them up!

The pillow covers eventually found

a home on the slipcovered club chairs in the living room.

I loved the color with the neutral linen slipcovers but felt like they needed

just a little something……. so I added letter appliques.

I bought iron on appliques which look just like a stitched monogram.

The cost for two pillows was less than

$10 and it took about half an hour to complete.

What a great idea to add a monogram to those pillows! That instantly raised their chic level. Love the changes you've made so far, including that pretty rug!

Love those pillows and the chairs. Always love seeing your hutch. I wish mine had different sized nooks and shelving.
