A quick pillow embellishment…..


The other day I was looking for antique pillows for the chairs in my livng room. I wasn’t able to find quite what I wanted so I pulled out these white linen pillows I already had.

Pillow1

I decided they needed a little something else so I applied these little monogram letter appliques in white.

You can get the appliques at Hobby Lobby and they come in a couple of different sizes and are also available in black and white. You just iron them on….very quick and easy!

Happy Wednesday my friends!!!!

New finds……

 

This past weekend we decided to get out of the house and take a little road trip to KC. The weather was nice so it was great to get out and enjoy a little sunshine.

I have wanted one of these little doorstops for years but they are typically pretty pricey. The dealer at the antique shop was having a sale in their booth…..50% off.

LR2

However when we got to the register to pay we were informed that the sale signs were in the wrong booth. We decided to go ahead and buy him anyways because he was still a good deal even if he wasn’t on sale.

I also purchased this lumbar pillow from Ballard Designs. The colors are so soft and pretty and go well with the check pillows that I already had.

Have a great week!

A new sofa…..and a few other changes!

 

It took a while but after a few delays the living room is finally finished. I didn’t make any huge changes, just new drapes and pillows. I also bought a different white sofa because I had planned to use the IKEA one that was in the living room somewhere else.

I love the back of the sofa…..so curvy and very romantic!

The fabric is a white matelasse….

The pillows are a blue check and are

monogrammed in cream with our intital and antlers underneath.

Embracing spring…with new pillows!



After reupholstering the chair in front of the armoire in the buffalo check fabric I decided the other side of the room needed a little check fabric too.

So….. I made a little slipcover for the Frenchy foot stool and two pillows for the sofa to tie everything together.

A new pillow……


I ordered this little pillow the other day…..
I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived because it matches
my drapes in the room perfectly.

The embroidery is so pretty ……..
and I love the piping done in just a little darker shade grey.

Have a great week my friends!!!!

My new antique French pillows……


I found these beautiful antique French Lefortier pillows while
 browsing on eBay one day.
I swear I find the best stuff when looking
for other things and stumble upon my new finds by accident!

Tapestry fragment pillow…..

-------

A couple of months ago I picked up this altar tapestry fragment.

I knew as soon as I spotted it,

it would make a gorgeous pillow.

Here you can see it rolled up with rosary beads draped over it.

I didn’t have the heart at first to cut it up into a pillow.

Life is short though and treasures are meant to be enjoyed not tucked away.

So, I bought an inexpensive

velvet pillow and applied the fragment to the top.

After cutting the fragment in half, I have just enough

left over to make a second  pillow.

I also picked up this little French

marble topped table the other day at an antique shop.

It has made in France stenciled on the bottom……

look at those cute little legs!!!

A little polish cleaned it up……

My new grain sack pillows….

 

A couple of years ago when we

were in Texas

 I bought a few grain sacks to make into pillows.

 I never had the heart to cut them up so there they sat nicely folded……..

The other day I finally decided to take the plunge and make them into pillows.

After all….what am I waiting for?

 I’m certainly not getting any younger!!!!
