Pillow Inspiration

    Pillows, by far, are one of the most economical ways to add splashes of color and texture to a room.  I especially love using pillows made of solid fabrics and adding a decorative trim.  It is nice to throw a couple of these into the mix of patterned pillows. They are super easy to make using ribbon trim applied with iron on heat and bond.

    Here are a few inspiration photos.

      3. Wow, what a great collection of inspiration photos! I had no idea that the detail was to easy to apply. Good to know as we're always in need of some pillow covers and shopping at the fabric store offers so many more inspiring options!

      4. Pillows and accessory changes are are one of the least expensive ways to update a room. I change them in my guest bedroom every season. These pictures are gorgeous - love the geometric designs in particular.

      11. Love Pillows. I have them piled on my bed...hubby is always teasing me about them. We have about four different comforter sets and each has scads of coordinating pillows. Also use pillows to change color and theme in my family room. Love all the photos you posted. If only I had the room to store more pillows. Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration. I love your blog and enjoyed my little visit here.

      12. Love your inspiration pics. And, I love the idea of adding greek trim (or any trim) on a solid pillow. Saw some solid velvet pillows at Crate & Barrel this w/e. I think I spotted some on sale at Ballard Designs too!! Hmmm...you have me thinking!!
