Pillows

For today's "We-flecting Wednesday" I want to share another little favorite of mine that very much falls into a similar category of favorites as curtains do, like my previous post. I really like pillows. I never really cared so much for them growing up, other than using the one for my head at night. But now that I am older and have my own place I love how they can really add to a room (mostly beds or couches). They can really make the difference in a plain room, or a comfortable, welcoming and inviting room, and I always love a comfy feeling, especially on a couch or bed.

Since decor pillows are well, super expensive in my book, I love to make them. So here are some fun pillows that I have made in the past, and they are still in current use. Some of these I have made more recently, while others we've had for a while.

 Remember this lovely bench that my hubby and I put together, back in THIS venture? Well I thought it would be fun to show off these pillows again, since I am on the subject. I love that the pillows can be switched around to different positions to add a little extra variety and change once in a while to the room

 Using the same pillows  seen up above, plus two more of the patched square ones, I like to add them to our couches at times to give them a little color and life, plus.. . . . .

 I like how using the pillows can give our living room a sense of unity and matchy matchy to our couches, even though they don't fully match. We also got two free pillows with the futon (which is the solid brown ones), so mixing them all together adds a nice little touch to the room. I just really like pillows!

 Then in our bedroom I made these lovely purple ones and the body pillow case, a while ago, and they match the same curtains you saw in the previous post. They aren't super fancy, or super big, but just enough to satisfy my pillow crave and make the bed look that much more complete and nice :)

 Here is a little closer look at them. I really like the long tub like pillows, so easy to make and they also work as a great pillow to rest between my legs when my back is hurting at night, so this one is not just for fancy looks! Yeah for pillows!

Then on a final and less fancy pillow note, check out our own personal pillows! I got a two pack of pillows and decorated the "I love Michael" pillow, and added different things on it for why I love my hubby and then had it on his bed waiting for him that night to greet him with some nice thoughts. Then I also very obviously with a little of inconspicuousness, left the blank pillow case (that soon became my pillow case) along with the left over fabric paints in an area my hubby could see and make one for me so that we would have matchy matchy pillow cases. They are nice reminders why we like each other :) not that we necessarily need a reminder. If you don't have a significant other this could be a fun idea for a little kiddo or a good friend (in a non-creepy stocking sort of way).

So there we have it for this lovely Wednesday. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a super great day!

Until next time! . . . .
