Pillow Talk

Awhile back I wrote about the magical effect a little lampshade change-up had in our master bedroom.

Well now, some new pillows have me falling back in love with my sofa.

First let me introduce you to our sofa. When my sweetheart and I moved into our first apartment we had no table and only one chair between us - an old recliner from my grandparents. After about three months of hanging out on the floor and taking turns in the recliner, we gathered our funds together and made our first furniture purchase - this sofa. It's the only new piece of furniture we've bought and was quite the investment for us, not to mention a considerable decision for me to make in my first days of homemaking.

She's already been through lots of spills, wear and tear in the last five years. She's become rather lumpy. But we're counting on her holding up for a good many years to come - the point is that this is no time to be falling out of love with my sofa. And really there was no reason too. Just like the lamps, this couch still has loads of potential....

She just needed some new accessories.

Voila! New pillows. I can't even begin to tell you how happy these are making our family room. The colors and textures so perfectly tweak that olive green, the sofa almost feels brand-new.

I was instantly smitten with the blue/green poof at Urban Outfitters - I love the shape and knew the color would look great with the curtains in this room.

The yellow roses almost found me. Honest, I wasn't even looking for pillows at Target, but there she was all by her lonesome on a Clearance end-cap for 50% off - I couldn't believe it.

So again I ask you, What around your home just needs little facelift to feel lovely again?
