Pillows for a Punch

Thank you for the sweet comments on my last post.  Overwhelmingly, no one chastised me on my big old mess... most inquired of my paint color.  I love, love, love it!  Sherwin Williams "Quietude" (6212). We painted almost three years ago, and I do know that these companies tend to change names, but they CAN find it!  Anyway, it is divine and certainly lives up to its name.  Thank you for asking!

I must be in a house mode as today, I am celebrating my new throw pillows in our Great Room.  Mike was tired of the sofa and thought that getting slipcovers made would be a nice change.  Silly man, don't you know that custom slipcovers cost a must as getting something recovered?  And with these two testosteron-y boys, that just isn't happening!  So we I opted for new pillows.  Our old ones were very dirty and dated, when palmetto and palm trees were all the rage down here.  Pretty, but I needed a "punch".

Here are the new ones... I don't like the picture, 
but I promise it looks fabulous!

Here they are up close.  They are kind of "tweedy" and I love the cording...I chose cording because fringe and loops are just too tempting for even the most disciplined boys! 

How would you like to add a "punch" to your room?

  7. Beautiful color & fabric and I tend to like cording best. I have a couch and two loveseats that need new slipcovers (no way can we get new ones) but, you're right for the cost, we might as well almost be buying new furniture.
    Happy Mother's Day!

  10. Oooo, I like the new pillows! It's amazing what some accessories and color can do to update a room. Our new sofa arrived last week, so that's been my way of updating our space. I love it - so very comfortable and much more stylish looking than the old one. You have a lovely home!
