Body Pillows!

My seamstress guru who I found on ETSY (Jamie of 1200 Stitches)  has completed my body pillow covers.  I love them!  I bought the fabric from P Tree Textiles.  And the pillows ($9.00) are from Target.  Cannot wait to us them.  They are my new sofa cushions.

I received this inspiration from Lauren at her blog Pure Style Home .  She did a custom body pillow cushion cover for her bed.

Can't wait to show y'all the "after".

Cushion Covers!

Feast your eyes on my new cushion covers!

Well, what will be my new cushion covers...after I send them off to my ETSY seamstress/magician. I am too thrilled.

Troy has some chairs which are nice enough to keep but the covers need updating, so off to the fabric store I went and found this lovley shade of grey.

Did I ever mention that the foundational color palette for our house is Grey, White and Brown?  So thrilled.

My goal is to achieve this look/feel...



Oh, baby steps.

Brass Is Back? Cool.

So, as I've been checking in on the design blogs and reading my House Beautiful magazine(thx, Connie), I've been noticing a trend....or should I say a comeback?

Brass.

Being a child that grew up in the 80's...I am very familiar with this finish.  Anyone my age, definitely remembers their parent's brass bed, the brass dining room chandelier and the doorknobs and everything else!

So the 80's style brass was definitely what's stuck in mind when I kept reading that "brass is back".  "Oh Lord", I thought...Until I saw these beautiful pics

How fabulous!  These rooms are warm and timeless.  Soemthing about the brass gives...I don't know, a grown up feeling that's not trendy at all.  It's kind of old school and old world rolled up in one. I really like it.  And the hint of gold beautifully compliments so many wonderful colors.  I'm kind of excited.



So after seeing these pics, I basically changed my mind on the oil rubbed cubin pulls I ordered.  I can always send them back. I bit the $29 bullet on Amazon and ordered 10 of these babies below.  Can't wait.

So WDYT?

Next on my list?  A master bedroom chandelier.
