Pillow Duvet~

I have been thinking and thinking about what to do with our pillows in the living room. Our colors are red, black, and tan/cream. It makes for a pretty mix, but our pillows were bright green and black with this floral print. Obviously purchasing new pillows were not in the picture, so a pillow cover or pillow duvet was in order.

Okay, so I love all the little frilly decorations they are putting on women's shirts these days and I thought, why not put it on a pillow. This job was on my summer to do list and on Sunday Lexi asked if I wanted to do a sporadic craft day. I knew at that moment it was the day for the pillows. We went to Jo-Ann Fabrics picked up some black material and red sheer material, Lexi shared a coupon. And the job was ready to be started. A huge shout out to Lexi for making the covers for me. I did the decor though and I was surprisingly proud of the job that I did! Here are the final projects:

This is the way they look on the couch (for now):

Then I had some red sheer material left over so I added a little color to these not so color frames. I think it helps tie everything together!:

And voila!! Now I will smile everytime I see those matching pillows, instead of green and black floral. YIPPEE!! Plus my roomie, Jackie, said she liked them without my asking!!! Yay!! I'd say its a success.

Also, there is a blog coming with all the gruesome details of my MPO trip. Get ready because they are good!
