SO I have been wanting new pillows for quite some time now.....um like a year. The old red and yellow ones had seen better days and I kind of wanted to spruce things up with a new look anyway.
I had seen these on the nevavon shop on Etsy months ago and I have longed for them every since... (look around at her pillows, LOVE them!)
The master plan was 2 of them, mixed with some plain tan pillows, then perhaps one or two more pillows to pull the colors out of the rug...but I just kept putting off shopping due to paying for things like groceries and utility bills ( I know, Right!?)
BUT then I walked into Costco and saw these great tan pillows for $7+/- each and I figured I shouldn't pass them up and I should get my pillow shopping on!
They weren't exactly what I was envisioning, but for $7 come on over and spill red wine on them and I won't even get mad at you. So after getting those, I splurged on my Etsy ones and even though I still need to get 1 or 2 more pillows to pull out the muted red and butter cream yellow colors in the rug, I think the couch is MUCH improved. One more pillow shopping trip and that ghetto hand-me-down couch is going to look SUPER CLASSY if I do say so myself! : )
(Please also note the white throw I got on a recent trip to Ikea with Erin, to hide the mis-matched cushion.)

I wanted to get this pillow from the joom shop on Etsy as my sassy colorful one, but I now that I have the others on the couch, I am not sure this will really do the trick to tie the rug in... Fun though.

WHEW! That makes ME feel better and I don't even live there anymore!
ReplyDeleteWhile I would have described them as "maroon and gold", not "red and yellow" they were old (um...I think Home Goods circa 2004) and super nasty....and I love the new ones! Yay!
yeah they were way nasty, it was very satisfying to throw them away. haha
