Pillow-Palooza

Hello.  My name is Kate and I’m addicted to Etsy.

And really, is that so bad?  I mean, does it get any better than a virtual marketplace, accessible with the click of a button, filled with wares created by amateur and professional artists alike from around the globe?

Nope.  Didn’t think so.

My latest decorating obsession is pillows.  Funky throw-pillows seem to me to be one of the most economical ways to liven up a dull space… like cushy fluffs of art!   Revamp your old, worn out pillows with vibrant pillow-covers that you can interchange with the season (or your mood!).   Or, purchase a “statement pillow” (totally just made that up) to spruce up an entire room.

Considering my Etsy Infatuation, it shouldn’t come as much surprise that I’m scratching this pillow itch quite nicely with homemade finds…

Check out seller Alexandra Ferguson - how ridiculously fabulous are these felt pillows?

And the best part? Each pillow is made from approximately 4 recycled plastic water bottles, so your couch can be accessorized and smugly green!

How about LindyLou’s punchy covers?  At $10 – $20 a pop, they are perfect for switching up often!

A little more reserved, White Twig offers pillow covers with a calm, natural vibe.

Here’s White Twig creation featured in our second guest room:
