Since I wanted my blog to be about me trying to break into (and hopefully succeeding) the design world I decided that perhaps I should speak more about design in addition to posting about my normal everyday wants, likes, adventures and random babbling.
I figured in order to start off with a bang I would interview one of my favorite women in the design world. She is a huge source of inspiration for me. I would love to be her when I go up ( Too bad we are practically the same age so I better speed up) I’m going to be posting the interview tomorrow morning, but I wanted to give you a clue as to who it is. This lady goes banana’s over toss pillows. When I saw the latest product (featured below) that inspired this post I immediately thought of her.
Two of my greatest loves are handbags and fabric. I have quite the addiction to handbags. I would love to have my own room for them. Don’t worry hubby. They don’t break the bank as most of them are thrift store finds. I also have an office full of fabric, but I can’t even sew. Right now they are being utilized as a place to stack all of my ribbon. I’m waiting to have someone pity me and show me how to work my sewing machine.
1154 LILL matches up my two loves and makes me a happy lady. I first set my eyes on 1154 LILL during a trip to Boston to visit my sisters. We were walking down Newbury Street and during our window shopping spree I saw this store front:
When you set foot into 1154 LILL you are meet with your choices of fabric and a variety of handbag styles to choose from. You can pick different fabric for the inside liner, outside, handle etc. I recently received an email from 1154 LILL and saw that they have now ventured out to home decor. You can now go online and order Toss Pillows
You can pick from 4 different styles and make numerous fabric combination. I took a little break at work today and had fun making up different pillows. Here are some of my combinations:
These colors are all featured in my Living Room:
I’m loving the purple trend in fashion and now you can accessorize in it as well:
This brown numbers makes me want to curl up with it by the fire place:
The pillows also come without the ruffle, but who doesn’t love a ruffle.
Enjoy! You will be entertained for hours with all the different combinations.
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
Thanks so much for writing about us on your blog! We love that you are loving our pillows! 🙂
