Pillow Talk: DIY steps

  1. Chic Geek says:

    Amazing! I love how you used the RRR napkins. I am totally going to copy you when decorating my little sisters college room…Genious!

  2. Kim says:

    Ha, I JUST saw your space on D*S and hopped over here to see if you knew! Congrats! (Out of curiosity – did you submit your room, or did someone nominate you, or did D*S find you directly?)

  3. Scientific Housewife says:

    That sounds complicated for me but they turned out really well!

  4. Sarah - La Jeune Marie says:

  6. Averill says:

    Brilliant! I have some RRR napkins that I've been contemplating turning into pillows for my banquette and now you've inspired me to actually DO it.

  7. Nikki says:

    Great idea! I hadn't thought of napkins. I have a bunch of pillow projects hanging out waiting for me to get my act together. Thanks for the inspiration!

  8. Love Where You Live says:

    FABULOUS!!! Love this post and it comes at a time when I want to try to sew my own. I have great fabric remnants…. I will be back to look again when I take out my machine.

  9. LindsB says:

    look at you little miss sewing lady- I love that Jon told you he would not do anymore and that it was time you learn- what a cutie 🙂

    They look great, I love the fabric you picked!

  10. Jenn says:

    You did an amazing job on those pillows!

  11. Nicole-Lynn says:

    They turned out great! Thanks for the step by step instructions. I'll hold on to this post in my email to refer back to later 🙂 Thanks!

  12. Sarah La Rose says:

    You are such an inspiration!! I'm so excited to try this myself. If only I had a sewing machine. In time I will.

  13. Laura@JourneyChic says:

    I'm so glad you posted this! I just ordered some great fabric to make pillow covers, but have yet to take my sewing machine out of the box. I'm inspired now and will make a serious effort to sew them over the long weekend.

  14. Catbird says:

    I don't consider having a project sitting around since fall procrastination. I have projects that have been sitting for years. The pillows are adorable and I love the idea of using napkins.

  15. Kelly Green says:

    Fantastic job- you have inspired me to get my machine out! you made it look easy peasy…..KG

  16. Katie says:

    Could you just make me some pllllleassse?? So cute! Great job!

  17. Pigtown-Design says:

    They look wonderful and i love the tutorial! i am a sewing fiend these days and the first thing i did when i got my car freed from the snow, was drive over to debois, but they weren't open. 🙁

    ps. congrats on d*s!

  18. Russ, Anna, Pepper and Vesper says:

    That IS easy, thanks for sharing

  19. Chic Coles says:

    These look amazing! I wish I had a sewing machine. I would make a ton of pillows in a lot of great fabrics.

  20. Christen says:

    It's good to know I'm not the only one who breaks down when I sew 🙂 These are amazing! You did such a great job!

  21. Loribeth says:

    You did a great job! The pillows look fantastic.

  22. Dayka (Life +Style) says:

    Love those pillows, and congrats on the feature!

  23. Tammy@InStitches says:

    Great job ! I just made some out of some fancy hand towels that were on clearance at Home Goods for $1.00.

  24. Marija says:

    These are great! Talk about going above and beyond for a client. I found you through another blogroll and I'm so glad I did – I will certainly be back. BTW, I asked for a sewing machine for Christmas one year, my mom bought it and she has been the only one to ever use it!

  25. Lovely Little Nest says:

    Incredible job! LOVE the "fabric" you used ~ such vibrant colors! They really look great 🙂

  26. Erin @ Domestic Adventure says:

    I love these and you did a great tutorial! The one thing that I learned when I made some pillow covers like this is to leave an extra inch or two of overlap in the back in case your pillow is extra fluffy. My first pillow cover had a gaping back when I stuffed it because the overlap wasn't quite big enough for the fluff!

  27. Julie says:

    How clever. I love all fabrics you selected.

  28. Brittany Simmons says:

    Just stumbled across your blog (mine is loveofinteriors) great tutorial- and I'm with you on the sewing dilemna! I have been on the hunt for pillow fabric that I can see and quickly buy (as opposed to order) and cheap too. So using napkins instead is a great idea. Oh- and your guest room is very fun!

  29. Blueprint Bliss says:

    I'm a big fan of making pillows out of napkins. So easy. Yours look fabulous!

  30. Erika @ BluLabel Bungalow says:

    Congrats on the D*S feature! Everything looks amazing…and this pillow idea, brilliant. I still can't get over the fact that your husband can sew…so jealous!

  31. Mitzi Curi says:

    Very nice job with those pillows! I have a pile of cool fabric just waiting to be used……maybe I'll get to it this winter!

ON THE BLOG

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.

Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]

round up of budget friendly bar carts

Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]

For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
