Pillows

I have been busy finishing up the pillows in our house. Here are the ones I did for our toy bench. I kind of cheated on these ones. My mom made the button fronts but they were for bigger pillows. So I just cut them down to size and added a new polka dot flange. I like how they turned out.
I also made a new yellow cover for our cushions, but didn't take a picture of it done. It looks like the picture above but with piping around the top and bottom edges. The nice things about the pillows is that they are reversible. So I can flip them around if I ever want a new look.
I also made some new pillows for our couch. The dark ones I already had made. And the striped ones are just sample fabric pieces I got from Joann's. They were on sale for $1 and the perfect size for a pillow.
I also made these reversible. Although I struggled on knowing what to put on the back. I'll probably be changing some of them once spring/summer rolls around.
I even made some really fun Chevron striped pillows. The plaid didn't work as well (good thing it's on the back of a pillow), but I love how my striped one turned out. I might have to make me another one. :)
And those are my new pillows. I am probably going to make another chevron pillow, but for now they are done. I think I have rekindled my love for this color scheme and won't change them again. If I do, it'll probably be in the summer and I'll add some more of that yellow to lighten things up a bit. But I am happy with them for now.

Oh I love it! I am in desperate need for cute pillows like that. I just feel overwhelmed with how much decorating there is to be done! You are seriously my inspiration though. Oh and I don't know if you noticed but I totally used that witches hat pattern that you did once I saw that. I couldn't find a witch hat her size anywhere so that was perfect!

Love the pillows!! i need to do some for our couches...And I want to cover up the flowers on the cusions. Any ideas? I also would love some ideas for a table centerpiece. I've decided I need one since you see the table from the front door, and I'd love a distraction from the messy floor:) Have you tried pintrest.com? It's my new inspiration site!!
