Pillow Talk...

The Hubs and I have a total of 6 pillows on our bed... he needs more. Since I already have 2 down pillow inserts I figure I should just make them myself! They measure in pretty big - 27 x 27 so hopefully this will accommodate Mr. I Need 45 Pillows on my bed... 

I got inspired by the beautiful HUGE pillows we have at the Shop - they measure in at 30 x 30! BUT I could not stomach Hubs leaning on these gorgeous silks!

Silk & Velvet pillows from Shaun Smith Home 


Another shot of some of the pillows we carry...

Here's what I'd like the bed to eventually have a resemblance to...

So I chose a cotton blend with a subtle pattern in a creamy white to keep with the neutral look. It's so so SOFT! It should be coming in next week and I'm excited because I'll be sewing in zippers (you know I'll have to wash white pillows!) and I have not done zippers in a while so it'll be a good refresher!

Just a reminder - here's what the bedroom looked like a couple months ago... (sorry for dark photos!)

And here it is after some minor updates...

I think adding the extra pillows will at least make the bed look "finished" - the rest is still a work in progress!

I am debating on cording for the new pillows?? I feel like the pattern is enough... any thoughts? To cord or not to cord... tis the question!

- BOO
