I thought it was about time to show you some summer touches in our home, seeing as we are halfway through summer now! Where does the time go?! I'm super excited to show you some our new pillows for our sofa for a few reasons!
First, pillows are one of the easiest ways to update your space on a budget. They also do WONDERS for adding texture, color, and pattern to your space. I can never understand why people don't have pillows on their couch ;) My husband is one who throws all the pillows off the couch, except for the one he's using, when he plops down...and that's fine with me, but during the day while I'm working, you can bet the sofa looks just like this. Karate chopped pillows are my jam. They just make this little apartment of ours look more put together than it actually is! Mess on one side, perfectly chopped pillows on the other...that sounds about right ;)
The other thing pillows do is make a living space feel inviting and homey. And I'm all about creating a warm and inviting environment for us + our guests. I loved the pillows we had before, and will be keeping them to change out every now and again, but these watercolor floral pillows have me swooning big time. They have just the right softness, while still providing a pattern that mixes well with our lattice print curtains and work well with the seaglass colored accent pillows.
Lincoln insisted he get in on the photo action ;)
The final reason I'm over the moon with these gorgeous pillows is because this watercolor pattern was designed by my sweet friend Jenny of Graceline, who designed our wedding floral pattern, envelope liners, and did all of our calligraphy!! How special is this, that now her work is also on our sofa?! Jenny did this GORGEOUS collection of floral pillows for Caitlin Wilson Textiles, my favorite textile designer, and the result is stunning. Gold zippers, linen fabric, perfect attention to detail. I would expect nothing less of these ladies!

I love how recognizable Jenny's beautiful art and illustration is! I can tell something is her work from a mile a way.
DETAILS | similar coffee table / sofa with a chaise-- thank God it's slipcovered because we may need to order a new slipcover after Lincoln's puppy stage / wood sign -- custom piece, they take custom orders! / curtains -- on sale now! / similar garden stool -- under $30 / gold moroccan pouf / rug
I can't even handle this last picture. The hairs in front of his eyes kill me!! Look at that blurry tail wagging!
Okay, want to know the REALLY exciting part about this post?! Not only does my couch look really pretty with these pillows, but one of yours will look equally as beautiful with the Graceline Collection for Caitlin Wilson Textiles soon! That's right, the next giveaway are these gorg pillows!
One lucky winner will get to choose 3 pillows (either in blush, gray or navy) for their own home. You can enter the giveaway on my Instagram. It will start around 12pm EST.
Do you like the pillow combo in our living as much as I do? Hopefully this sparked some inspiration for minor updates in your home that bring you joy!
Happy Tuesday,
Michaela
I am not sure which I am loving more,those pillows or that puppy! 😍😍 I love cushions and have recently (mostly) perfected the art of making my own covers...I have become slightly obsessed and am recovering every.single.pillow in my home...When I run out of pillows to cover, I think I will start sewing some for my Etsy shop!
ReplyDeleteYour little fur baby is ridiculously cute! He looks a lot like my little malti-poo Lucy. She has that same furry little face that just kills me!
These pillows just make your room so gorgeous! I'm pretty much a pillow hoarder! Your style is so lovely. I remember watching you on social media chopping at your pillows...so now I do it! Lol :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. Can't wait to hear the results!!
