Perfect Pillows

Pillows are such a wonderful way to update and bring interest into your rooms!!  I love pillows!  I am finally setting up my porch and this is what got me started - I need pillows to perk it up!  Do you have a sofa that looks a bit tired? Do you feel your room is a bit dated? Pillows are perfect!

When you are using pillows make sure you use at least 3 - odd numbers are better so 3,5,7, etc.  You can layer your pillows as well.  I look for different shapes as well as different patterns.  You might not like a lot of different patterns in your room but pillows allow you to do all sorts of combinations! Flowers, stripes, solids, geometric - use them all.  I like using small and large patterns and some textures for interest.  Just remember - COLOR!!!  Make sure they compliment each other and your room!!

Right now you can check out Pottery Barn - 20% off on pillows and free shipping!  I also saw a great article in the Wall Street Journal that you might enjoy:(http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324866904578515413552035292.html?KEYWORDS=pillow+prime....  So go ahead - try some pillows, have fun!, and let me know how it looks! j
