Not sure why but new throw pillows give me a lot of joy.
Since we got our new sectional almost a month ago, it quickly became clear that
we needed some new throw pillows. Of course, I have seen some gorgeous pillows
at HomeGoods and Marshalls over the past few months but when I go to buy them,
they are all gone.
I think they were $24.99. They also had some pretty coral and linen
pillows that I left behind. DRAT. Went back to find them again and they were
GONE. So I settled on the basic gold
linen which pulls in the gold background in the sofa fabric and of course gold
and yellow run throughout nearly every room in my house.
The great thing about pillows is their mobility between
rooms, purposes, and floors. Pillows that once lived in our guest room now live
in our basement playroom, and another set of guest room pillows did some stand
in work while I hunted for new pillows and strategized about the chairs.
Not sure if the stripes are going to stay because they go better with the old sofa.
And about the chair situation. I am undecided and it could
continue this way for a while. It’s also not a priority because we still have
one of our two green arm chairs living in the family room. It’s perfectly fine
there but I am watching for budget alternatives at every turn. Believe me. So, if you see me at HomeGoods body-checking
old women out of the way to get to a steal-of-the-century chair, please excuse
my indiscretions.
The verdict on the sectional is LOVE. It’s a really small
sectional (only 88” x 89”) but it lives much larger. We haven’t had a crowd of
people over but I’m curious to see how that all works out. Elizabeth’s birthday
party in April should be a great test.
In other news I finally sold my playroom sofa so now I an reorganize things down there. Fun!!
