So. I got a box of fabric in this week (and if you know me, this is really nothing new, but keep reading) and it has the fabrics for my throw pillows. And my bed skirt. I am THRILLED. Seeing all the fabrics together, along with the duvet that is now on my bed and the curtains has me chomping at the bit to get the room DONE. Take a look at some of these divine pillows I grabbed from my Pinterest board:
Isn't it lovely?! This one I plan to duplicate exactly. I just need to stop at Joann's to get some felt (what those circles look like they are made from to me). Hmm, or Hobby Lobby, which is right next door to my work...isn't that a scary thought! And now that I look at it, maybe it's actually linen circles...but those would unravel easily...have to give this one a little more thought. But, I have the gray fabric and this pillow cover itself will be simple to duplicate (and it won't cost $45!!!!) I'm making them all removable for ease of laundering.
And let's not forget about this darling pillow I found on Etsy:
I was originally going to buy it because I love to support Etsy and independent vendors, but I really think the purple is the wrong shade for my room :( It has more gray undertones than what I'm looking for. All my purples have more of a blue undertone in my room. I think I can duplicate this pillow. I have a luscious, purple satin fabric I got in my shipment from fabric.com that I can use, it will just take some figuring out that pretty twist in the center that might be a bit challenging.

I would love to say I will be completing these updates this weekend. I would really love to say that. But I won't. I'm going to the ASG Conference here in Houston this weekend (hooray!!!) and I have to get the rest of the shopping done for my kids for back to school. We have a free sales tax weekend here in TX this weekend, and I will happily take the savings on the backpacks and additional items the kids still need for school :) My goal though is to be completely done by the end of Labor Day Weekend....D.O.N.E.
I agree the circles are probably linen, but would not wear well. Maybe a satin fabric so they lay more fly-away like the linen, as where the felt might be too stiff; just a thought. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the purple pillow and it is my duvet color... when you figure out the center knot let me know.
