Quick Change

I love our living room furniture we purchased back in June, but it needed a little pick me up.  I still had the pillows that came with it, I just hadn't found any toss pillows that I really loved yet.  A couple nights ago, I was staring at my living room wondering WHY I didn't like it.   I liked my furniture, my rug, my cabinets, antiques, everything...except the pillows!  I take that back, I do like them, but they were to matchy matchy on the sofas.  I scanned my room, and borrowed from other areas, and this is what I came up with.  It only took me about five minutes, and now I can use the original pillows on my leather chairs downstairs.  Change doesn't have to take a lot of time, or cost a lot of money. 

The proof is in the pictures...

This is my couch before.  I love the brown and creme tweed pillows, they just were too matchy matchy.  So I scanned the room.  Here's what I came up with... 



I left the brown herringbone pillows that match the couch.  I guess they are really more of a mocha, but anyway.  Then I borrowed this great wool blanket from the chair.  I had a couple of old blue ticking pillows tucked in a basket.  This one found a cozy home right here. 



The other blue ticking pillow got tossed on my loveseat with this cream throw.

I love the simple result and added color of the blue ticking.  If you aren't happy with a certain area of your home, try sprucing it up with simple things you may already have.
