Pillow Perfection

When the boyfriend and I decided to move in together, I couldn’t decide if I was more excited to get out of my current living situation or actually move in with him. Turns out, I was more excited to decorate our loft than anything.

When the time came to actually purchase items, I could not make a decision. All of a sudden I hated everything on my pin boards.

Pillows were first on my list because the pillows that came with the couch were particularly heinous and I was going to poke my eyes out with a pencil if I had to look at them for much longer. However, I did love the size of said ugly pillows so I began searching for pillow covers. My criteria included: bright color(s), patterned, and machine washable.

I searched every decorating website and blog that I knew of, and all of the patterns I liked either did not come as pillow covers, or they exceeded my budget. Finally, I found this Etsy site and fell in love with the Arvin Nautical print. The owner of the shop was great to work with and she delivered a quality product that I’m obsessed with. The bright blue adds a pop of color to our otherwise monotone loft, and the pattern provides an elegant yet comfortable feel to our family room.

Next up: decorate our walls! Any idea what to do with 15 ft tall ceilings?
