I began to look around my house and everything seemed so blah blah blah for summer. So I found some old pillows covered in dull colors and recovered them in these cooler prints which changed the whole look of the room. They seemed to "happy up" our living space. I feel like summer has arrived and I love looking at them. My girlfriend just painted her living room and she is ready to cover her pillows to give them a happy change! It makes me feel good that someone follows my design change. I know pretty hard to believe!
Oh and not to "dog" anyone
out. The measurements I
received for Hannah's quilt were given to me by the father. He measured the mattress and not the over hang which is what I wanted. Therefore the cool, hip quilt I made ended up only fitting over the top of the bed. A word to the wise do not let your hubby's measure the bed. (Sorry cousin Ricky just had to say it) Back to the drawing board. Whatever...

Deb - Pillows are a perfect addition to your "repetoir" of artistically designed home accent pieces! As far as the custom made quilt not being measured properly, there is an easy fix for that. Same thing happened to my cousin in North Carolina -- her aunt, who is a "master quilter" (made a quilt that Billy Graham gave to the Pope), made a quilt for her niece, and it was not measured properly (evidently there is a difference between a "King Sized Bed" and a "CALIFORNIA King Sized Bed"). She just put a very nice, plain coverlet in a matching color over the bed, which draped down, then put the quilt on top. The result was beautiful. The Quilt itself is a piece of art -- the "function" portion can come from elsewhere...
