There is a lot of pillow madness going on over at Cottage and Vine…
and have been enjoying René’s obsession for a while now. See what I mean…
Hello to all of Mary Ann’s readers! I was thrilled to be invited to participate in this fun series.
I love Mary Ann’s style and she is always super sweet! Her blog has been a
constant source of inspiration for me.
Pillows. Where to begin? Well, I could honestly say that I would rather have a new pillow
than a new pair of shoes. Pillows are to a house what shoes are to an outfit.
You can’t have too many. My husband might disagree though 😉
I am forever switching pillows around at our house. Other than painting,
pillows are the easiest way to update a room.
These are the pillows that used to be in our bedroom.
And here are the new ones. I’m really loving this fresh blue at the moment.
Sometimes I like to mix several patterns and colors together.
And sometimes I go for the paired down and simple look. Slowly I am replacing all of my pillow covers with down filled pillow inserts. A feather insert + fluff + karate chop = pillow perfection.
Here are a few of my favorite pillows on etsy…
So many pillows, so little time. That’s all the pillow talk for me, get it?
Pillow talk, ha! Thanks again Mary Ann!
I love that, René…”A feather insert + fluff + karate chop = pillow perfection”
and thanks for resources!
Please see what else is going on over at

Hello. My name is Kristine and I too am a pillow addict. lol LOVE to karate chop an accent pillow. It is just plain fun. My husband hasn't cut me off yet on pillow shopping. I think secretly he too is an addict. You should see our bed. It is loaded and I am thinking of adding more! lol
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and commenting on my pillows..it totally confirmed my addiction and is encouraging me to add a few more pillows to our family.
Have a great day!! I love your blog…just love it.

I'm a pillow addict too. Your choices are so pretty with your white sofa and bed linens. I'd like to find some new pillows in Fall colors and at a reasonable price. I'm looking. 🙂

Seriously, pillows or shoes? I think I'd try to find a really fabulous bargain and justify both!! 🙂

I love it, "I'd rather have a new pillow than a pair of shoes!" I so agree on this. A girl can never have too many pillows.

Rene…Rene…Rene….I always knew about your little secret and now it is out there….true confessions. As with Mary Ann and the other pillow addicts featured…..you need not suffer alone. We welcome you with open arms 🙂 Love the new Etsy sites for even more pillows to obsess over.

Love the fresh blue pillows in your room..so pretty, and love the idea of mixing up patterns, no rules..just trial and error! Beautiful examples of when having a pillow addiction is actually a good thing:)
