Hey, how does that title grab you? My sister’s creative business partner thought of it…and a few others at the end of the post. The important thing that I wanted to talk about is how much I love the new Belgian linen pillow line from Pottery Barn. They are of great quality. Not cheap but definitely have a designer feel.
A Little PILLOW Talk
Incorporating new pillows into your room can give you a quick refresh! Here I brought in some blue pillows with the black ones that were already here.
You can see that the blue carries the theme of the San Francisco Bay outside.
Throw Pillows To Refresh
The Pottery Barn Belgian Linen pillow comes in 24″ square (good for larger sectionals or sofas or on beds) and 20″ square which is what I have here in the Midnight shade. I have two friends, one in California and one in Florida that I recommended the larger size for their new sectionals and they love them. There are lots of colors and a cute leather pull detail on the zipper.
These are great for when you need solid pillows with a bit of texture.
I also bought this soft denim embroidered pillow from Pottery Barn (on special).
Speaking of Pottery Barn, this lamp below is heavy and feels like good quality. I like the larger scale here…but since it is glass, it’s not too bulky. Pottery Barn is really putting good things out there!

Thanks for the Pillow Talk! I’m in San Diego trying to help out my sister with my recuperating mother, Louise. She is the sweetest thing…and makes it so worthwhile. My brother, Jim is coming, too to help out, so that will be nice to see him. Mom generates so much love. Call your mama if you can!

I love these pillows! Are the darker pillows navy or black? I’m thinking they are black but wondering if navy would be enough of a contrast with the pottery barn midnight pillows. I don’t think black would look good in my family room. What are your thoughts about navy?
Mary Ann Pickett says
The darker ones are black but you could definitely use an indigo shade.

I hope your mom has a quick recovery! I wish I still had my mom to call. I love your living room. It is casual yet the details make a huge impact. I bought that denim pillow and another PB pillow that has blues and rust in it.
Now if I can just keep my dogs from using them! They like them too!
Mary Ann Pickett says
Thanks, Marcia! New pillows can make all the difference.

Wow, the pillows really add so much. Great selection and they do really pick up the bay in the background.
I always learn something from your design posts.
xo,
Karen
Mary Ann Pickett says
You are so kind, Karen.

I totally agree that pillows/textiles can change a whole room. Last fall I shopped TJ Maxx and replaced all my red pillows with either blue and white or neutral beige-ish ones. Also switched the throw on the sofa and towel in the adjoining kitchen from red to blue. All my upholstered furniture is off white so it goes with everything. I didn’t have to change any artwork; the new colors just made the blues in the art stand out more and work with the new color scheme. So for under $200 I had a new, updated look. Love your posts! Hope your Mom has a good recovery and enjoys having all of you around her.
Mary Ann Pickett says
Wow…fantastic. I would love to see photos!
Judee Biggles says
Do you have a source for the pattern on pattern blue pillow? I need something like that in a rusty red.
Thanks,
Judee
Mary Ann Pickett says
Yes. The link is there but I think it only comes in blue.
Marcia says
I think there were several that had rusty red in them. PB has great pillows.
Cindy says
I am torn between your favorite, CHANGE THE LOOK OF THE ROOM WITHOUT CHANGING THE ROOM and ONE EASY FIX THAT CAN CHANGE THE WHOLE LOOK OF A ROOM. Both would get my attention, but I read your posts religiously anyway….
Mary Ann Pickett says
Thanks so much, Cindy!!!
