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
Love the idea of a series on pillows..Rene has shared some great pillows and I love the formula!
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 love Rene's style. She has some gorgeous pillow and I love the new blue ones!
Love the zebra pillows. Very pretty. But I love most animal prints. Wished they went better with my color scheme.
Renee has beautiful taste. Thanks for sharing!
Loving your new pillows and that stylish living room of yours! I'm a total pillow addict too – my husband rolls his eyes dramatically when he sees me headed to the pillow aisle at tj maxx. 🙂
PS – thanks for stopping by my blog recently! I'm so glad to have found yours!
Its fun mix patterns though I am too chicken to do it. She did a great job, its very fresh looking.
Although I think I might have to go with the shoes over the pillow, love the way Renee mixes it up!!
What a stunning selection! I definately have pillow envy! X
Good stuff! I wonder who invented the karate chop for pillows?
Hi Mary Ann, Rene's home is beautiful and I love her pillow collection.

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'm with you…I'd take a new pillow any day over new shoes! Love the pillows on your bed.
Rene always seems to introduce us to the nicest blogs! I'm glad to have discovered yours Mary Ann!!
Mary Ann Thanks so much for having Rene!! From one pillow addict to another!
I will be having a Giveaway of a pair of pillows starting next Friday!! Mark your calendar!

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:)
