There are as many pillows of illusion...

" There are as many pillows of illusion as flakes in a snow storm. We wake from one dream into another dream." 
Ralph Waldo Emerson

All these gray days keeping us inside and making us want to crawl back in bed have me yearning for some pillow talk...
No fail, every time the seasons change I get the itch to redecorate. The landscape outside my windows change so why shouldn't my interior shift a little to work with it? What better way than to toss in some updated throw pillows.  Some may call it excessive, but I really do believe throw pillows are a seasonal item and should be mixed up regularly to keep a room fresh.

Some things to consider when creating your pillow-scape:
-Don't be afraid to mix patterns, colors or textures, just keep them "related"- it adds depth and interest to your room.
-Use odd numbers- odds are always more pleasing to the eye when it comes to design.
-Don't be afraid to try a different shape or size. Over-sized pillows give a more casual vibe while rectangles tend to feel sleeker and more modern.

Go Bold
Birds of a Feather...
Add some Whimsy
TEXTURE,TEXTURE and more TEXTURE
Don't ignore your animal instincts
