Master Bedroom Pillows Makeover

When we got married we registered for a great bed set from Bed Bath and Beyond. It's vibrant and happy and lovely in our small bedroom. The only problem is its just a little too matchy matchy.

I think I was on a wedding registry high (pointing that little gun at items is super addictive!) and I didn't think about how mainstream everything would look. 

I have since come to my senses and learned that one should never buy everything from the same store. Shopping around is way better. Even if a collection is beautiful, don't buy the whole thing. It just ends up looking like you set up the store display in your house. Zero personality.

I am in love with our duvet cover. So that we will keep. I also love the vintage green crochet chevron blanket at the end of the bed. Its the throw pillows that could use some work. On the one hand I want to start over with our throw pillows. On the other hand I don't want to spend the money it would require to get cute new pillows. Solution: recover the pillows we already have!

This is the pillow that I am getting color inspiration from. Its a combination of teal, chartreuse, Kelley green, navy, purple, magenta, lighter pink, and goldenrod. This pillow sits on a great blue chair over in the corner of our bedroom and it will really pull everything together once the room  is done.

Truthfully, I would love two magenta velvet pillows, but I am not going to fork out the dough for that. So here are some of my fabric ideas. 

Don't you love the little hand of my helper in the corner?

I would love some input. Do you like these fabrics? Which one is your fave? Which fabrics would you use if it was up to you? Any combination of these or suggestions for different colors or patters or styles. Give me your creative juices!

Leave a comment with your ideas and then enter your email address and follow Domestic 360 for updates as our bedroom gets a little TLC.

Happy Decorating!

P.S. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!

Spoonflower Fabrics

I will admit I have a slight fabric addiction. I can't help but collect wonderful printed cotton, and beautiful wovens, and scrumptious knits. I can always find something to make with whatever fabrics I have and I can't seem to help myself from imagining the projects that will be made out of a specific piece of fabric. Sometimes I have to restrain myself from browsing the aisles of fabric stores so I don't over spend.

One of my new favorite pastimes, is seeing what amazing fabrics are available on the internet. Its incredible! There is a whole new world, full of fun bright colors and styles! Its especially exciting to look for prints and quilting cottons.They have everything you could ever imagine on the internet, fabrics in millions of  prints and styles and colors. Nothing like the everyday stuff you find in a chain fabric store. The verity of fabric right at your fingertips is just great. Buying your fabric online is certainly the way to make your projects unique.

Spoonflower.com is one of the coolest fabric websites out there. This is place to go for the most unique and special fabrics. On Spoonflower you can create your own fabric or get a piece of hand-designed fabric of someone else's design. Its truly amazing what you can find of this website. I could spend hours being sucked into the world of Spoonflower. 

I finally got an excuse to buy some fabric from Spoonflower. A friend of mine from college asked me to make her a strap for her new camera.  She wanted a print that was tribalesque and had too many colors and patterns to clash with anything. I loved this goal, something that was so bold and awesome on its own that it went with everything, and at the same time nothing. 

We shopped around for the perfect fabric and ended up finding it on Spoonflower. I was actually giddy to order this fabric. I have been wanting to order something from this company for a long time, and I finally got my chance! I even ordered a little extra so I could have some for a future project.

I didn't even wait to get up to my apartment to open the package. I opened it right away and am so thrilled to share my experience with you!

Yay!

Isn't it pretty presentation?

How awesome is this print? SO AWESOME!

I highly recommend purchasing some fabric from Spoonflower.com, its so worth the little extra money to have something so unique.
