New Spring Pillows in the Family Room

People often ask why I like to decorate with white, and the answer is simple. Besides the fact that I love the color white and feel it always looks fresh and clean … you can easily change up the look and feel of a white room from season to season by adding beautiful color and pattern with pillows and textiles. I recently added a touch of color in the family room. I was actually shopping for something specific for the kitchen and wandered into the home decor section, and yada yada yada … I now have new spring pillows in the family room!

Spring Pillows in the Family RoomBefore you start thinking I have no self control when shopping, let me first say how much I struggle with finding pillows I like. I either can’t find the right color or the right pattern.

But I kept thinking about how cute those pillows would look in my family room.

Like I said, I have some sort of decorating block when it comes to pillows. Part of why I struggle is because I’m not willing to spend $50 or more for a single pillow. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with it … I just can’t bring myself to do it. It’s probably all those years of frugality when I was a single mom that give me pause.

It was worth taking a trip back to the store to get them!

  1. Jennifer, I love the pillows, too! The birds one especially makes my heart happy. May I ask about your couch slipcover? It looks like what I envision for mine…

  2. Love the pillow choices! Even if I could, I will not spend +++++$ on a pillow. I know some folks can and do, but not me. I love to spread it around! lol

  3. Hi Jennifer,
    Lovely pillows. As my grandmother would have said your bird pillow is a jaunty little pattern. It is partly sunny and 16 degrees C. I think spring is finally hear. All of our snow is gone.
    Have a wonderful day.

  4. I’ve had moments at Home Goods. When you see what you’re looking for you have to grab it. You’re lucky they were still there. I’ve done that and when I got back they were gone. I said, it wasn’t meant to be. They played over and over in my mind for weeks

  5. the pillows are so beautiful! I also can’t stop staring at your window shades — did you make those, or would you happen to have the information about where you got them? I’ve been trying to find something similar, but I’m not having any luck. Thank you!
