~more new pillows~

I have a pillow addiction.

I can't help it.

My 2 favorite sources for pillows are Spark Modern on Etsy 

{great designer fabrics}

and for pillows made with vintage fabrics I go to 

my friend Dawn who owns Haystack Home in Kirkland Washington.

That is where I just picked up these batik beauties.

~our dining room & break~

Kids are on vacation this week, so I am taking a few days off from blogging to spend time with them.

If you'd like to follow along on instagram, you can do so here.

In the meantime, I am loving the blue pillows I moved from Savannah's room to the living room so much, that I went to TJ Maxx and scored a Broyhill lamp I love for the adjoining dining room.

~DIY scrap wood Christmas tree~

I apologize for not posting this yesterday for thrifty Thursday but my computer was down.

For this scrap tree you will need the following:

Felted wool balls {optional, you can use pom poms}

1x2 wood cut at varying lengths

paint color of your choice

a piece of scrap wood cut into a square for base, approx. 5"x5"

hot glue gun

liquid nails or wood glue

Etsy has a good selection of these wool balls.

Cut 1x2 wood into varying lengths. 

You will also need a base. Mine was a 1x6 I cut into a square.

You will also need a small scrap 1x2 for the tree trunk.

After you cut them, sand any rough edges and paint all the pieces.

Once dry, sand the edges if you like a little aged look.

Then attach your tree trunk to your base. 

I used a combination of liquid nails and an air nailer with small nails.

Then you just start working your way up the tree with your branches, adding them in a random fashion.

The top piece of wood can be standing vertical to create the illusion of a star.

Using hot glue, add the felted wood balls.

{100% my opinion, I was not paid to say this}

Here are some pillows in our home that I have purchased through Spark Modern.

This betwixt lumbar pillow can be found here.

It looks great in the fall and winter months because it is dark and bold.

But as you can see in the picture below, it also works in the summer with bright flowers and lighter pillows mixed in.

I'm literally obsessed with these new Euro pillows I just got for Savannah's room. 

I want to steal them off her bed.

These are 26"x26" and they have a hidden zipper.

Did I mention I love them?

You can find them here.

These betwixt pillows have found many different homes in my house.

They go everywhere, with everything.

Yesterday I showed you where they currently are, in our hallway nook.

You can find all the betwixt here.

I don't currently see this color way.

Bad quality photos below, but these large pillows are another favorite. 

Currently they are on our master bed.

I love how versatile all these pillows are!

This Volpi Navy is currently out of stock, but check back in soon.

This little blue pillow below can be found here.

It's a great soft pillow to throw in the mix.

Want to see more of my favorites from their shop?

I am loving these and hope to add them to my "collection" soon.

~a teen room makeover for Savannah~

In 2010 we gave our daughter a makeover on her room while she was away at camp.

You can see that post here.

But over the last 4 years, her tastes have changed and it was time for a update.

My driving force for the makeover, was that Cottages and Bungalows Magazine was coming out for a photo shoot. So over the course of 2 weeks I transformed her room into something that we both love.

{warning~lots of photos coming,

sources will be listed at the bottom of this post}

Here is the entrance to her room.

The main change here is the paint color on the walls.

I stripped all the paint off her antique closet door and left it as is.

I also painted her bed black and added the top pieces using 1x2's

I am also in love with her new bedding and pillows!

I added new sconces and a new chandelier as well.

The DIY for the zebra rug can be found here.
