New Kilim Pillows in the Hearth Room

Having an off -white slipcovered sofa, chair and ottoman has really enabled me to be more creative in my Hearth Room decor. I'd been obsessed with white slipcovered furniture for years, but I'd never had the right space to put them in. Now that I am livin' my "white sofa dream", I'm going a little crazy with monthly change-ups. A quilt and pillow stash and a "no-stepladder-needed" mantel have made it much easier to change things up.

I'm not sure how long ago, but I'm thinking it's been about 3 or 4 years, I decided that I was going to hunt down some Kilim pillows. At that time I was planning on using them on our sofa and loveseat set that was in our main level Living Room. I knew I would need at least 4, maybe 5 or 6 to somewhat match pattern wise. I started looking but it took me awhile to find that many that had a similar design.

I wanted colors that were earthy and more "Fallish" that would match my odd gray/khaki sofas. Last year late Summer and Fall were taken over with the move, so I didn't even bother trying to decorate. But a few weeks ago after the red, white, and blue Patriotic decor was packed away, I decided to bring out the majolica for the mantel and thought I'd try to locate the Kilim pillowcovers. I finally found them... and I'm really enjoying trying something a little different decor wise.

(as usual, to get some light in here I have to blast on all the overhead lighting)

I love the colors and texture that really lend themselves to a cozy and comfortable setting.

I have one of my stuffed down ticking bedpillows here on the sofa. I have several of them that my husband's late grandmother hand made for us as a wedding present. (that makes them by definition, "vintage") I think ticking is a neutral that goes with almost anything. That ticking pillow IS extra comfy just in case you need to lie down while reading.

Here are a couple of other posts I've done on Kilim rugs, pillows and patterns.

I'll share the rest of the Hearth Room and the mantel next week.

Do you have fun stuff planned for this weekend?
