Buffalo Check Pillows in the Garden Room

Hi Friends, Hope you're having a good week!

I love to change up the wicker settee here in the Garden Room because seasonal color with vintage quilts and pillows can instantly change the feel of any space. After Christmas I put out a new quilt I bought last year on sale from Pottery Barn because I was looking for a lighter, brighter vibe. I didn't realize back in January when I put this out that this quilt would carry me thru winter and spring.

I just love the muted pastel floral patchwork, but back in March when the weather started changing I realized the quilt and pillows needed something fun and a bit of a contrast textile-wise. There's a lot of pattern going on within the quilt itself, so more floral pattern wasn't really what I was going for. BTW, I had to do kitty removal from the settee. She's out here every day, (all day) and I had to explain to her that I needed pics and she needed to go sit in the chair instead. Here she is snoozing in an Easter pic.

I thought about a tan ticking stripe, but when I found these large

  Buffalo Check pillow covers

I thought they might be more of what this quilt needed.

I have a pillow obsession which I've been trying to corral

 by using pillow covers instead of actual pillows. 

I have a whole dedicated wall in my storage room 

that I use to stash and stack all the pillow crazy.

Love that Big Check!

I'm hoping that I can use these with

 a lot of different quilts and patterns.

After Easter I wanted to give the Garden Room a bit of a freshen up.

I've put most of the bunnies and Easter goodies away, 

so now I'm feeling more "vintage garden" which is my favorite

Garden Room style. 

Here is another set of pillows from the same 

Amazon store in a light spring green.

I got started on the black/white Buffalo Check pillows back 

last Christmas when I needed something new for the front porch.

I have an orange-y/bittersweet front door

that the typical Christmas colors of red and green

just don't work with.

These pillows worked perfectly.

This old English Country Cottage iron doorstop is here 

with the basket of faux paperwhites, 

vintage garden tools and some old clay pots.

... Restoration Hardware galvanized watering can and a chalk lamb.

The Bloomin' Brella is back this spring

here on the Holiday Cupboard.

We had some weird weather on Tuesday, when it snowed 3 inches. 

And I don't even mean "snowed", it came down in huge flakes.

Then on Wednesday morning it was down to 27 degrees.

So the ferns and a few other potted plants came inside for a few days

till the threat of freezing weather is over.

Hope you're having a good week and survived

 whatever freezy temps you may have had thrown at you.

I think everything survived, here.

 My azaleas were just starting to bloom,

so I'm hoping they're okay.
