Pillow to Your Soul

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Colors, textures, luxurious fabric and trim.  Who doesn’t love a great pillow?  A few beautiful pillows will change the feel of a room instantly and give you a jumping off point to accessorize your room.  Beautiful Pillows and Home is a treasure trove of pillows!  You can search by collection or by color.  They even have special sections for Kids Collections and Guy Things(because they don’t want those girly pillows!).  The great thing is that they have developed collections that each have 6 pillows that coordinate with each other. They give you a great “designer” look without that horrible “matchy matchy” vibe you want to avoid.  Feeling brave?  Venture outside of the “collection” and do your own thing.  Their pillows are made to order in the United States and are filled with a 50/50 mix of feather and down.  Enjoy searching their extensive selection. 

All from Beautiful Pillows and Home Collections Clockwise from Top Left: Sun Valley($180), Classic Animal Collection($170), Passage to India ($225), A Comfortable House ($148), Center: Palm Springs ($230)

Modern Beauty and Tranquility on the Craggy Maine Coast

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Angela Adams says that her designs reflect the beauty of the Maine coast and she does a phenomenal job of backing up that claim. On first impulse I would not expect Maine to be a haven for modern design but her creativity as an artist who has a keen eye for interiors is evident.  The shapes and colors in her amazing rug designs reflect the beauty of nature with tranquil undertones.  She has a large selection in wool and additional designs in cotton as well as bedding and pillows.

I also appreciate that they are an affiliate of RugMark.  RugMark is working to end illegal child labor in the carpet industry and to offer educational opportunities to children in South Asia.  Good for your home and good for our world!

It’s fun to change it up a bit. Your wardrobe changes from season to season so why not your home? One of the easiest ways to do this is to add some new pillows and accessories.
