New Decor — So Overwhelming!

 Feeling pretty good these days and we are in my absolute favorite season so I want to make the most of it and not waste a second of it so I decided to do some online looking for pillow covers and cozy things.

WELL…..I have never been so overwhelmed!  My colors are the same sorts of colors I had when we first got married.  Why you say?  Well, because I still have a lot of the stuff I had when we first got married — 52 years which put us in the early 70’s and we all know what colors were popular then — greens, golds, and orange/rusts.  But, since autumn is my fav season it still works for me.  So, I visited several places online to see what sort of pillow covers I could find and I did find them — lots of them — lots and lots of them — all this for the person who really does best with only two choices — the right one and the wrong one!

So, I am watching a youtube video called “Fine Living” — a vlog based in New England and the say has lots of vintage furniture and decor and it is a really good resource if you, like me, still have a house full of Early American furniture.

Tomorrow I am making a Target run and I am going to look at some new throw pillows — my husband hates them but nothing cozies up a room more than pillows so we will see what I come home with, if anything.  And I have to go upstairs and get my favorite throw.  It was a gift from my cousin and it is so cozy and useful — you can cover up in the recliner, use it like a shawl or drape it over the sofa — it is a lovely caramel color so I need to see what pillows will go best — even though my brain is thinking rust, my heart goes to sage/olive green.  

It will be a surprise!

Hi Granny! Oh I found something — Target is a dangerous place for sure!

The only thing I am concerned with is the pillow covers I chose are faux rabbit fur and they shed like a real rabbit!!! I guess rabbits shed, not sure, but these pillows certainly do!

My husband had a real disdain for throw pillows so I have to keep it to a minimum …. He literally just throws them on the floor so here everything is uneven — i don’t put any in his chair, on his bed….it is a bit wonky.. but I have to do a few things for fun!
