Hey – remember that one time Deets Homestore and Rardon Design joined forces and gave away a living room makeover?!
I have some pillow progress to share with you! The project has taken a little longer than expected, but it is coming together beautifully. Just trust me on this one! We have had to be super savvy with budget – so we’re trying to DIY as much as possible. The show-stopper, focal pieces from Deets are in place. Painted coffee table has been checked off the list. Pillows are now checked off the list. [Next: DIY striped curtain panels.]
Stormy had these pillows – but they didn’t match the new color scheme we are working with [which is black & brown neutrals with pops of orange, red, and yellow]. By the way – these pictures were taken in the Rardon house living room before delivering them to their new home [Stormy has a deep brown sofa with white walls].
Can you tell this dude has seen better days?
And here’s what they look like now!!!
She had two of the larger pillows – so to be as savvy as possible, we reused the padding inside the pillows, and gave them new covers. The fabric we used is here. The smaller pillows are 12×12 inserts from Hobby Lobby, with covers from Hobby Lobby fabric.
DIY tip: I purchase 9′ x 12′ canvas drop cloths from Menards and use it to back everything from pillows to table runners. For this project, it worked perfectly! I like to machine wash the drop cloths before using them – and dry them with a few dryer sheets to give it a nice scent. The canvas drop cloth is a neutral backing, and saves on the cost of fabric.
I just love your website. It looks fantastic. Love those new pillows and using drop cloth for backing is so smart!
Thank you so much Katja! That means so much coming from you! I have enjoyed following along on your blog.
