headrest

one of the first purchases for our new home was a big couch for the living room.

i loved the couch the boy and i had in our old studio, but when we moved across town last april, we decided it was time for an upgrade. 

i'd purchased the old couch for 60 bucks off craigslist. so it had a good run.

(plus the movers couldn't fit it downstairs to use as seating in the basement, but that's another story)

i've been buying pillows here and there over the past couple of months. i like to mix and match bright colors and fun graphic patterns. it really livens up our blue/grey sofa.

i bought that green pillow down there a few weeks back. it's awesome. here are some others that i'm loving at the moment.

if you're feeling adventurous, hop on over to wit&whistle's blog to see a step-by-step tutorial on how she made (yes, MADE!) this sweet pillow.

she was recently featured on design*sponge too. another one of their home tours.

what type of pillows do you have around the house?
