She found the crewel pillows (with double rows of trim)
on sale and had the mini leopard print cut velvet pillow made.
for any given room, you ARE a Pillow Addict (also known as a “Pilloholic”).
I love the rustic linen for the mountains (or at the beach..or anywhere casual).
Speaking of our Mammoth mountain condo (decorated on a budget),
I bought these cheerful guest room pillows and duvet at IKEA. One side is embroidered with flowers
and the other in coordinating stripes with cute buttons ($19.99 including feather insert).
And back to Debbie’s fab pillows…
Notice the fine coordinating trim and flat welt piping at the end of the bolster?
Nice details.
In the meantime, stay tuned on Saturdays for the new “Pillow Addict” series.
You may be surprised (well, probably not) who is coming out of the closet next!
Best Wishes,
Mary Ann

Those cushions are stunning, It is amazing how the fabrics and styles can lift your spirits. I like the way that we can change all our cushions and get a totally new look.

When I first started blogging I did a post just like this!! I admitted to my pillow addiction. It is a very hard addiction to break. I have never met a pillow I did not like for me or someone else. It is horrible. even if I don't need a pillow I still look at them just in case. I am almost as bad with lamps and mirrors. there in lies the problem in my garage!! No room for the car!! Yikes, Kathysue

Some women collect shoes, or bags, or dishes…I collect PILLOWS! I have never been diagnosed until today- but thank you! I am officially a "pilloaholic". If you don't believe me, visit my website and you will see what I mean. I am at http://www.starfishcottage.typepad.com- click on "The Cottage" button. I change out all my pillows seasonally, I just changed them again and will be posting photos soon. I love how a simple change of pillows can instantly update a room. Thanks for sharing…love your blog. Kristy Seibert Starfish Cottage

I have lots of pillows, but they never seem to stay where I put them. I have to rearrange them frequently. Yours are very pretty.

Deborah Kay at The Paint Splash says
Very nice pillows. I have several also. Blessings, Debbie

Tessa says
hi, my name is tessa, and i'm a pillowholic.
lately i just buy a yard or two of fabric thinking i will sew it into new pillow covers. sometimes i do, but really the bulk just ends up in my never ending stash of fabric. i think that might be a whole different addiction! xo
Pamela says
Gorgeous pillows!
I didn't think i was till my husband pointed out the linen closet! I guess i am lol !

Lydia says
I confess. Even my dog's bed in my garden shed has pillows):- But since they aren't changed out for the season- does that excuse me from needing a 12 Step Pillow De-program?
Carla@DesignintheWoods says
Gorgeous pillows! I love them and I'm addicted too!
Ideezine says
Mary Ann,
Love all the pillows and after a while we know what our personal requirements are for pillows. There's more than meets the eye or comfort level.
Love remaking them, using them, designing them for clients and friends and family. They make rooms
noticeable, they're great gifts and can be made from a variety of fabrics, fills, with/out zippers, envelope closures, and completely sealed up. They're very satisfying to shop for when you find the right ones.

Mona Thompson Providence Ltd. says
I love pillows too. However, something may be wrong with me but I find it harder than most to get just the right combination on a sofa or bed. Maybe I just over think it. Looking forward to your pillow series. Maybe it will lighten me up.
Lisa says
I love that silk kimono pillow! They do add so much interest to a room – and can totally change the feel of it too. Fun series….looking forward to it!
Kelle Dame says
Nice! Love the colors of the spring set! They warm up the whole room 🙂

Hi, Gosh, this post is right up my alley. Although I don't have a huge number of pillows,I'm definitely a pillow addict.LOve the ones for your ski condo. I enjoy your blog and thought I was following you. Well I wasn't, but now I am.

Karen says
O my gosh, I guess I am a pillow addict! And after reading this I realized something else…I am also a "mantel addict" I guess because I have different decor for my mantels based on the season (not including holiday decor). 🙂 O well! Thanks Mary Ann.
xo~

annie says
Yes, I love pillows and it's such a great way to change your look for the season or current trend without totally redoing everything. I only wish I had learned to sew…I would be making pillows right now!
Love the IKEA bedding and would have never known…I adore the the idea of hanging a ski trail map in a ski condo. And that picture of your son, I'm guessing… is so cute!
CalypsoInTheCountry says
Wow, what gorgeous pillows! I have a bit of an obsession too – I end up hiding the ones I am not using from my husband…
Have a great weekend.

Who can resist beautiful pillows? They are decorative and they changes the feel and mood of a room easily without forking out the big bucks! With that said, yes, I am a pillow addict, too! 🙂

Isn't it amazing how pillows can change the whole mood of a room. And I need to get to IKEA! I just went to PB and found gorgeous red pillows with birds on them. They were only 18.99 each. They pop off my couch and give the neutral room just what it needed.
Kim @ Savvy Southern Style says
Oh how I love these pillows. Pure yumminess. Looking forward to this series.
laxsupermom says
I love changing out the pillows in a room depending on the season. It's the easiest way to freshen up a room. I tend to use one set of inserts and just have multiple covers, though. I wouldn't have the storage space if I had actual separate sets of pillows. Love all the cushions shown. The detailing on them is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Desiree {CHIC COASTAL LIVING} says
I am defintely a pillow holic! Always have been! I actually buy the pillows before I get the furniture! Crazy I know! I'm actually in the process of getting all new "sets" of pillows!
Ann says
I'm loving my pillows…
Can't sleep without lots of them around me,
And I sure love them on my couch.
Debby says
I am laughing at your term pilloholic! Yes, I love how pillows can change an entire room. I am searching for new ones for fall. xo
LeAnn says
Did somebody say pillows???? Just ask my husband, I LOVE PILLOWS. I say they can make or break a room. I'm on the hunt right now for some new ones for my living room. Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to reading your adventures in decorating.
Natasha in Oz says
I'm a cushion fan too…I have way too many but I can't stop buying them! Glad to see I'm not the only one!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
SHERRY HART says
Hmmmm…some gorgeous pillows here. Love the ones for your ski condo and the ones from Ikea! That just says pillows really aren't about $$$…..!
Wendi @ Classic Chic Home says
It's definitely an addiction! I even have two sets of decorative cushions for my deck furniture. I decided to count how many I have in my rooms and in storage – 68, and that's after I just donated a large box!
Both you and Debbie have some beautiful pillows-thanks for sharing!
The enchanted home says
Yep, its confirmed I too am a bonafide pillow addict. And I don't want to do anything about it:) Love pillows…sofas and beds would be so boring without them and as you have shown above, they can totally change the look of a sofa! I love your friends pillows (and room for that matter) and love yours also….those from Carlson Crew are gorgeous!
Thanks for the "diagnosis", and glad to know I have company!
Tiff says
Those cushions are stunning! It is amazing how the fabrics and styles can lift your spirits! I love the way that we can change all our cushions and get a totally new look! Brilliant! So…. yes…. I am also addicted to cushions! X
Christine says
Major-ly GUILTY! … with rolls of fabric purchased to make a zillion more… boxes of inserts in a closet…pathetic!
Blondie's Journal says
All the pillows are just lovely!!!! I love them, too. Now…what do you suggest we do with them when guests sit down? The pillows on the bed, I stack them neatly, but still… what do we do with all these pretties?! 🙂
XO,
Jane
Shelia says
Those are some gorgeous pillows! I love pillows too and make most of mine. I've started making pillow 'slips' for my forms so I can change them out easier!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
