New Pillows


Finally.

Used some fabric that I've had for a while to make some new covers for the pillows on the couch (pillow covers with zippers!). I'm really liking the more neutral colors, and the hint of green in the stripe ties into the big green leather chair (that's not pictured). I also swapped out the sage-y green throw that's usually on the couch for this orange one that I've had (from Ikea) because I thought it all needed a little jolt of color.

I think the little guys approve.

I love the orange and am very impressed that you took the time to put zippers into your pillow covers. You have a ton of patience!

I love them.

They're cute. No wonder the four-legged ones approve!

And yes, the pitcher is great! I think I'll have to do a side-by-side test with the same drink in a regular pitcher and the cool pitcher, as an experiment to figure out if it's better.

The only downside is that it doesn't hold a large volume of fluid - only about 6-7 cups of liquid. Wade and I had pink lemonade on Monday, which was our holiday up here, and a VERY hot day! Well, the lemonade only lasted 1/2 hour. Hard to tell if the pitcher kept it cold when it was gone so quickly!

Wow it looks really great, I can't believe you made them! I really like the fabric you picked out (and I'm drolling over your coffee table with the tray-it's stunning!)
