How to Update a Room With Pillows

Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member stephaniepoli from the Su Casa group: The living room was feeling kind of bland.

I also added these matching black and white lamps over the couch for added symmetry. For Read more

Photos of Coco Rocha's Apartment and Throw Pillows

Vogue.com recently toured the Gramercy Park home of model Coco Rocha and her artist husband James Conran. The apartment is luxurious in many ways (custom dream closet, check!), but it's also honest with a rough-around-the-edges look. Rocha's flawless face may be plastered on billboards a mile high in the sky, but her home gives me the feeling that she's still very down-to-earth. One thing in Read more

Sequin Throw Pillows For Holiday Decorating

While perusing shelter mags with festively decorated rooms, my fave standout piece this season hasn't been the Christmas tree, but the glitzy throw pillow. The shiny embellished accent perfectly reflects the tree lights and glowing fireplace and can go from Xmas festivities to New Year's and beyond.

Whitney Port's Sofa and Pillows

In this week's episode of The City, we got a glimpse of Whitney and Roxy's West Village apartment, a much less modern space than Whitney's one-bedroom last season. Whitney's brought her turquoise and gold patterned sofa along with her to her new digs, but it looks like she's given it a slight makeover by adding even more throw pillows. With so many mismatched textiles, the couch has a much more Read more

Food and drinks are served, hence the "happy hour." My first time using a sewing machine ever (!), we made Read more

New Zodiac Needlepoint Pillows From Jonathan Adler

I love the kitschy elegance of Jonathan Adler's "granny gone wild" needlepoint, and I can't resist horoscopes. Needless to say, I need to get my hands on Adler's latest needlepoint pillow offerings.

DIY: Throw Pillows

Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member Kyro298 from the Su Casa group: This is my first post so I hope it comes out okay. I have a few DIY projects I'd love to share. I CANNOT sew. Period . . . and I got sick of my plain, solid color throw pillows and think that throw pillows cost way too much most of the time. I got some solid color cloth napkins (because they already had hems sewn on Read more
