Replace Pillows to Protect From Dust Mites

CasaSugar Community member Sherrilee recently wrote in the Organization Tips group, "I found it's worth it if you change your pillows often. I buy new ones when they lose their plumpness. They aren't sanitary anymore, and I feel safer as it prevents dust mites and other germs. It's worth investing in." Do you do the same? Do you swap in new pillows when they're no longer plump or clean? Read more

CB2 Pixel Pillow

It's been a while since we've seen a great geeky pillow (like these 10 great picks), but I'm loving this Pixel Pillow ($50) from CB2. The square throw features pixelated detail in shades of orange, yellow, green and blue, perfect for mixing and matching with all types of couches.

West Elm Chunky Metallic Tassel Throw

About a year ago, I bought a pair of linen Fred Shand throw pillows from Anthropologie with persimmon zigzag stripes and appliqué strips of navy and white patterned silk. I absolutely love them, and the best part is the silver lining: rows of metallic sequins bordering the orange stripes. I'm not a flashy girl, but that little bit of shine sure does make me smile. So I've been on the hunt for Read more

Inexpensive Modern Throw Pillows and Piero Fornasetti Decor

I've always been a fan of Piero Fornasetti's mystical, black and white designs showcasing the face of 19th century operatic singer Lina Cavalieri. In particular, a throw pillow featuring that famous face is just the thing my sofa needs for a bit of je ne sais quoi. Unfortunately, $135, the price at Barneys New York, is more than I'm currently willing to spend. Lucky me, I recently discovered a Read more
