Pillow
Love It or Hate It? Crab Pillow
Generally I'm not a fan of oceanic/nautical-themed décor — and definitely not themed rooms — but there's something about this Handmade Crab Pillow ($52) that I'm really finding charming. I suppose if you're going to have critters "roaming" around your house, they might as well be stuffed! Yea or nay?
Who Called Tassels the Earrings of the Home?
Referring to his new button-tufted pillows, a well-known interior designer said he believes "tassels are the earrings of the home." I most definitely agree! And how chic are the corner tassels on these pillows?
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.
Roundup: Ikat and Suzani Pillows For Valentine's Day
Painter, designer, and purveyor of all things ikat Madeline Weinrib is trying to change the face of Valentine's Day this year, offering up her beautiful handmade ikat and suzani pillows and clutches as V-Day gifts in place of red roses and heart-shaped boxes of chocolate. Produced historically for dowries and in marriage customs in Central Asia, suzanis do make a fittingly romantic token of affection. If you live in New York City, I'd definitely recommend picking up one for yourself or your sweetheart at her atelier on the sixth floor of ABC Carpet & Home — look at that heart-shaped ikat bolster!
Love It or Hate It? Felted Stone Lumbar Pillow
I like the concept of this Felted Stone Lumbar Pillow ($198) by South African textile designer Ronel Jordaan. It has the look of hard stone, but the cushy comfort of any other wool pillow. And, the felt succulents sticking out from between the stones add another charming, nature-inspired element.
Desire/Acquire: Sheesha Mirrored Pillows
Last year on The City, I noticed Olivia Palermo's mirrored pillows, which were a bit glitzy Old Hollywood, but still had a muted, quiet palette. I found look-alikes over at Jayson Home and Garden, the Sheesha Pillows ($235-295, for 20 or 26 inches), but unfortunately they were still out of my budget. So I was ecstatic to recently find quite similar mirrored pillows for basically 12 percent of Jayson's price!
The 10th DIY of Christmas: Easy Floral-Embellished Pillows
When it comes to holiday crafting, unless you started back in August, it's always best to stick with easy, less time-consuming projects — especially when you're in the homestretch of Christmas crafting! I made two of these pillows in less than an hour. They are easy for even beginning seamstresses, and the small, calla lily floral detail on the pillows adds a fun visual element that helps to make them more unique.
Desire/Acquire: Ferm Living Treebomb Pillow
I absolutely love the Ferm Living Silk Treebomb Pillow ($110). It's really eye-catching and has an ethereal, wintry quality that's just plain dreamy. But, as much as I think sometimes it's worth it to spend upwards of $100 on a pillow, I'm still wary of it because I've seen so many equally arresting designs at more palatable prices.
Nice and New: Fresh Finds at Ferm Living
One of my favorite wallpaper retailers, Ferm Living, has a few new things in store that I'm really loving. First of all, I think the way this Sewing Kit Wall Sticker ($57.50) is staged is absolutely hilarious. I think it would be clever to use it around a window or doorway in your home, especially one that doesn't have a lot of molding.
Etsy Finds: Decorative Designer Pillows
A chic throw pillow will give an instant face-lift to even the shabbiest of sofas and chairs. At the same time, you can easily swap out your throw pillows to give your seating a whole new look. As it turns out, you can snag plenty of decorative pillows made from luxurious designer fabrics on Etsy.
