There’s nothing like a nice squishy tosser, as I’ve mentioned previously. In my little abode, throw pillows get sat on, chucked around, used as trivets, gnawed by curious kitties, and taken on long car trips. Huh…maybe that’s why none of mine are stuffed with down and covered in raw shantung silk like the colorful examples above. If your throw pillows lead a far less vigorous life than my own, perhaps it’s time to upgrade to something more refined.

Comfy looking, no?

Doesn’t that look gorgeous? It’s the little touches–like funky pillows or an heirloom quilt–that make a space feel homey to me, which is why sitting on any of my couches and chairs usually involves moving a bunch of throws and things. What are the tiny details that make you feel at home?

    One homey touch that we do not have and that is on my list(and I think I’m going to have to make it because they seem to cost the earth) is an upholstered ottoman. I really cringe at the thought of people putting their feet on the coffee table, but sometimes one must put up one’s feet. At the moment, I am investigating the internet for instructions because I already have some lovely tapestry fabric for the upholstery part.

    Books, candles, and cats. A good lamp, a very comfy chair (with room for one human and two fuzz balls), and a soft warm throw…. Everything else is decoration.

    The flowers in that picture look lovely. It’s so serene and peaceful.
