 To go along with my new "look" for the living room I decided to slipcover my pillows instead of buying new ones.  
I used some flour sacks--- L.O.V.E.  So summery and light and airy...Except for the one on the left with the ties they are envelope style covers.  I had two on hand and then $1 apiece at Target.  Can't beat that.
And a little stenciling with some acrylic paint and scrap material from the drop cloth.
The whole look of this is so comforting.  Really relaxed looking and cozy.  And being able to wash all of it makes it even better!!!!  I'm already thinking about being able to change them for fall and the holidays....flannel, felted cashmere...some yummy fabrics.  I've washed and dried the two I bought for the sofa, but I'll be working at Winsome Cottage the next two days.  I'm ready to get going on it before I lose my momentum!!!
