What a difference a few pillows can make...

Happy Monday everyone! What a great weekend! With two weeks to go I was super productive this weekend. I checked things off my list including:
  • Installing car seat
  • Returning curtain rod I ordered online
  • Wrote over 70 thank-you cards (my hand still hurts)
  • Re-posted my couches for sale on Craigslist (anyone interested?)
  • Washed the last of the baby clothes
  • Moved all of my lamps (I have a major obsession) around--see post later this week
  • Bought new pillows for my couch
  • Physical for life insurance
  • Finalized will
  • the list goes on and on...
But what a difference a few pillows can make! Do you remember my post from last week about how I wasn't loving my new couch yet? The graphic pillows were too bold and offered no additional color to the room. I found pillows at ZGallerie that I loved--but I started worrying those would be too graphic as well. So I decided on some soft floral pillows from Potterybarn and I think they look perfect in the space!

They bring in new colors to the room such as red, orange and yellow--and not only does the whole room feel brighter but my couch feels warmer and less blue-toned!

I even think it makes my super dark leather ottoman look softer, which is a huge relief to Ryan since I won't be bugging him to buy a new coffee table anytime soon...even though I found this for sale as a floor model this weekend and wanted it so bad...
Hope everyone has a great week!
