Finally! Another installment of the long neglected William Morris Project! It’s been quiet here on the blog, but I have been working diligently every week to do a little something to make our house a home. I’ve been hesitant to share because….well, I’m afraid that the comparison trap got me once again. So many times, I’ve started drafting a post only to delete it. It’s not “Pinterest worthy” or “pretty enough” or it seems silly to write a whole post about something like organizing the pantry. I compare myself to the blog superstars and always come out the loser.
No more. I’m proud of the home I’m creating! It may never make the pages of a magazine, but it’s ours and a constant work in progress. Today, I want to show you my new pillows!
My original plan was to DIY my own, but I seem to have expensive taste in fabric. Hah! So I decided to use a Target coupon, along with my 5% off for using my card, to get a pretty great deal instead. I picked out one pillow for the colors and aesthetic, while the boys in the family chose the other. I’ll let you guess who picked which one.
The living room is slowly coming together. The rest of my to-do list:
+ Paint the bottom half of the room the same Manchester Tan as the top half.
+ Purchase curtain rods and curtains.
+ Decide on artwork or photographs above the TV.
+ Start a vintage globe collection to be held on top of both cabinets (and put away the Hungry Hungry Hippo game!)
What have you been working on to make your house a home? Any exciting purchases? Did you organize a drawer or a pantry? I’d love to hear about it, big or small!
Are those Ikea cabinets? I like them. I want something like that or a hutch or something for our dining nook.
Projects here – the husband hung the new front door. He's finishing the bookcases. He's finishing the kitchen. Mostly just hanging art on the walls since it's easier/faster. 😉
I like the pillows!
I love your pillows! Sometimes the smallest changes can make an entire room happier 🙂 I've been trying to organize kids clothes and shoes–pulling out the bigger sizes and putting away the smaller sizes! And I just may be a valence away from finishing Lila's room.
