I’ve been craving some updates, but as you’ve heard me say “budget” is our key word this year! Last year I made up these pillow covers for pillows in our master bedroom. I used a toile on the front and just plain Osnaberg fabric on the back.
This allowed me to give a couple of existing pillows a new look to work better with our master bedroom.
I could use the pillows as reversible, even with the plain fabric back, but thought it could use a little something. I decided to add a monogram using my husband’s first initial and mine. I purchased these from Winged Images on Etsy.
So now whenever the mood hits {including the mood that has me make our bed totally up on occasion}, I can either have the toile side show or the monogram side show.
The lumbar pillow in the middle works with them both ways, because I used the Osnaberg for the pillow itself and the toile for the ruffles on the side.
A change I was able to make for, literally, a couple of dollars {the cost of the images}!
So pretty! Love the monogram font. Really elegant.

ReplyDeleteI love the monogram pillows and I had to laugh...I seldom make my bed, I just pull the covers back and skip all the pillows...except when I am having company!
