easy peasy facelifts

+ I know, I’ve been m.i.a. for a month now. Oops. But, a bad flu, work, and traveling seemed to have taken over April, and now it’s May!

After checking out the Brooklyn Flea yesterday, there were so many fun projects that people seemed to make! I was jealous of all their productivity. I also had to hold myself back from buying random antiques/junk/treasure (though I did let myself buy a $5 gem of a necklace!). As I was longing for two curvy mid-century modern faux leather chairs, reasoning recalled that I still have two chairs sitting in my living room that have been begging to be reupholstered for months now... my couch needs a facelift as well.

So, I was browsing Etsy looking for maybe some new pillows for the couch. Here are a few that I really like:

// love, california // adorable state-themed pillows out of felt


// willa skye home // pretty patterns in tasteful colors


// alison alison // silk screened animals with cute stitching details


Of course, with a sewing maching, some fabric and creativity, you could make any of these on your own!
