22 Farmhouse French Pillows

By Anita 37 Comments

Farmhouse French pillows are any pillows that work with farmhouse French style. They are not necessarily French. They don’t have to be French, they just need to work with Farmhouse French style.

The purpose of my Farmhouse French Friday is to pick one element and show you loads of examples of that element and many different options. Let’s talk about pillows today. Note the grainsack style pillows shown below. All of these are reproduction.

The only pillows made from real grainsacks below are the blue striped ones on the daybed and the two pillows on the floor.

Below I am showing a few linen ruffled pillows and a lavender satin embroidered one. Note that the style works well with refined and rustic  pillows.

Blue linen pillows and the blue stripe pillow are both perfect.

Here’s blue satin embroidered pillow and a furry white pillow. I love the two together.

    Love your antique linen pillows and I also am sold on blue anything. I am currently having cushions made for a reed chair and ottoman and can’t wait to see how the blues get along. The cushions are reversible, so I amusing two different patterns so I will have an easy change. Thank you, Linda

      Lynda, I made that bedspread probably 10 years ago, so that fabric is long gone. Hope you find what you need.

    I love pillows almost to obsession! My husband thinks I’m crazy. The first thing he does is throw them on the floor before he sits on the sofa.

    All these cushions are so pretty – I have been sourcing out fabrics, putting ideas together and I am inspired most of all by your posts. But I spend too much time looking, not enough time actually doing it!!

        Oh, Anita, thanks so much for the offer to order. I mainly was looking for the artwork ..or a ready made pillow. I have more ottomans now so I don’t need another one. Yours is wonderful and suits the style. I appreciate your answer to the comment and look forward to more of your wonderful taste and blogs.

        Have a blessed day

    When you make your pillows do you use a polyester form or a feather pillow,? If a feather pillow where do you get them from?

      Lori, I use both and use a wholesaler for my pillows. I buy boxes of them at a time.

    Always a beautiful share here with you Anita, I have been sewing up pillows the last couple of days and working on my Christmas stockings. I usually have them all cut out and sewn up in Aug and ready to list in my etsy in September.. looks like a very late start for me. A few to go around is better then non- making them gets me in the holiday spirit.
    I love your farmhouse pillows, and they will be loved by all that share I. Your creative farmhouse chic charm .

    I know this post is about pillows, and I love the examples you showed, but I’m curious where the rug with the wide blue and natural stripes came from. It makes that room look so warm and cozy!

    Hi Anita,
    I love all the pillows! I really like the linen cover on the chair featured above. I am looking for a red strip slipcover for a wing back chair, any ideas?

      Tina, I would use a red striped grainsack and some rustic linen. I have the grainsacks for sale here. http://shop.cedarhillfarmhouse.com/collections/fabric-and-fabric-products

        I’m not very good at sewing and would never be able to make something that nice, is there any where I can order a slip cover using this material?

          They have to be made custom for each chair so they fit perfectly. They are so much work too. I wouldn’t be able to sell them at a price that you would be happy with.

      Janet, this is an antique French crib that I found at Round Top. They are very hard to find, and I don’t know where you live. I had to have the mattress custom made for the crib. I would start by checking with antique dealers in your area. It took me years to find this one.
