First I am in love with velvet right now. CLICK HERE for the bolster and HERE for the throw. In fact, I see more velvet and linen in my future. I can’t get enough. The fabrics are so luxurious.
I bought the velvet below to make a throw. I draped it over the chair to decide if I would put it there. The fabric looked so good, I never bothered to hem it. Oh come on, you know you’ve done the same thing!
CLICK HERE for more on this oversized bolster. And as you can see, I’m slowing adding color to my home in small doses.
Yes you can have pops of color and still call your decor neutral. Well I do any way.

I still have my boxwood wreaths around the house. They work well all year long. I love this wreath above my stove mixed with the bread boards. It adds a bit of color to the space.

There is so much more going on behind the scenes here, and I’ll announce it all as soon as I can. I have several projects in the works, but nothing is at a point that I can announce it.
Check out these velvet pillows I found for you. These are pretty reasonably priced.
I love velvet and linen together. I’ve worked in a fabric store and always buying some when there is a big sale. Love the pops of color you are using.
Congratulations on all of your exciting news.
