We talk on our podcast Decorating Tips and Tricks a lot about redoing a room in a budget. I used to always buy a patterned sofa. Then a few years down the road, I would tire of said sofa, and I couldn’t wait to get rid of it. This is an expensive way to change the look of a room. On our podcast, we highly recommend that you find fairly neutral, good quality furniture and then change out your look with pillows. This way you can completely change your look without spending hundreds or thousands on furniture.
It’s amazing how different a room can look when you change the pillows and throws. We also suggest you buy good quality pillow forms so that you aren’t switching out the actual pillows, only the pillow covers. That way you don’t have to store a bunch of pillow forms.The covers that are out of season can be stored easily since they lie flat. Then bring them out when you are ready for them, and store the extras until later.
Which brings me to my favorite pillow that I adore. It’s a double ruffle box pillow in ticking. The thing I love about it is that you can use it for a pillow, a seat cushion, or even a floor cushion. A pair of these would be great on a bed too.
These pillows come in 6 colors and I have a collection of all six. That’s right, I love these pillows that much.
They mix well with my other pillows also.
See what I mean? Since I sew, I know how much work it takes to make a box pillow with a double ruffle and a hidden zipper. That’s why I’m really quite excited to let you know that we’re offering these pillow covers for $55 each with free shipping! This sale has ended
Speaking of ticking, I adore using it everywhere, including on my settee mattress. Since people always ask, I will share that the cushion is not available any where. I simply asked a nearby upholstery shop to make the cushion to fit my crib. This is a French crib and it’s not the size of a normal crib mattress, so I had to get one made. I have bought American antique cribs before and for those, you can often buy a crib mattress and it fits perfectly.
Here is a pillow with a lavender botanical on it that I love.
These are very pretty pictures. I liked these pillows. Thanks a lot for sharing this post.
Where are the lavender ticking stripes? Lol ?. Love all the new pillows!
I know! I will see what I can do!
I have a small obsession with ticking fabric and these are awesome! I love all the colors but the blue would definitely have to be my favorite. I can see myself lounging with one of these for sure! They look so comfortable.
I’d like to invite you to share these at my party, Make Life Pretty Monday. You can join at http://www.theorganizeddream.com
I’m looking for a small chair cushions for my daughter’s French themed bedroom. I loved these, but alas… no lilac! Lol
Oh I think we need to add Lilac Elisa. I’ll ask about that.
Where can you buy these pillows
Heidi, we used to sell them in our online shop. Sadly we closed the store last fall, and I no longer have a source for them.
Awww I’m sorry to hear that. Thank you for letting me know… I’ll just have to figure out how to make these myself. Wish I could find the fabric.
All you have to do is search online. I have purchased ticking on Amazon.
I absolutely love these pillows. Can you still purchase somehow? I do a little sewing, not sure if I can do these. Thank you Linda
Linda, I wish I had a good source for you, but I don’t. I am not sure where to even look for them. Maybe Etsy.
Are you located in Cedar Hill?
No, our farm is in Round Top Janette.
I am interested in purchasing your pillows.
How can I go about that?
Darla, we don’t sell them any more. I’m so sorry you missed it when we had our store.
Not sure if u r still looking for these, but if u are… check out my shop feed on instagram. I’d love to make them for u.

Can you create and sell a pattern for the pillows
Penny, I didn’t make these pillows, so I don’t have the pattern. Maybe there’s a pattern available on Etsy.
