Decorating a Living Room Bay Window

By

I received the pillows described in this post for free in exchange for my honest review. A few years ago my husband and I had a bay window installed in our living room.

In the meantime, I've found a much easier (and quicker) way to dress up a bay window. At first, I only had a simple cushion that I had sewed on the window seat. At the time, the cushion matched the color scheme of the curtains that I had in the Continue reading...
