Welcome to the Pinterest Challenge, hosted by Erlene of My Pinterventures! In the challenge, held once a month, bloggers like myself tackle a project we've pinned. I've been thinking of making cushions for my kitchen chairs for some time. I finally found this pin by DIY Candy on how to make a chair cushion with chair ties. This pin shows how to make an entire chair cushion from scratch. (Creating the cover, stuffing the pillow, etc.) The pin inspired me to make DIY envelope cushion covers (with chair ties) for inexpensive $5 chair cushions that I found at my local Walmart. The cushions Continue reading...

Decorating a Living Room Bay Window
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. For a while, I was unsure as to how to dress up the window. I have been meaning to make a custom window seat cushion for the space, but haven't gotten around to it yet! 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...

I love changing the throw pillows on my living room's sofa. The room is the first room when entering my family's home. I like to decorate the space frequently throughout the year to reflect the seasons! Since I'm a busy and thrifty mom, I like to make my pillows as quickly and as inexpensively as possible. I've found one of the best ways to make a pillow with next to no sewing is to stuff double-sided placemats. By stuffing a placemat, I Continue reading...

Easy DIY Pillows 4 Ways
*This post contains affiliate links. When it comes to decorating my home, one thing I love to do is change the look of the throw pillows on my living room sofa.

Easy Cloth Napkin Pillows
Hello! I am back talking about easy DIY pillows again. (I last posted about my cloth placemat pillows.) As you probably know, I am in LOVE with my new Mohawk Home area rug, and my La-Z-Boy sofa, which I adore dressing up and making look pretty. So, when I found 4-packs of cloth napkins on sale at Target for less than $3 a pack, I had to snag them! I just love the pretty prints. I knew I could transform the cloth napkins into DIY cloth napkin pillows for my new La-Z-Boy sofa! I bought three packs of the cloth napkins. Since four napkins are in each pack, I could make Continue reading...
