~Changing Pillows after 22 years~

Hello Everyone,

I know, I know.  How can anyone have the same pillows on their sofa for 22 years? 

Well the answer is - Sweetheart and I remodeled our home in 1990 and purchased all new furniture for the living room.  The hounds tooth sofa came with the pillows you see in this photo.  Our daughter had just been married in February of 1990 and we started to remodel the next month.

  We actually remodeled the entire house.

Some folks move to a different house.  Well we just moved to the garage for 6 months. 

 The weather was beautiful so we forged along doing most of the work ourselves.

I added the burgundy pillow last year and the throws are in the same color tones so I keep them on the sofa during the winter.  

I had to make a choice along time ago to buy new furniture or travel.  I love to travel...

Being empty nesters the furniture has worn very well over the years. 

 Our kitchen on the other hand is in dire need of a face lift. 

I've had this vignette on the sofa table for awhile and  I'm ready for spring and a new look.

I have some camellias blooming in the front yard and I think I will  bring them in the house and give this table a   fresh look. 

I have been switching things around on the coffee tables, but I think the tables and mantel are going to get a new redo real soon!

I'm so done with farm animals. I need style~

My sister-in-law and I were shopping at yard sales when she spotted this fabric.  Buy it, buy it I heard.   I didn't know what I was going to do with it, but I'm so happy I had this fabric around when my creative juices started to flow. And  of course blogging is so inspiring. Such beautiful homes and decor.   Now this is the amazing part.  I had just enough fabric to cover two pillows. One pillow for the sofa and one pillow for the love seat.  I just love them.  

As they say in blog world Easy Peasy. 

To make the pillow cover I sewed a pillow case with the new fabric. And then hand stitched the bottom of pillow cover closed.  To recover the pillows I will just open up the bottom with a seam ripper and remove the original pillow.  Ta-da..

Sofa Pillow finished.

Another look at what is going to be history in a few weeks.  LOL!

Love seat pillow finished.
