Sofa Styling

Happy Friday Dolls we made through another week!!

As a designer you are ALWAYS changing things around. So, whenever I have guests over they always comment on how much fun it is to come to my home as it never looks the same. Really a lot of the time I have just switched out the pillows and some accessories. You know of my vast and ever growing pillow collection so it really isn't that big of a deal! The other thing that seems to come up is the question of how many pillows to put on a sofa and should they all match? My answer and professional opinion is this........ mix or match, use pairs or not and depending on the look you want and the style of your sofa anywhere from 2- 5 pillows. ( more if you have a sectional) In a nutshell it is personal preference. The two rules of thumb that I always go by are all pillows must have feather/down inserts to give a high end feel and mix up the shape and sizes to create interest. I have styled one sofa three different ways to give you an idea. 

Enjoy!

C Wonder-ful

While I was in California last week I came across the store
C Wonder. We don't have this in Arizona yet so I was very curious to take a peek inside and see if it lived up to the hype. The interior was crisp and colorful and had a very happy vibe. On staff that day were 2 cute young girls that were very nice and helpful. I skimmed throughout the clothes and made my way to the home section. Although I have been on their website I was leery as to the quality of the items but was pleasantly surprised. The dinnerware was very nice and would make any tablescape proud, the pillow collection was diverse with pattern and color and had a little something for every type of decor, there were also cute trinket dishes, place mats, napkins etc. All in all I enjoyed the store and even made a purchase of some pillows (big surprise). C Wonder  may not carry all your home decor needs but the pieces that they do carry are classic and stylish....here are a few of my FAVES.

Pillow Obsession

Pillows are the best and quickest ways to change the look and mood of any room. This is not just a design tip it is one of my personal beliefs and obsessions. I have a very large and varied collection of pillows (which continues to grow )  so I can change the look of any room in my home at any given time. I also have a entire board dedicated to Pillows on Pinterest.
Here are some of my current FAVE pillow obsessions.

Hope your day is FAB!

Love,
