created just like my other pillows here and here, this is my way of designing exactly what i want for the look i'm going for.oh but why am i making new slip covers do you ask?
this slip covered pillow was created ... *drum roll please*
for my new to me...
leather couch.yes, remember when i
and instantly with the first one she sent a link to, i fell in love, not just with the look (it's EXACTLY what i was looking for) but with the price as well.
yes, ladies i got that couch for $145.
if you knew me in person when i got my other couches (they were new 12 years ago) then you would know, and understand why, my nickname that my husband gave me for the the first 10 years of our marriage was "couch Nazi". i do not do well with "new and nice" things lets just leave it at that.
so this new to me couch may have a few cat scratches, and yes, it has been loved by two other families..but it's perfect for
so heather, thank you so much, and my family thanks you too, because we got a nice enough couch, but not too nice that i start twitching every time the kids or the husband come within 4 feet of it.
come monday we will be having our monthly sponsored giveaway. trust me you'll want it.
have a good weekend.
we'll talk soon.
check out what's on sale and i want at burgundy buttons!

Love it!! Love the whole look of your room... love the price of the couch! Fantastic!!
Oh, and I totally understand the word verification. I tried again to take it off of apron girls and got a ton of spam within a few hours. Sucky spammers.
What a great find and I love the look of your room,looks very inviting.
cheers

great deal on the leather sofa. Looks great. LOL, glad to know that I am not the only one who has issues with new things. I have been fondly called the "carpet nazi" by the family after we got our new carpet oh 2 years ago. We move every few years because of the hubs job, so I want the carpet to stay as new as I can when we move.LOL, maybe we need a twelve step program. : )
Yeah for you!!! It matches your style and colors so well.
I too love leather. We are moving to Seoul, Korea in July and my thing was I will only go if I can take my leather furniture and if the fatquarter shop will ship to APO's and they do!
Happy Decorating
you could get...addicted.
HAHAHA.
your email last night cracked me up hardcore.
:)
CANNOT believe that price!!!! that's amazing:O)
I LOVE your style! Wow! Great couch, and pillow! ;)
Beautiful couch and pillow... if ours looked like that I might not hate it as much LOL
What a bargain!!! Looks great. The pillow is darlin!
That couch is EXACTLY what I want. Nice clean lines, not over stuffed. I had given up on finding anything like it on craigslist but maybe I'll keep trying. Congrats!
Love the couch, and O.M.Gosh what a deal!! Have fun with your new treasure, couch Nazi. ;)
How Great! I love the couch - and your living room - AND the pillow! The brown and blue are awesome together!
Your whole room is just gorgeous and I love the pillow.
Score one for you!!! That couch is beautiful. I would have never guessed that it was not brand spankin' new! And for $145!! Another big score! It really goes well in your livingroom. I'm sure the whole family is stoked about it. Lucky you! Jenn
KSL Classifieds rock! I think I shall have to copy your living room decor...do you mind? I'll invite you over for lunch when the replication is complete! :)
I'm totally the same way. Don't fret. I have been looking on KSL for two years for the perfect couch... I just found one! Only $100. I just posted it come check it out! I love it so. Love your pillows btw.
wow - amazing deal on the couch! your whole room could be in a magazine:) i am the same way with things we spend money on so we got a faux leather couch that looks just like leather but CAN NOT be destroyed by my boys:)
Holy bargain!!!!!
I just went shopping at Ikea for our furniture and I have to say I really do love the slipcovers!
K, I must have one of those throw pillows in orange!! I have a couch very similiar to yours and LOVE it!
Hello! Beautiful room! And the pillow design is awesome. I love clean look and the color is fresh. I was wondering, where did you get the glass dome that sits on table behind your couch? I have been looking around and can't find any.
Thank you and have a great weekend!
tai pan baby! love that place.
Very pretty! Love the way you have your living room put together! Have a good weekend! :)
SO COOL!! KSL is awesome! i got a nice protable dishwasher from there!! I also love your living room and your decorating sense!! You could be a decorator!!
YAY! The pillow is pretty cute, and I am not going to lie, I noticed it was on a leather couch right away, so I had a feeling something fabulous was soon to follow.
Although, the parting of those couches seems like the end of an era!
Woah! I can't believe you got such a great deal on that couch! Nice work. And I love the pillow. :)
LOVE THIS!!! you house is so so gorgeous i just love your decor and design!

hooray for you. It is a true beauty!
Enjoy!
Congrats!! :)
we have that couch! we have had it for 5 years and i now have three children who have spilled things on it, thrown up on it, drawn on it, and on and on and on and it still looks new. as much as i didn't want leather, i love the fact that we just wipe off whatever gets on it. maybe i need some new pillows for mine, too!
Wow thats awesome! It looks like it's in pretty good condition too! I wanted to tell you that I used your snow ruffle pillow tutorial, and copied your darling ideas for some new pillows for my sister in laws bed! I've got the pictures on my blog tjandwhitnee.blogspot.com!
I, too, love a good bargain and you certainly found yourself one. Your room looks great and I love your new pillow.
Sweet find!! I know what you mean. I keep dreaming about new couches, but as I observe the destructive powers of my children (specifically my boys!) I figure, why waste my money/peace & serenity on couches that will only be put through the refiner's fire. Some day!
LOve your new pillow too!!
AWESOME. Love the couch! Love the pillow even more! congrats :)
awesome sofa!!
know what you mean about being able to "let" the kids and hubby near it
and it was such a GREAT price
...obviously meant to have it, looking forward to what else you have in store....
That is one heck of a score couch-wise!
And, V, love the pillow. Continue with more, please.
Woman, you have such talent for decorating! WAnna come to my challenged home? It's 100+ years old, has lots of character, but I'm just not wonderful like you are....your little vingettes everywhere are picturesque...
Congratulations on the new couch. I like leather couches a little worn anyways. They look and feel a little cozier to me.
YEA!!! I am so happy for you!
love, love, LOVE it - the pillow and the couch. and this way, you didn't have to break in a new leather couch - which is very hard to do. SWEET. i've been busy so i've missed your posts - sorry. loves!
Love the new pillow and couch!! What an awesome deal, Heather is such a sweetheart!
holy torpedo!!! i love the couch... but i am still IN LOVE with your old couches... what did you do with it? can i buy it off of you? i know you think im crazy, but i'll take them off your hands if you still have em. we need to plan another weekend and play!

Oh, Vaness - I love the pillow and I absolutely LOVE your house. I hope that I can someday see it in person!
I know that I owe you an email and I will send it soon...
:)
Fun, I love it! It was great to see you guys...
I just LOVE your style of decorating. Really. You are amazing.
Such a deal on that beautiful sofa! Your room is just perfect now.
Love love love it!!! Glad to help!! (Beauty Queen wave).
Lovely pillow. I love it.
Lovely photos. If that is really your home, I think you are the most talented lady!
I have been out of town and missed my blog friends.
Hugs, Dogwood
Um, jealous! I've been trolling the KSL ads FOREVER and never come across such a steal!
I just found your blog and the room is absolutely adorable- what a great find, too!
xo
WOO-HOO on the leather couch! I love ours! It's the best thing when you have kids. Your so good with te bargain hunting!
I've been known as the 'couch nazi' in our house, too; apparently I am unbearable when there is brand new furniture around. :-) I love second-hand, and have clothed my family in Op-shop finds for forever. And I don't think you could have done any better with that couch - it is gorgeous!
I love how you decorate your home. You have such wonderful taste. How do you keep a house so perfect with kids? I love the fine little touches and the clutter free counters in the kitchen...one day for me...maybe!
