A tad bit more of autumn cottage redoing

Have you ever looked at throw pillow covers on Amazon? I had no idea there was such a vast option to create a new look for the sofa!

In the past, I would either make coverings (in my sloppy, bad sewing way, that tied shut because I couldn’t make buttonholes or zippers), or I’d splurge and buy new pillows that I didn’t really need and created a storage problem.

Well, no longer. Well made pillow cases with invisible zippers are pretty cheap on amazon and arrive in a couple days.

I bought 4 of the cream velvet with Pom Poms for $9 each, but decided to only use two for now. I like the mix with the two warmer toned pillows for Fall.  But 4 cream ones for winter will be ideal.

The two hydrangea with vintage text on velvet were also $9 a piece.  All were Prime purchases, so had free shipping.

The lush, plush throw with fringe was $17 at Homegoods.

And oh my, that is about as cuddly and welcoming as a blanket can get.

The rest of the redo is just moving some things that I already had around.   I thought the vintage blue mirror that holds a pumpkin my friend Tami made looked pretty with the blue hydrangea pillow.

Then, I added a blue rimmed plate to match.  Blue isn’t a typical Autumn color, but I felt like the rich, deep shade suited the season.

Spring and summer are more to my taste than Fall.   When the leaves start to turn, I start fretting about being cooped up for winter.    

And this year?

With Covid still spreading, the dread of winter is really looming over me. Getting together outdoors with friends and family has meant the world to me.  Losing that time to cold weather will not be easy.

I might turn into a shopaholic, serial redo-er to keep myself sane indoors.  Look out, Amazon, your pillow cover supply is in danger!
