Curtains and Pillows

Anyone who knows me, most likely knows that I have a strong affinity for pillows. I am just so drawn to their fluffy softness. And I love that a few new throws can dramatically change the look of a space. A dreary boring old couch can change to fabulous in seconds! Its all about the pillows. Trust me. When shopping, I manage to almost always find myself in the aisles that are overflowing with these fluffy accents. And whoever is with me generally rolls their eyes. Yes, its true, I DO have about seven extra throw pillows in my closet right now... You are right, I do not NEED any more... But check these lovelies out! Joaquin has approved of them because they are replacing the velvet-ey/jewel bedecked (too girly) ones that have resided on our bed. I got them on clearance at my favorite store, Target, using a b-day giftcard, no less:

As I was doing laundry this past Saturday, I started taking a look at our curtains... We got some really nice curtains as wedding gifts and they provide such a homey touch to our non-descript apartment walls. We have two sets, a bluish-green in the family room, and a tan-khaki color in our bedroom. Well, taking note of the colors in my new pillows, I decided to switch out the curtains for a new affect (that, and I wanted to test Joaquin's observation skills! :). Well, he passed!... First thing he said when we entered the apartment later that day (even while he was mid-sentence on a different topic) was, "Hey! You changed the curtains!" Shoot, I can never sneak anything by him! :) I will never be that wife that sneaks a new shoe or skirt purchase in here or there unnoticed. He remembers practically all the details. Well, I am thankful that he pays attention, for sure!

I am really liking Victoria Hagan's decorative line at Target these days! Check it out (click on link).
