everyday is beautiful: [ a new pillow addition ]

NOW THAT I shuffled things around and placed my big beach art over my console, I had to find a new home for my big painting. I decided that over the storage bench in the entry would be an ideal spot. Once it was hung, I realized that it was crying out for something...

I didn't want anything too obtrusive since we go in and out of that bench constantly {we hide a ton of shoes in there}. So I thought one long pillow would be perfect to fill the spot and make it feel less bare.

Off to my fabric stash...

I found a piece of this pretty Amy Butler Nigella fabric leftover from a handbag I had made and thought the colours would pair nicely with the painting. I bought a cheap pillow form for about $8...

found a bit of fabric for the back {since I like the option of flipping it around for a different look} and some buttons for the closure...

a bit of white piping and I was all set! {I love finding everything I need right in my drawers!}

It didn't take long to put it together and I love how it turned out...
