Etsy Pillows

I'm always in awe of people who take the plunge and go for bold colour schemes in rooms. I , on the other hand, always air on the side of neutrals for the bigger pieces in a room, like linens and whites, because as creativity hits I like to be able to modify looks with different colours and accents.

I think that it is just the stage of where I'm at in my life, I'm not totally decided on what our look is. So I air on the side of caution with fabrics for big items. I try to avoid trendy fabrics for major pieces, as I know my style - I'll want to change it up.

I've always said to Aubrey that it's cheaper to get new toss cushions, than it is to repaint and reupholster. And on that note, I was browsing Etsy and came acrosss some sellers that are awesome at making those statement pillows that would make a room super awesomely trendy, without breaking the bank. (Ok, except #3 below which is outta my budget)
