part of the living room design plan is for a better color scheme to brighten up our ho-hum brown couch and chair. i'm taking out all the green that is currently in the room, including the green pillows. i sewed this new pillow cover yesterday (with a zipper if i want to swap it out later). it was pretty much a freebie, because i already had the pillow form from an old pillow and the fabric is left over from this roman shade. i just had to buy the zipper, which was like a dollar at joann's with a coupon. score!

here are the instructions i used (clipped ages ago in evernote for when the day would come!). and on a side note, ben said the way i fluffed the pillow looked like rabbit ears or the "m in mugatu." :)

happy saturday! today, my sister-in-law maggie and i worked on decorating her baby boy's nursery. maggie is due in just under three weeks and the nursery is looking SO cute! she and her husband decided on a transportation theme and she found all sorts of cute art from etsy, including these adorable decals. can't wait to meet this little guy!

my sister took the day off yesterday and invited me to hang out at her apartment's pool. it was swarming with kids, and frankly, it was so hot that i didn't mind getting splashed one bit.
