Architectural salvage is a great way to add charm to your home. You can add it in big ways like using reclaimed hardwood for your floors or by simply adding some old corbels to your bookcase.

Keep your eye out for the rusty, crusty and dusty to add unique charm and style to your home decor.

Pillows, The Secret Decorating Powerhouse Mar 31, 2017

Show notes

Who doesn't love PILLOWS?!!!! They are like jewelry for your home! Pillows are an inexpensive way to change the look of a room.
They are a home decorator's best friend! Pillows can add different styles to a room.
Be aware that pillows can be bought as a pillow cover with a separate insert. Many advantages of pillow covers. Save the inserts.
Choose down inserts for indoor use. Great places to find down inserts- Ikea, Pottery Barn, Calico Corner.
Don't just think about pillows on the furniture, think about floor pillows for a pretty decor punch!
Barb, a blog reader and podcast listener reminds us not to use detergent with phosphorus if we make pillows using fusible webbing. Thanks, Barb! You are the best!!!!
