Pillows are such an easy way to update my spaces throughout the seasons. Pillows are not cheap, and if I purchase every pillow I love, I would be broke. But I have a couple secrets about my pillow obsession.
First, I don’t buy the pillow cover AND the insert. Online I will find a pillow I love for $79. What I really love about the pillow is the fabric, not the actual insert. So, first I try to find the fabric. I can almost always find the fabric and purchase an entire yard for 70% off the list price. Another amazing option, is ETSY. There are many great gals on there that have already made the pillow cover with an envelope or zipper enclosure, in my fabric of choice. AND, because it is only a cover, it is usually around 50% of the retail price.
So, I have a small collection of “inserts.” I simply unzip my pillow covers and swap out my pillows. Now, pillow inserts are not cheap either. Here are two little secret that I will share.
1. A store like Home Goods sells a ton of pillows. Sometimes, I see a soft, fluffy down insert pillow, but, with a hideous cover, BUT, it is on sale for $7.99. Basically, it appears everyone also thought the pillow was hideous. So, for $7.99 I am basically buying the down pillow insert. I love doing this with long lumbar pillows for the beds when I stage a property.
2. Blowout Bedding. Love this website for staging properties. Prices are crazy low for down inserts.
Anyhoo, this weeks Must Have Monday are pillow’s I crave for my Spring updates to the home. There are all from one of my favorite pillow etsy shop, Mica Blue
