Have you ever spent 6 months looking for the perfect pillows? I’m almost ashamed to admit that I have, and I’m really hoping someone else answers yes so I don’t feel like a complete nutjob. Ever since we moved into our apartment in September, I had been looking for two orange accent pillows to go in our living room. It seems sort of ironic that I would find them now, almost a month to the day before we are moving. Again. But still, these pillows from Gianna are everything I wanted and more.

When I do small craft and design projects for my own home, I often wind up with small scraps of fabric, paper and other materials that I wind up throwing away or recycling despite my best intentions to find a use for them. Can you imagine how huge that pile of stuff would be if I were a practicing interior designer doing projects regularly?

If you’ve been reading Green Your Decor for any length of time, you probably know that I love throw pillows. They are an easy way to change the look of your space without doing anything too drastic, and they’re a great way to inject color in a room if you don’t want to take a chance on your walls or furniture (or if you’re a renter who can’t paint). It’s been a while since I’ve featured beautiful, handmade pillows, so today, I’ve got two great designers to share with you.

Have you ever come across a product concept and felt like the company came up with it just for you? That’s how I feel about Inhabit’s new Modern Classics Collection. I am seriously ready to pull out my debit card right now, but I wouldn’t know which to buy first! The collection includes pillows, wall art and hanging fabric panels, all featuring striking, colorful silhouettes of some of the most famous and iconic pieces of furniture on the planet: Eames, Bertoia and Barcelona chairs, among others.

Lately, I’ve been getting the itch to do a DIY project, big or small. Making pillows is easy enough, but I think I want to do something different, but equally as simple — like making a piece of wall art by stretching fabric over a frame. When I found these fabrics by Home Sweet on Etsy, that desire sparked up inside of me again. After all, prints as beautiful as these deserve to be put on display — works of art in themselves.
