Especially apt to give me fits of delight are beds full of soft, piled high pillows! I am NOT a minimalist, no not at all. I love detail and things that entertain my eyes. I have an affinity for color but appreciate the serenity of monocromatic themes as long as there are interesting things going on to keep my visual attention. I think that is why a bed full of beautifully picked pillows fixates me!
My bed is full of pillows. My bedroom is very traditional with a blue-white-yellow color palate. Symetrical placement of the pillows continues the traditional feel. These pillows have been bed buddies with me for years. Collecting new ones ocassionally as the need arises to replace worn and well-loved one.
Time honored color and clasic style is the look I want displayed in my inner sanctuary. I am very comfortable with yellow and the addition of blue and white speaks calmness and order to me. Something I need in my bedroom.
Toile and Flow Blue inspired pieces are repeated elements in my bedroom decor. The pillows reflect that as well. Yellow and soft gold in the pillows bring in the wall and floor color as well the comforter.
Don't you just want to jump in?
I am joining Rhondi at Rose Colored Glasses for her "Pillow Party"- ooooooh how fun!
Yvonne Dear. When I see your beautiful things, I feel like I am home with you. You are my JOY, Love, Mother
ReplyDeleteLove all your pillows, especially the blue ones! :-) Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteOh, my bed is also full of pillow. My hubby is not so fond, but I love them :)
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteYou have a bed full of lovely pillows! I adore that toile one! My eye always goes to the toile. I love the toile bedskirt also. Did you make that?
Your Mother left such a sweet comment!

Love your comfy cozy pillows. I don't have quite that many on my bed but do like lots of pillows too. Maybe I will add a couple since the dog can no longer jump on the bed to displace them! Thanks for stopping by dobco's, come back anytime!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and the shapes/textures of all the pillows. That is a lot of pillows on one bed! I have a few, not that many:)
ReplyDeleteSue
What a collection! Thanks for visiting my blog today!
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne
ReplyDeleteAll the pillows look wonderful arranged on your bed. The colors are so soft and restful and I love your elegant bedroom. Thanks for joining the party today.
Hugs, Rhondi
I'm totally with you on pillows--the more the merrier is my motto. I have them heaped all around me right now. I even have a pillow closet (though my friends call it the 'pillow 'ho' closet. I love them all. I gave my mother two red toile pillows for Christmas, and they were her favorite.
ReplyDeleteOOOO, what a delicious mixture of pillows. Of course, you know I love that one with the toile in the center of it. Blue and yellow is such a pretty combination, and you have done it beautifully. laurie
ReplyDeleteYvonne, what a beautiful group of pillows on your bed. I adore pillows, and it drives my husband crazy. He just doesn't get it!!! I wish I had paid attention. I didn't realize that Rhondi was hosting this party. Well, hopefully there will be another Pillow Party soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful room Yvonne, you have such wonderful classic taste in decorating. Although my decorating and room sizes are on a smaller scale we do have similar touches. I have a guest room done in blue and yellow and after seeing your beautiful room I'll be adding more pillows to the mix. Also have a toile bed skirt in my other guest room AND I have three Furbers over our bed. Thanks for the inspiration to get moving during these cold days and spif things up a bit.
ReplyDeleteI want to jump right into that bed...it looks so comfy and cozy. Love the colors...I love more traditional decorating and adding a personal flair. You have hit a home run here...beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI had to call my DH in here to look at your beautiful pillows, Yvonne, just to prove to him that some people have even more on the bed that I do. He HATES the few that I have on our bed. Hates-hates-hates them! Complains, fusses, fumes...I've given up.
ReplyDeleteYours look BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!
Oh your pillows are so pretty. You and I have very similar taste except my pillows are mostly red and cream.
ReplyDeleteAfter I read your post then I saw Poofing the Pillows on the title. That's the name of my blog. :) Great minds think alike.
I thought I had alot of pillows on our beds!!!! Yours are beautiful!!!! LOVE the toile!!! XO, Pinky PS, your Mother sounds sweet!
ReplyDeleteI've done the pillow thing, but tell me, what do you do with them at night? Pile them on the floor? It has kept me from having more than 2 on my bed, the ones that go under my head!
ReplyDeleteLaverne
Beautiful and inviting. So relaxing.
ReplyDeleteSo cozy and gorgeous.Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteFinally I found someone who loves pillows as much as I do. I think they make all the difference in a room. You have more on your bed than I do and I have a lot :)
ReplyDeleteCindy
Yvonne I too am crazy about pillows!! I always find another that I want...

ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely, lovely.
ReplyDeleteI have no other words.
Except maybe, "beautiful"!!!
I'm smitten with your blog and I'm your newest follower!
Wondering if you could share how you got your dust ruffle to go behind the sides of your bed? How did you work around the slats? I love the look but I have never been able to figure out how to do it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am looking through your decor posts...OH! I'm having lots of fun! Nancy
