Here at StoneGable we are drowning in pillows! Fluffy pillows, patterned pillows, down pillows, square pillows, big pillows, striped pillows, seasonal pillows... ... Oh, I have a love affair with pillows!
Loving pillows does have it's down side... where do I put all their pretty fluffiness when I need to kick them out off their home on the bed... or sofa... or chair? They litter the floor or teeter pyramid style on coffee tables, dressers, bookshelves...
Recently I was at a consignment shop and found the solution to the pillow dilemma for one room at StoneGable.
This beautiful big vintage basket is just the right size to corral the pillows in one of the guest rooms!
Look at those sturdy wooden handles... so easy to carry!
Solving the downside of one addiction... leads to feeding another...
My love affair with... BASKETS!
Nice basket! Love these types of addictions!! :0
ReplyDeleteA very pretty solution Yvonne!! I own every single pillow in your basket except for the one with the starfish LOL! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant and attractive, great idea.
ReplyDeleteWe have a pillow situation here too so I can relate to your solution and shall keep my peepers open for a nice huge affordable basket to use as well.
Thanks for the idea, Yvonne!
Have a wonderful holiday weekend.
Hi darling, you rock.. love taking to addictions and putting them together! You always find the greatest treasures when you're out and about. Love the fabric on the pillows..

Believe it or not we have the same problem at the shop! It's a constant struggle to keep up off of the floor! When we sell a piece that usually has a lot of pillows on it like a bed, bench, set of chairs, etc…I feel myself cringe inside for fear of where to put the pillows! At home I try to keep them to a minimum so I don't fret over who's going to either throw them on the floor or smash them to death when they sit on the sofa! It's not worth it to me to worry about my expensive fringe getting torn off so I've had to work on my attitude as well! Ha ha! Love this pillow basket!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea, Yvonne! I know that when I take the pillows off my bed at night, they are piled on a small ottoman I have. I like the way the basket looks with them, too. I may have to copy this idea. Especially for the guest room. It makes it so much easier for guests to know where they can put the pillows.
ReplyDeleteThat IS a great basket. (I was with you when you got it):):) I will ahve to look for onr for our new bedroom. Right now they reside on the floor at night, NOT GOOD!!! Let's go shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):) Have a GREAT weekend. I am packing. XOXO
ReplyDeleteAAUUGGHH, TYPOS!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect solution for me Yvonne because aside from a pillow addiction, I have a basket addiction too!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
haha, yup, I too have a basket obsession, which in turn houses my pillow obsession =) Yours is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne, I hear you on this problem! I try this too, sometimes the pillows still end up on the floor after Jim tosses them to the basket. He could never play basketball! Your pillows are gorgeous and I love the basket.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Labor Day weekend……..

A very nice solution to the pillow problem. Can pillows every really be a problem? I don't think so but my hubby does, he ask just about every night "Why do we have to take these pillow off the bed again" only for me to put them back on the next day.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea! I hate the way my pillows are all over the floor. I had been trying to come up with a solution (stuffing under the bed, cramming in the closet and closing the door QUICK), but a cute, sturdy basket is the best solution!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Yvonne! I have an abundance of pillows in the bedroom; and they used to be all over the floor at night. Then, we started stacking them on the chairs in the sitting area. Problem is...the chairs are full when you just want to sit and read or watch TV. So, back to the floor they go! Maybe this is my next solution!!!
ReplyDeleteYvonne,Oh so true! This basket is perfect for pillow overflow (I have the same addiction)!

ReplyDeleteCiao for now... Mary
Sigh... addictions and luv affairs :-) The things that makes our heart go pitter patter.
ReplyDeleteLuv the way the fluffy pillows look all piled in the basket. I have a big white basket behind the recliners that collect the pillows when bodies or the pup is in residence. Luv the idea!!|
Cheers, Gee
Love the basket, Yvonne! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous basket to house all your exquisite pillows! Great solution! I, too, have been on the search for two vintage baskets with handles for the laundry room! Hoping to find them when vacationing this month...wish me luck!
Fondly,
Pat
Love the pillow basket. What a great idea. It's hard to know what to do with pillows from the bed at night. Same with a heavy duvet cover when the weather's too hot for them.

Hi Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful idea!!! Thanks!
Dee
Awesome idea,I need to do the same thing,when taking the pillows off the bed every night I just put them on a small bench beside the bed,I NEED A BASKET,going to look for one right now.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I've recently removed a LOT of pillows in the living room because I was tired of everyone throwing them on the floor!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteI want a basket JUST like that one! I don't have any pillows to put in it yet, but that will come, in time. Anything to keep bedding/pillows/throws off the floor where the beast hairs appear no matter how I brush and vacuum!
ReplyDeleteAhh yes...the pillow problem!! I ended up with a basket too.
ReplyDeleteYours looks great!
OOH...I love pillows, too! Such a lovely basket, which could be another obsession of mine! Blessings, Christie
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Yvonne. I use basket for that sort of thing as well. I have a big wicker basket in the den that holds all our throws.

You can never have too many baskets.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!! Linda
Great look, Yvonne. I can't resist pillows either.♥
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to see that I am not the only one with these addictions! Your pillows are lovely and the basket is perfect. I really like the dark color. Hope your weekend is lovely. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely pillows and basket! There is no help for either addiction....not that I want help! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I think I'm going to need a bigger basket! I too love pillows... and baskets. What's not to love?
