Front Porch Pillows

A few months ago, at Amanda's Decorating Dilemma Party (see post here ), I complained about my front porch.  It was BORING!!!  I got LOTS of suggestions and have made a few improvements, including the pillows I made.  Wanna see?


I love me some zebra!  I adore the envelope pillow with the green button.  Wanna see a close up?


Isn't it cute?  I used a ribbon covered button and a hair tie for the envelope closure.  It's far from perfect, but I think it turned out pretty good considering I didn't use a pattern.  I really wanted to try a pillow with cording, but I ran out of time .  I was trying to get this done before my company got here so I didn't have time for trial and error. 

So, here's the front porch now:


 

I still have some improvements to do, but it's looking better.

  7. It's coming along beautifully, and I LOVE anything zebra too! I love to be able to change out porch pillows.

    Your FIRST porch post niggled me to work on mine. I haven't yet. Hanging my head in shame.

  8. Oh my goodness. I have so much to learn. I am so completely inept at all things home. In the meantime, I'll ogle your ideas and pray sometime I have the patience to bring about something as nice at my own home.

    I found your blog via Debbie & Carrie above...two blogs I also follow, but who surely don't know each other. This blogosphere is a strange phenomenon, huh!?
