I have recently become enamored of decorative throw pillows. I dropped a couple hundred bucks on them at Pier One last month before I could even catch myself. They were just sooooo gooorrrrgeous with all their fancy embroidery and color-coordinated matchlessness. I have the idea that my entire living room has been transformed.
Hubby hates decorative throw pillows. He thinks they’re in the way (it’s true that the wooden rocker is now awash in throw pillows to the point where you literally can’t sit in it without moving two strategically placed pillows) and as he can’t see them their beauty is lost on him. He’s not much for “stuff” that doesn’t have a purpose although the occasional bicycle-themed knick-knack does get his attention.
But my love of my recently acquired throw pillows is bad enough that I’ve caught myself mentally redecorating with new furniture that is exactly the same colors as the old furniture just so the throw pillows will continue to match. Oooo – new thought. Different colored furniture, return trip to Pier One!
