Those old, ugly throw pillows...

Throw pillows are really expensive!  Recently, I moved our two couchs around and decided I needed to add some different color pillows to tie our living room together.  So I started pricing them out, and WOAH... I was blown away by the cost of two nice pillows.

Even at discount stores like HomeGoods and Tuesday Morning you pay $15.99-25.99 per pillow.  And most of those are the poly-filled, scratchy kind.  And if you do find a high quality pillow, the color or pattern is questionable.

So I started looking around my house to see what I could change and reuse for little or no money.  I was able to come up with two simple solutions.  I wrote about the first one in my post After The Comforter Dies.  My second solution began with pulling out all of our 10+ year old throw pillows from the bed, guest room, and tucked in the linen closet.

Some of these were shredding at the seams, but after closer inspection I had two pillows which could easily be recovered by some simple pillow covers.

So I pulled out my phone and began an Amazon search to see what kind of options were out there.  And I was shocked to see the number of CUTE super inexpensive covers available.

18x18 Cotton Linen Throw Pillow Case $6.98 ea with Amazon Prime Shipping

18x18 Cotton Linen Throw Pillow Case $5.94 ea with Amazon Prime Shipping

There are hundreds of other options, but I thought these were the three cutest ones at this price point.  If you are in the mood for a new look, I highly recommend checking Amazon for a great deal.  And if you are not already an Amazon Prime member, follow this link for a 30 Day Free Trial.  So worth the money!

And here's what I decided to use in my living room....

I just fell in love with the feathers.  Such a cute and current design!
