As I mentioned earlier, I was on a quest to add some touches of blue to the living room. I found everything I wanted and was able to get it all without ever leaving the house and I didn't shop online. How did I do it, you ask? I used my personal shopper...aka my hubby. ;)
He was doing some shopping the other day and as soon as he left, I started googling pillow covers and decorative plates and before he knew it, I was texting him pics and item numbers of things to pick up for me. Lol!
It's a good thing he loves to shop. :)
I had him pick up these plates for the mantel at Pier 1 and four blue and white pillow covers at Hobby Lobby. I even texted him my Hobby Lobby coupon. He had to go to two stores to get all four pillow covers, which was kind of a good thing because then he got to use a coupon on two of them.
These pillow covers were only $6.99 before the coupon, (and only $4.19 after the coupon) and they have zippers.
The back is a plain cream color.
I love these pops of blue!
Here's a close up of the plates...
I purchased this pretty vase years ago at The Bombay Co. I loved that store and have many furniture pieces from them as well.
Ten points to the person who can spy Holly in the pic below. ;)
I'm so happy with my finds!
Having a neutral background sure makes it easy (and fun) to change up my decor with just a few pieces.
P.S. If you couldn't find her, Holly is sleeping on the back of the sofa in the pic. It's her happy place. :)
I am impressed!! First that you did it all online and second that your hubby did the shopping. The blue looks amazing in your house.
ReplyDeleteLisa, You did so well on your pops of blue. Give your sweet husband a big mommy hug from me. That was so kind of him to help you. I love those covers(zippers, wow). Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteThe blue Looks great in there!! Great deals with the coupons too!
ReplyDeleteThe pops of blue look so good! And awesome buys too! Looks as if Miss Holly has a great vantage point! Kuddos to your hubby for being such a great shopper!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks amazing and I think you get the award for most awesome shopping hubby!! Two stores and a coupon? He's a keeper. Love Holly's perch. I knew right where to look. That's always a kitty cat favorite!!
ReplyDeleteWow your hubby is a keeper. That is pretty wonderful of him to go to four Hobby Lobby's to get your pillows. Awesome. Your blue additions are gorgeous. Holly is exhausted after all that shopping your hubby did for you lol! Have a great new week ahead.

I love the touches of blue in your living room! You got a great deal on everything too! What a sweet husband you have....good thing he likes to shop :o) Holly is so cute...our dogs like to snooze on the back of the sofa too!

I love your new pillows and plates! You are lucky to have a husband that will go shopping for home accessories for you. My husband would not do that, I'm sure! He would say, you want me to do what? Ha! Your pillows are beautiful. They look expensive. I can't believe how little you paid for them. I love the blue and white mixed with your neutrals. It's just enough color.
ReplyDeleteI love the perfect touches of blue, Lisa. It's so cool that your hubby did the shopping---no shipping costs! Pier 1 is having huge sales now, I guess to start making room for their big spring/summer collection. I'd love to go but it's freezing here! Love the plates, I didn't know HL had pillow covers. By the fabric? Love that Holly!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Week!

It took me a while to find Holly but I found her lol!! She sure knows a thing or two about relaxing!
ReplyDeleteI cannot get over how gorgeous those pillow covers are! The pops of blue are perfect for your space and I'm loving the idea of a neutral backdrop to change things up :)
The Bombay company was one of my favorite stores too; it's where we started getting our decor items when we first got married. Too bad they're not around anymore :(
Happy rest of the week to you my friend!
I love the blue you added.. SO pretty.. and Great finds.. I really like how well your shopping buddy did for you.. The pillow covers go so well, with the plates and vase.. Great job.. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI saw Holly immediately! :) Think I've seen her do that before. I had one dog and my daughter has had 2 that loved to sleep like that. They seemed to love high places. Love, love your blue!! I'm shocked that your husband did the shopping ~ most men would not. Great job!! I loved Bombay too ~ always found some amazing things and not expensive.

Pretty!!! I love that color blue in your living room. It pops nicely with all of your other decor. Pretty plate, everything looks so nice!
ReplyDeleteWhere are the pillow covers in Hobby Lobby?
ReplyDeleteI really like your touches of blue, but I'm totally amazed that your hubby went shopping for home decor....keep him and pamper him! It's funny when you mention in a previous post that you were thinking of adding some blue, because I had been thinking the same thing. When I started going through my pillow covers, I found two that were predominantly orange but had some navy blue diamond shapes, too. I still want my turquoise, but I know I've seen pillow forms or fabric that combines turquoise and navy. BTW, I have those same HobLob forms, but mine are turquoise...I actually dressed them up with some Christmas ribbon and used them in my holiday decor. When I squinted, the design could pass for snowflakes....well, that was in my chemo-infused brain anyway!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to ask if you follow Cassie at http://www.hisugarplumsblog.com? She is just adorable, does a lot of fashion stuff, and this girl is not afraid of using color! You have to check out her living room! She has really opened my eyes to using colors and color-combos that I would never have thought to try. She and her hubby just finished a kitchen remodel, and the tile backsplash blew me away and then I saw it used on a recent episode of Fixer Upper. Anyway, if you don't already follow her, you should at least take a look. Cassie really has a handle on making life fun!
What kind of weather are you having? We've been in the 60's & 70's here, but our son and family are in the D.C. area under blizzard conditions! Hope you have a great weekend!
Warm hugs,
Carol

ReplyDeleteLisa, you should be happy with your pretty blue finds. A touch of blue is always a good idea in my mind. Love the fabric on the pillow covers. I miss Bombay Company.

You're very welcome, Laura! I can't believe it took me so long to decorate with blue and white! I'm loving it! Great minds think alike. ;)
DeleteYour husband is a keeper! I absolutely adore those pillow covers and believe I need to make a trip to Hobby Lobby stat!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura! I was so excited when I found out Hobby Lobby carried those inexpensive pillow covers! Such a good deal (especially when combined with a coupon) :)
DeleteI wish we had Hobby Lobby where I live! Great pillow covers. I have been loving adding a bit of blue around my house too, especially navy.
