Sometimes it’s like Christmas around here.
And once in a while, when that doorbell rings, the Fed Ex guy outdoes himself. Like he did this time.
He hooked me up with a product that’s out-of-this-world awesome. I think I’m in love.
Have you ever come across something that is just a dynamite idea? Such a great concept that you wish you had thought of it??
Remember this post on my stenciled curtains? Well, I really got bit by the stencil bug!
Create a One-of-a-Kind Designer Pillow
I am still working on the master bedroom makeover, and I wanted to bring some pattern into a few throw pillows for the new bedding. I needed a contrast to the more traditional pattern on the curtains, so I was looking for something a bit more modern, a one-of-a-kind designer pillow, and I discovered this wonderful idea!
Paint-A-Pillow is a complete pillow stenciling kit: it comes with the stencil, pillow cover, pillow insert and everything you need to stencil a gorgeous accent pillow! This is the box that arrived at my door: I couldn’t wait to open it and see what was inside!
*A big thank-you to Paint-A-Pillow for providing me with the pillow stencil kit and supplies for this project. All written content expressed in the article is – as always – my own.*
Everything I needed to make a gorgeous pillow was inside: the stencil, one jar of paint, the pillow insert and the pillow cover – plus the tools to make it happen.
They made it sooo easy! They even have an awesome how-to video on their website that shows exactly how to make your pillow:
The video is so much fun to watch that I watched it several times. I’m totally charmed by Janna’s lovely accent! I even set it up on my iPad while I worked:
Here is the final product, against our new bedding:
And you know how I love to move things around… this pillow looks equally at home in a chair in our family room!
I did receive the kit and materials to make this pillow in return for telling you about it, but y’all – this is totally something I would buy on my own! As a designer in the retail high-end furniture biz, I sold many a decorator throw pillow for $150 and up. The kit is about $45, and in addition to the supplies to make one pillow, you get a large stencil that can be used over and over again! And if you want to make multiples from the same stencil, you can buy additional pillow covers and/or inserts. The pillows close with a high-quality invisible zipper, too, so the finished product is very well made!
Go ahead and pin this photo so you can remember the name of the pillow kit!
Paint-A-Pillow is a great way to add designer touches to your home at a great price. Be sure to visit their website to take a look at all the gorgeous designs for these fun and beautiful pillows!
Have a wonderful DIY day!
