New Pillow Covers

The H&M Home Store was a lot of fun!  So glad you enjoyed the tour.  Today I'm back to share a few of my purchases with you.

Before
I walked in looking for new pillows for my living room sofa.  

Immediately, these blue, velvet pillow covers caught my eye.  

After
The color is displaying different in this picture.

This picture shows their true color!

I purchased the mustard-colored geometric covers from H&M too.  I really liked the design.  The gray scalloped pillow is from West Elm.

I don't know about you, but I have a thing for tea towels.  $1 each!  They were practically free!

I like to display them in the kitchen or hang them over the oven door.


White with black stripes is such a classic design.

I wasn't sure what this was or how to use it?  So I asked a store associate and was told, it's a sponge!  Just need to let it soak in soapy-warm water and it'll be great for wiping spills.
   
Okay, why not!  It was cheap too.

I also grabbed some paper napkins.

I like to keep decorative napkins on hand.

They're a fun addition to my breakfast table setting.

I purchased a table runner for my dining room, but I can't seem to find it.  It was simple and gray.  I was really looking forward to using it.

What I enjoyed most about H&M is that everything was really inexpensive.  My purchases were cheap, so I didn't feel bad packing my suitcase with things I really didn't need!

    Dear Brandi, what a great shopper you are. Everything looks so pretty in your home. I am a huge fan of tea towels and your black and white ones are wonderful. I probably would have bought a dozen. They would be great for the basic to making personalized embroidered towels. Something I like to do for gift giving. Your home is absolutely lovely and your fresh flowers are so elegant . . . I should buy them more often, there is nothing quite so beautiful as fresh flowers.

    So pretty! And I can't believe the price on everything Brandi?! Love the blue velvet the most, so eye-popping! I scored a few online from H&M too and I just adore my marble pillow covers from there. :-)

    The after picture is awesome! Love the combo you put together. I ordered plain gray and white striped ones from there and was surprised by how nice the quality was (considering they were only $5.95!

    I don't think we have an H & M in Pennsylvania. At least I've never seen one, but I do love those pretty pillows on your couch. Your living room is decorated beautifully. Oh and save some French toast for me. I'll be right over... :)

    Hi Brandi, those blue pillows look beautiful with the gold and other tones. Your sofa looks so chic! I bought a few pillow covers from H&M before Christmas, they were cheap and really nice quality too. Now I'm forever stalking their site trying to find more lol.You got some really great things,love the tea towels. I hope you find your table runner. I bought one from there and I use it on the back of my white chair. Trying to avoid Soul Glow spots lol.

    You're as bad as I am when it comes to stocking up on beautiful things that are inexpensive Brandi...I love the way the pillows tuck themselves so nicely into the couch. It looks so inviting. Too bad about that table runner. I'm sure it will turn up. Fingers crossed...

    I'm delighted to know I am not alone when it comes to tea towels, lol...I love them too:)

    Thank you so much for sharing, Brandi...

    Dear Brandi, I love the blue pillow covers. They are so pretty and vibrant. I like the tea towels too. Paper they are perfect in the kitchen or at the table. Paper towels have become much too expensive.
    I think you will enjoy these purchases for a long while. Keep cozy, safe and warm. It is freezing here right now, the wind is howling as I type! I am looking forward to spring! xo Catherine

    Brandi, those blue velvet pillow cases are so pretty. They really add a pop of color to the couches. And French toast - Yummy! I haven't had that in awhile.

    Have a good weekend. It's supposed to rain here all weekend, and we sure need the rain.

    I love every single thing about this post - your space, the photos, everything. And now you make me wan to go to H&M. I've never seen that store so I've got to see where the closest ones are to me. Otherwise, I'll just live vicariously through your posts. Well done!

    p.s. Your guest post will be up this week. :-)
