And Kirklands.com sells cute lamps that aren't too expensive. Not sure if the shipping would kill you though?

I would go with a bright red that is different from the wall color. It would really pop with all of those warm earthy tones! Then echo that bright color with one small decorative object either on a side table or on the mantle.<br /><br />You did great with those wall hangings, they are fabulous!

Also - round pillows would add interest since sofa cushions and wall hangings are square. Good Luck!

I like the look of burlap, but it's scratchy and not likely to be very comfortable...French linens are hard to find and expensive...so I personally would do thaisilks.com for luxurious, less-expensive, and substantial fabric like this - http://www.thaisilks.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_22&products_id=291 - you would only need a yard or so for two big pillows). I'd do an envelope style pillow cover because it requires no closures, no fancy stitching, and keeps the pillow 100% covered.<br /><br />For the lamp, could you just cover a regular shade with spray adhesive and burlap? I don't know...would that be dangerous? I feel like I've seen others do it. And then spray paint mismatched Goodwill lamp bases or wrap them in jute. Maybe that would get too monochromatic. Looks like you've got good taste, though!

I wonder if you could get something like that at Home Depot and make it yourself? PROJECT!I like Pottery Barn pillows, the down ones. They are so comfy. My husband told me,"No more uncomfortable pillows!"They are a little pricey but worth it because you can keep the inserts and they come out with new covers every season so you can change them out if you want. I wait until they're on sale at the end of the season when they bring new styles in. Thanks for following me. I'm joining your blog too. I know what it's like to be new.

It's perfect there. I love the creamy throw you have draped on the sofa as well. I would recommend some burlap pillows with writing on them for your sofa. I think it would fit in nicely with the leather. My favorite source for pillows is Etsy.com. I would type in what you're searching for and see what comes up. You can also try Ebay.com and Decorators Collection.com.
