Toss Cushion Test
A couple weeks ago I was the lucky winner of an All Modern giveaway, courtesy of Kristi from Life at the Chateau Whitman. Thanks to All Modern for the opportunity and Kristi for randomly picking me! I could have anything I wanted up to $45, so I chose the Zinnia pillow in brown, and check out this cutie:
This pillow is very well made, stylish, and the insert it came with is actual down feathers...it is cushy, smushy goodness. Plus, I can use it in my bedroom, guest room, dining room (well, if I wanted a big throw pillow on a dining chair) or living room. I guess that means I passed Maria Killam's Toss Cushion Test on her fabulous blog that I scour daily, Colour Me Happy. I also could use the other pillows on my couch in the connected dining room with no problem. Do you use similar color palettes throughout your connected rooms? Would you pass the 'Toss Cushion 'test in your home?

OMG I won one at Small & Chic in C'ville and I got the Zinnia pillow in black! Great minds think alike!
ReplyDeleteI love that pillow - it goes so well with that rug!
ReplyDeleteI love that pillow - it goes so well with that rug!
ReplyDeleteLove your pillow choice! Our couch (finally!) arrives this weekend and I must get on with the pillow search :)
ReplyDeleteGreat choice, the pillow looks fab on your couch! I think most of my pillows could pass The Test.
ReplyDeleteI like your choice. The colors in that room make me happy... I'll have to remember that as we work on our guest room later this year.
ReplyDeleteOMG I love the orange and turquoise on that sofa!! And thanks so much for the mention :)

Amazing color scheme! love the pillow! Where is your rug from again Sara?
ReplyDeleteLove the pillow! I do use simular colors in my house....
ReplyDeleteAnon - the rug is discontinued from Pottery Barn, there are still some on ebay I believe!
ReplyDeleteThis post couldn't come at a more perfect time. First off, I'm trying to find the perfect pillows for our couch and second of all, because my husband and I have been discussing home colors. We were saying how bad it is when you walk into the rooms in a house and go, "oh, that's green" and "oh, that's red," and "oh, that's blue." Instead of the house flowing, the colors segregate the rooms. We're paranoid that our house feels that way, so I will definitely be doing the test!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the best resources for pillows? I love fun patterns and so far have been searching HomeGoods, Target and Overstock. Any suggestions?
Sara, it's "palettes". Love, love LOVE your blog, but hate typos! :o)
ReplyDeleteYay, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteWell, you caught me typing too fast for my brain, anonymous! I can't believe I didn't notice that. I will get that corrected right away because I hate typos, too!
ReplyDeleteMeg - when I want them cheap, I hit up TJ Maxx, Homegoods, and I've had good luck finding solid pillows at Burlington Coat Factory. When I want the perfect one and don't mind paying more, I will scour Etsy, Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, West Elm and of course All Modern! tonicliving.com also has outrageous patterns in ready-made pillows. I love that site!
I love, love that lamp beside your couch. Where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteLove the pillow! And I had never heard of the "throw pillow test" but it is brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAshley, the lamp is from Pier 1 but it hasn't been available in our store for quite a while.
ReplyDeleteGood dispatch and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you seeking your information.
ReplyDeleteEasily I acquiesce in but I think the collection should acquire more info then it has.
