Handmade pillows to make you smile.
With a new couch on the way (yippee!) I'm preparing to say goodbye to the saggy, dog-scented, claw-worn monstrosity. It's easy. Trust me.

One of the fun things: Shopping for new throw pillows.

I'm thinking with a red TV and entertainment console and the charcoal couch, a few pop-y touches of yellow will be perfect. So when I saw these handmade pillows, well, I smiled. The smile pillow from honeypiedesigns totally makes me do just that. Other designs feature words like love, relax, or home, but I really am thinking smile + yellow is the perfect combo. There's also a custom pillow option, in case you've got a particular word in mind. My old couch would have chosen smelly. -Liz
