Small Changes

So I continue to make small changes in an effort to fall back into love with my home. I have a lot of faith in small changes making a big difference in my life, and this week I am making small changes in the living room.

For minimal effort and expense I just finished off this stack of simple knife edge pillows featuring a variety of IKEA fabrics. 

My hope was that the addition of these pillows would modernize the living room and contribute to the materials available for fort building. So far, they have done both jobs well, withstanding a first round of fort design, contruction, and destruction all the while looking mod and fresh.

In addition to the pillows I played with a new arrangement of the crocheted stones that happliy clutter our mantle. I made these stones last summer after becoming enthralled by Margaret Ooman's crochet covered sea stones over at Purl, and I still love to look at them. 

 

 So there you have it: fabric + yarn + rocks = house love. At least in my world it does.
