While my house was on the market I occupied myself with buying things for the "new place." When the "new place" went to someone else, and I took my house off the market, I was left to deal with those purchases.
One of those forward thinking buys were these two pillows. I LOVE these pillows. (Thank you Home Goods.)
The problem is, I have "NO WHERE" to use them in this house. I thought they would make a nice accent in the living room. They are perfect for these chairs.
They tie in nicely with the pinks in the dining room.
However, the living room took on a life of it's own as projects like this do. And pink accents were just not happening.
I found this fabric at one of my favorite local fabric stores.
If the opportunity arises and I want these pillows back to pink----it's just a matter of changing the cover.
For now they are the perfect back support for these chairs. By the way, I did a post on these chairs quite some time ago. I am still contemplating their fate. I am thinking of painting the frames and living with the fabric.
I know they would be GORGEOUS reupholstered in a fabulous new fabric but I also know what it would cost to have this done. So for now, I say, when you can't buy a new outfit it helps to buy a new lipstick.
These new pillows are the lip gloss for old upholstery.

My solution---use the cushy inserts and cover them with something else.
