Welcome Back! Today my living room is the scene of a bit of an oddity, the unsittably pillowed chair!
I'm sure many of you reading today have a pillow problem as well. It's not that I necessarily buy or make too many (OK, Chris may disagree here), it's just that once I get the right pillow in the right spot, it. is. staying.
That's gold, people! Such a rare thing to encounter. I feel like my pillows never look quite right. They look wrong, even.
But this thing we have going on here, it doesn't just look wrong, it is wrong. From a functional perspective.
This is what guests see when they come to my home:
How rude.
I've even tried to perch my butt on the edge, only to give up and just sit on the floor.
And yet, there the pillows stayed.
I didn't put them there on purpose, things just sort of happened. They were moved there to clear space elsewhere, all at separate times, and serendipity took over.
Am I about to cross serendipity?
So there they are. All three of them.
Maybe I'll just bring in another chair to go beside it.
And maybe just one little pillow for that one. Or even a throw.
It's a slippery slope.

That is a common problem I think, Courtenay. Your pillows are so pretty together, I can see why you want to keep them there. I have pillow madness, too. When people come over I just tell them to squish, prop, or throw, whatever they feel most comfortable with! xx
My guests must be too comfortable here because the pillows often end up on the floor ;)
I wish Ryan wasn't so opposed to couch pillow's. I like them! We even just got some nice ones as a presant but he says he hates them :( Oh well. Pick I pick my battles.
My dad always says if the chair has pillows on it, then you're not supposed to sit on it. I guess that's old school thinking, I just move them over!
Um, can I have your living room?!
My pillows never... ever... stay on the couch. If they do it's because the kiddo has gone to bed and the dogs are curled up on my bed. Good luck with blankets staying put either.
Someday I'll have little tiny lap dogs who don't throw blankets around and curl up on pillows instead of kicking them off so they can lay... as if there wasn't enough room on the other 3/4 of the couch.
It's a great look! It has to stay, it's the law. LOL!
so funny and true! but I love my pillows.

I'll do that. Get all excited about a pillow combination. Then realize there's no room left to sit! But since I live alone, I can "pillow" up one chair and leave the other one to sit in!

Ha! I have that problem on a bunch of chairs in my home. The bad thing is that my kids just throw the pillows on the floor now. Your pillows are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing at DIYbyDesign.
I have a pillow problem too! I love your trio of pillows. I say, lets sit on the floor!!!!
LOL!!! You are so funny!
A home is not a home without a piano, OR LOTS of pillows.
I'm just saying....
Well written ~ love the wry style. And the pillow styling, too!
