My mom and I were out fabric shopping a couple weekends ago when I came across this lovely cotton print at Joann’s. It had a great hand-painted feel to it and immediately grabbed my attention since it was basically our living room color scheme in fabric form.
I picked up a yard of the fabric for $6 and whipped up a quick pillow for our high-backed living room chair.
This side of the room has been feeling a little flat ever since we took down our Christmas decor, so this pillow was a great inexpensive way to add some pizzaz. By the way, isn’t that peacock pillow an attention hog? It shows up everywhere! 
For the new square pillow, I just sewed an envelope-style pillow cover for a down pillow form I already had. Want to make your own? Here’s a quick and easy tutorial (from a loooong time ago).
Hope you like our newest living room addition! In other news, I survived my first day back to school yesterday and then showed three houses afterwards. Whew! Wish me luck on day two today. 
that fabric is SO you! it’s perfect!
OK, I was at a local furniture store the other day with my sister and I audibly gasped when I saw they carried your peacock pillow. Of course, she asked me what I’d found, and all I could do was hold up the pillow and say “It’s the Heardmont!” This tells me A) I will forever associate that pillow with you and your blog, and B) I really need to work on my social/communication skills. And C) I have named the pillow, “The Heardmont”. You’re welcome
New pillow looks great too, btw
Cheers,
Emily
Great new pillow Meredith! I love the colors and the price for that fabric was awesome. Congrats on making it through your first day of school and still going out and showing houses! You’re a rock star. =)
Love the new pillow! The two fabrics work so nicely together
Great pillow! And you can’t beat that price! Love that peacock pillow!
