Goldilocks and the Three Pillows
January 29, 2007
The third floor of our house is one big room that is currently used as a playroom/guest room. One of my favorite parts of this room is the large window seat. I have always thought it would be the perfect place to lay down, read and take a little nap. It just never happens, though. It's just too big, actually too deep. I have tried, but I just can't get cozy enough to drift off to dreamland.
While trashing out the sewing room, I found two 14"x36" pillows that I had bought, but had forgotten about. The closet is small and they were taking up valuable real estate, but I couldn't see them due to the mess. Then there was the bolt of extra fabric leftover from the window seat cushion...light bulb! I got out the scissors and got to work. An hour later...pillows!
I plopped them on the seat, arranged the throw pillows and took it for a test drive. Better, but not just right - two won't cut it, it really needs three. Back to the sewing machine I went. Now the third cover is ready, just waiting for the insert to arrive.
Kate likes it, too. Now if she'd just take a nap....
Your not kidding. That looks like the perfect place to read, take a nap, or just look up at the sky. Beautiful!

Oh, Erin! I could totally crash in that spot. Does the sun shine in on you? Mmmmmm...

Dreamy!!
I love the other cushions too. The four with the branches. I'd love to see those closer.

This little nook is to-die-for! If it was mine, I'm not sure I'd ever get my arse up out of it.

Oh, gosh, what a spot! Your pillows make it look so inviting - surely Kate could doze off there...
