A Great Basic

My sister was visiting this weekend, and she asked where I picked up one of my favorite pillows. This apple green velvet monogrammed number:

I told her I ordered it from Ballard Designs, and I thought I should share that here too because I think these pillows are some of the best buys you can get for your home. I call them "filler pillows" because they are the kind of pillows you can move from room to room and pattern to pattern to use as inexpensive (but nice) back up dancers.

The pillows range from $20-$35, depending on the fabric you choose, but that includes a very nice pillow insert and free monogramming, so I think it's a great deal. The velvet pillows are my favorite - I have two chocolate velvet ones in addition to the green one. I also have a pair of the quilted off-white pillows, and I must say that I bought all five pillows years ago and I still love them.

So there you have it - what I consider a great basic. One of the LBDs of home decoration. Order yours here.
