Ever So Clever, Ever So Pretty Friday, #4 {House Number Pillow}

Happy Friday everyone!

Today, I did an “easy peasy” creation that I took inspiration from the gals at 11 Magnolia Lane.

It is from a Christy’s front porch when she featured her home tour.

I do eventually want to do exactly what she did, but with some time constraints I did a similar version for today.

I bought a pillow from HomeGoods, and some house numbers from Lowe’s Home Improvement.

The numbers are secured by the small nails that were provided and hot glue.

Easy peasy!!!

I think this method is a great quick decorating project…with my busy week, this fit the bill!

However, when there is more time, you can make those wonderful pillows and stencil the numbers as Christy did.

This project cost about $16.00…

Hope you enjoyed my “easy peasy” project, inspired by the gals at 11 Magnolia Lane.

    Congratulations! That is really an honor! PB is a tablescaper’s dream!!!!!!!

    LOVE the pillow! These dinky little Midwestern “porches” (really…a lot of nerve to even call them that!) don’t have enough space for a settee or chair of any kind, but you have given me a great idea just the same.

    Happy Easter to you and your family!

    My friend if I felt better I would be doing cartwheels WITH you. That is wonderful news and I am soooo happy that you are getting some exposure for your beautiful work. I actually LOVE your idea of adding the numbers to the pillow. What a fabulous idea. And I adore that lime pillow. With or without the numbers its a beauty.

    Love your little helper. ๐Ÿ™‚ Is that a pic in your booth? xxoo

    I love the pillow just the way it is. I bet you could stitch the letters onto the pillow, through the holes where the nails go. Congrats on the PB feature- wow! I’ll need to see a video of the cartwheels now. ๐Ÿ˜‰
