Pillow Drama

Ok, faithful readers, I need your help deciding which pillow combination to go with on my sofa in the den. I have desperately been wanting to add some pink accents in my house. Well, I found some pink pillows at Tuesday Mornings of all places. I mean that place is seriously creepy and I did feel like I needed to take a shower after I left there, but they did have some decent rugs and pillows. I think this pink might be too bright in my den. I was looking for more of a peony/honeysuckle pink but for the price ($19.99) I thought I had to try these out (and they are returnable). I have taken pictures of the 4 different combos of pillows for my den. Take a look and vote for your favorite or please give me a suggestion for a different pillow to add to the mix! Thanks girls! xoxo

COMBO ONE: LEOPARD NEEDLEPOINT + HOT PINK

COMBO TWO: LEOPARD NEEDLEPOINT + SOLID GREEN

COMBO THREE: CHOCOLATE BROWN GEOMETRIC + MONOGRAM "M"

COMBO FOUR: LEOPARD NEEDLEPOINT + MONOGRAM "M"

Thoughts? After looking at these pictures I am not sure I love the pink. Curious what ya'll think.

Alex {Things That Sparkle} said...: Pink and leopard are two of my absolute favorite things, so my first instinct is that one. But I see what you're saying about the pink not being quite right, so I think the 4th option is a great alternative!

PS thanks so much for your sweet comment, it made my day!; February 10, 2011 at 5:43 AM
Kathy Robey said...: I love all things green, pink, leopard & monogrammed. So many great options. I think a pop of color is always ok ;); February 10, 2011 at 5:46 AM

Aubrey {All Things Bright and Beautiful} said...: Hmmm...that is a toughie! I'm always going to go for bright...I totally love the pink! I think you may be right, though, about it needing to perhaps be a bit more toned down...but hey, I think I would still rock it! (c:; February 10, 2011 at 6:33 AM
The Southland Life said...: im as traditional as they come, and i still looove the pink. such a bold punch of color. a close runner up is the monogram and the chocolate geometric - good gracious, i love a monogram! maybe you could use the pink for spring/summer, then rotate to a more toned down combo for fall/winter. xx.; February 10, 2011 at 6:41 AM
GiGi said...: i love the leopard/pink combo, as well as the leopard monogrammed combo....if you aren't sure about the pink pillows, maybe you could find a lacquered pink tray for the coffee table?; February 10, 2011 at 7:17 AM
Balancing Lisa said...: I like the first 2, but honestly the hot pink is my favorite! Great finds!!!

Nicole said...: I love the monogram pillows - but I'm a sucker for anything monogrammed - and I just love the look of them! My vote is for the monogram/brown geometric combo, but to add a punch of pink (which I also love) I'm with GiGi above - a lacquered pink tray would be P.E.R.F.E.C.T under your glass vase w/ the apples!!; February 10, 2011 at 7:58 AM
Christina said...: pink!!! combo 1. it really makes it pop.; February 10, 2011 at 8:31 AM

Michelle @ Ten June said...: Cassie hit the nail on the head! That's exactly what I was going to suggest. I love the pink/leopard but you could "sophisticate" it up a bit with one monogrammed pillow. Ohh yeah. That will be cute! Let us know when you try taht combo!; February 11, 2011 at 8:54 AM
