Decorative Days and Sweet-Scented Nights
Pillow acquisitions are not always appreciated by the male of the species, but the aspiring designer in every woman knows how a simple switch of pillows can reinvent an entire room. I have dozens: standard sleeping pillows, square throw pillows, Euro sham-covered pillows, boudoir pillows, floor pillows, cushions, rests, stops. Pillows give us a quick, effortless and relatively inexpensive method of altering the atmosphere of any room instantly. I switch pillows as frequently as I switch flowers and handbags. Why not? For a dressy champagne party I stow my green silk in favor of the black and silver glitter, and for seasonal changes, such as from summer to fall, I put away the organic linen and cozy up with the chocolate velvet.
Recently, I found these numbers from Michaela Scherrer: the most beguiling, delicate, sweet-smelling (filled with lavender), unpretentious and eco-friendly (vintage French linen) pillows. This L.A. based designer fuses her Zen-like sensibilities with a genuine environmental consciousness. For non-vegans, she’s given us a quality selection of leather muslin cases to choose from – in soft shades of rose, green, grey and even brown, intricately etched, with or without glitter or a pattern. Irresistible.

That Root of the Earth Bowl will make a very pretty centerpiece on the cocktail table in my sitting room. It will surely highlight the room giving it a real sense of harmony with nature and advocacy to environment preservations!
I am in the process of re-stuffing some older pillows, as to re-use the fabric that I like, as opposed to buying all new ones. I might just have to add some lavender to the new stuffing!
I recently added pillows in different solid colours to highlight the tones in the rug in my otherwise neutral family room. It never occurred to me, until now, that I could evoke moods in different parts of the room using different scents. I would probably reserve these peaceful lavender scented pillows for my bedroom, but would love to find them in bolder colours and scents for other rooms.
Hi Shelly, I’ll check it out for you!
Is it OK if we email you?
What a delicious and environmentally-friendly way to highlight a piece of furniture…namely a bed!
Still checking in looking for “Young Buddha” to reappear. It was a white Buddha head on a black marble base. I was told it might be available for 2007 Holidays but I never saw it. Any chance it will be available again??
Omigosh! A lavender-scented pillow would be the highlight of my bedtime routine!
