Feathering My Nest: Pillow Shams

I'm not much of a decorator but even I get to the point sometime where I just need to do a little sprucing up around the place. A little feathering of my nest, so to speak.

We've had extra pillows on our bed for a while now, but no shams. Our bedspread is white chenille so it could use some color!

Instead of continuing to wait until I found the perfect fabric, I went through my stash and picked out a blue rose print that would look good with both the white chenille and the pale blue walls.

One evening last week, I sat down and sewed the fabric into shams. Even though these aren't perfect, I really like the pop of color and the cottage-feel they bring to the room.

What kinds of small improvements have you made on the appearance of your home lately?
