Christmas came a little early for me...

I have been in the process of decorating my living room over the last year or so, and while I'm sorry for not providing many status updates, please note that it has been a very slow process since I have been taking my time and not rushing through things like I normally do.  I wanted to wait until I had made more progress before I revealed anything, but I couldn't resist since I made some exciting progress today with the help of someone special over at Plum Cushion.   

After seeing Melanie's work in the home of Nicole Cohen, editor of Sketch 42 blog, I knew I had to have her make all of my custom pillows.  Our most recent project just arrived at my door step today and came straight out the box in time for the holiday's. 

Check out these matching beauties Melanie made sitting on top of my chairs.  She also made the custom brown cushions for my vintage chairs (a previous eBay find).

These fabulous pillows, in the famous La Fiorentina print, also arrived today shown above on my sofa.  And in case you are wondering, she also made the long yellow rectangle pillow using leftover fabric from my draperies. 

What excited me more than my lovely pillows, is the fact that she used my leftover Schumacher fabric to make Christmas stockings for me.  When I received them in the mail I screamed like a little girl. I am so thrilled with the personalized service I have received from her.  Thank you Mel! 

PS-  I promise to show more pics of my apartment in the near future.  I have some major purchases to make over the next month, which includes brass hardware for my custom curtains, a new dining set and a new area rug.  I can't wait to show more with you all.
