Pillows and Paint

Well, you've got to start somewhere...right?  Why not with pillows and paint?  These pillows and this paint color (the vase) are the inspirations for my living room's new, cooler, softer color palette.  I realize that I have picked the worst time of the year to try and transition my living room from warm to cool, because trying to find "cool" accessories as fall is approaching feels a bit like looking for a bathing suit during the cooler months to take on a honeymoon in the islands.  (If I sound like I've had first hand experience with this...I do...flashback 11 years, ha.)  Anyways, after digging behind all of the cute orange, red and brown pillows...I found these beauties!  It was love at first sight!  They were exactly the colors and texture combinations I had in mind.  Now I know that it will feel totally "against the grain" here for some of you to mix these patterns and textures...but go ahead and get outside of that comfort zone!  It'll be fine and you'll thank yourself later for stepping out!  I got them home and loved them even more! (Insert funny guy husband here...he said..."Well, I like them all except for that 'Homecoming Corsage' one", ha!)  Good thing is, my husband and I have an agreement...he handles the outside of the house...I handle the inside!  So the corsage pillow stays :)

As far as the paint color goes, I don't even know the name of the color because I randomly got a 3.00 sample of this from the home improvement store one day trying to match it to some curtains I had. (Yes, HAD..and not HAVE...stick around and you'll see I'm a crazy buyer/returner!)  I'll just call the color "perfect" because I love the way it compliments the pillows.  This was once a green vase and I've had to just make myself not paint every.single.accessory in the room this color!  Is there a rule about how many accessories can be the same color...if so...don't tell me, please!
