One of my dear friends pointed out the other day that I am always sportin' a scarf. While part of me feels like they make me feel more secure about myself (actually, it's really just full-on hiding, if I'm being truthful), scarves can enhance just about anything.
We've seen them framed. And patchworked. And tied around lamp necks. And who doesn't love a good vintage Hermes or Vera find!
My mom had a scarf from her teen years that I loved to steal. When she finally gifted it to me, I had to make it a permanent fixture in my house. So what better way than to have your workroom turn it into a bolster. And there it sits on my bed every day, reminding me that the sentimental things in decor always look the best!
I got so jazzed about it, that I had to do the same with an old silk J.Crew scarf that I never ever wore but always liked to look at. I was afraid to get neck sweat on it. Alot of good it did me refraining from wearing it because now it can just collect head sweat!
I may need to cool it with the scarf pillows for a while now.
Do you have any 'scarf decor'?
I don't, but I think I need to!! Love your bolster!
ReplyDeleteI haven't done this, and I don't think I own any scarfs. I love how it looks.
ReplyDeleteI don't but am always on the look out for a nice vintage scarf. Love yours!
ReplyDeleteBethany...that's a great idea...you are so creative!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did Bethany!!! I got a lovely Lanvin scarf last Valentine that I would love to frame and display, however, I want to wear it first then decorate with it! hahaha!
ReplyDeleteFab idea! I have so many scarves that belonged to my grandmother and I never wear them. A pillow would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI don't, but my grandmother's best friend had a huge Gucci scarf framed above her bed (the Flora design).
ReplyDeleteVery clever....love the look :)
ReplyDeleteLove your scarf pillows! What a cool idea! I am sentimental and adore surrounding myself with valued items from loved ones. (Do you wear scarves in the summer? Gets pretty hot in Bethesda, no?)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea, Bethany! Very creative. I come across beautiful vintage women's scarves at flea markets and vintage clothing stores all the time. Might need to make a few pillows for the shop :)
