scarfin' up some pillows


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'?

  6. Fab idea! I have so many scarves that belonged to my grandmother and I never wear them. A pillow would be perfect!

  7. I don't, but my grandmother's best friend had a huge Gucci scarf framed above her bed (the Flora design).

  8. Love 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?)

  9. What 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 :)
