"Pin" spired pillows

I have a disease.  
It's called "I bore easily itis". 
This is why I can't do any project that takes more than a day or two to finish.
I get tired of it too quickly.

Same goes with my house.  
I have found that I get tired of colors rather quickly.
I usually like to stick with neutral colors for big things,
like furniture and paint colors so I can easily change out the accessories.

I recently went all out and painted my kitchen and dining room blue.
I know.
I wonder how long it will be before I get tired of it?

But, then the red accents in the living room didn't match.
Plus, I'm tired of brown, and my Pinterest addiction has introduced me
to the world of black and white so I went with it.

First up... new curtains.  
I loved the stripes, but the dark brown on light brown just wasn't doing it for me.
 And that meant I had to have new pillows, too.
These came from here and here.
It was one of these two pillows that killed my sewing machine.
 So the super cute, adorable, sweet, fantastic husband
bought me a new one because the old one was going to cost me more to fix than it was worth.
No more cheap "Brother".  
This time I went with a "Husqvarna Viking".
I like it.  A lot.
It sewed this pillow which I found here.  
The only problem with these super cute pillows are the children.
They aren't allowed to go near them.
So the ugly brown ones are tucked in the corner just in case they need a pillow.

Now I just need different couches and some new carpet or maybe hardwood floors
to go with my beautiful blue walls and cute black and white pillows.  
Although by then, I will probably be tired of black and white.  
In the meantime, I need to stay away from the fabric store!
