I am on a manhunt for the perfect striped pillows for our new couch or bed. Ever since I saw the gray and white striped pillows on Decor Pad, I can’t get them out of my head. These glorious (and elusive) pillows are haunting me in my dreams: *photo via I scoured Google and found […]
Whether it’s on display at a picnic via the tablecloth or splattered across your bathing suit, nothing says summer like gingham prints .
