I found some silk Missoni scarves on sale at The Nordstrom Rack with the thought of one day making them into throw pillows. I figured it would be a fun and creative way to add some "art" to the furniture arrangement in my Living Room and provide an elegant "pop of color" to the room.
I purchased 5 small silk squares and one long rectangular scarf which my seamstress turned into a pair of bolsters. I made a trip into San Francisco to Britex Fabrics where I chose several complementary Dupioni silk fabrics to use as backing for the pillows.
I was thrilled with the result...
(I found the fireplace in Paris and the coffee table at The Salvation Army)
... the room came alive!
