For those of you out there who do not know me, I am a Pottery Barn fanatic! I love just about everything in that place....except for the prices...Eeek! a little too pricey for my pocket.
However if you keep an eye on the clearance section there are definitely some bargains to be had, take for instance these lovely place-mats.
I snagged these bad boys for $3.99 and $4.79 they were at least 1/2 off the original price =) while I'm sure they work very well as place-mats....
I have brought them home under a very different pretense. (sneaky..sneaky..)
See the thing I love so much about Pottery Barn is how well they coordinate everything, the place-mats match the napkins, which match the pillows, that match the curtains, that go with the bedding....
Wait a minute....did I say the place-mats match the napkins, which match the pillows?
Genius Idea!!!! Another reason I love Pottery Barn, they have quality stuff... no rinky dink one sided place-mats, nope...all of their place-mats are lined *Ahhhhhh.....(insert angelic sound here).
So turning a place-mat into a pillow is easy as pie.
All you need is a place-mat, pillow stuffing, a stitch picker, and some thread that at least kinda matches, and a sewing needle.
Un stitch a small portion at the end of the place-mat with the stitch picker just big enough to stick your hand in, stuff it full of pillow stuffing, then re sew it closed.
Voila!!

Now you have a brand new pillow in one of the fantastic prints offered at Pottery Barn for around $7-$10.00 What a Steal!!!
