Pillow Talk


Above, the way it used to be...16 pillows!

Last week I received 3 pillows from my pillow/curtain maker. Oh how I love pillows. In my opinion you can never have too many pillows. The other four members of my family do not agree. They don't like having to move all of the pillows to sit down. But I won't budge on this - pillows make the room for me. So we have lots of pillows in every room. Especially the master bedroom.

So, I came into my room the other night (that day I received the new pillows - one of them was for my bed) and my husband was sitting in our closet. I asked him what he was doing in there and he told me that he just couldn't deal with how many pillows were on our bed. Now, I think we have actually gone down in the number of pillows on our bed from a year ago (there might have been 16 at one point - see photo above). Currently there are 11. Anyway, here is the gorgeous new pillow made from Kelly Wearstler's fabric that I purchased from the Designer's Attic. Love it!!!


The way it is now, with added new pillow. (A few months ago I changed the matelasse coverlet to a quilt and also changed the European pillows to match the new quilt. I also switched out the cover on the comforter and added matching smaller pillows.)


The new pillow for my bed, Kelly Wearstler fabric, purchased here.

Speaking of the Designer's Attic, I purchased some Barbara Barry fabric back in the Spring and had it made into these 19" pillows below. Aren't they fun? They are for sale. Email me at hdraperyoung@gmail.com if you are interested. The inserts are down, and there is a zipper in the bottom of each pillow.






Do you have a pillow fetish?

House of the Week


This cozy house was once a hunting lodge. It's a favorite of the Architecture Tourist. It was renovated by Revival Construction within the last ten years - perfection!

My Other Blog - Redo2589



Although we started the Whitehaven blog in January of this year, I'm not new to blogging. I started blogging in 2007 when I was building my house. My husband set up a blog for us to journal the whole house building process. That blog is still active and I am now blogging over there about the house being built next door to me. You can visit that blog at Redo2589 or click on it on the blogroll on our sidebar. If you click on the Archives you can go back to July 2007 when we tore down our bungalow.

A Redo2589 Retrospective of our house process for some Friday fun!























(This was a Christmas bow on the house in Dec 2007).







Visit Redo2589 to see all of the details in between.

Have a great weekend everyone!

We're Loving ....Alabaster Lamps

We have been working on a mismatched pair of alabaster lamps for a client. They are probably from the 40's and were the client's mother's. We had them rewired and put on new shades and finials and they now sit proudly in the dining room on a pair of lucite pedestals. We don't have photos yet, but will soon. Meanwhile here are some images of alabaster lamps.
