Decorating with Pitchers
There are some things in this world that just don’t make a lot of sense.
My affinity for pitchers is one of them.
I should correct myself and say that to me, my love for them makes perfect sense. They’re cute and functional. And they’re cute. (I know I repeated myself, but it’s worth repeating.) Beyond that, I’m not really sure why they make my heart go pitter-pat. They just do.
I don’t really discriminate, I like them in colors or just plain white. I also like glass pitchers. They can be old or new. It really doesn’t matter. When I see a cute one, I would like to bring it home to live with me. And, trust me, I’ve left more pitchers at the store than I have purchased simply because there is only so much room. And money.
Some people think pitchers are just for holding drinks, but I think they can be so much more. I have my small collection scattered about my house and I use them in many ways.

I Have a Thing for Quilts
There is just something about a quilt that is just so darned cozy.
Of course, my fave, Sarah Richardson really knows how to use a vintage quilt in a stunning way.
And, Kelly at the Polished Pebble, has such a rustic flair with her antique quilts:
Holly Mathis adds such cozy, rustic comfort to her boys’ room with solid Pottery Barn quilts:
I love, love, love them! I don’t have a collection of vintage quilts but I would like to someday. The price tag usually chases me off and the fact that I don’t know where I would put them right now! I would love a little armoire full of an antique quilt — or any quilt — collection. So fun!
I have quilts/coverlets in each of my bedrooms. None of them are old or vintage. Each one reflects the style of it’s inhabitant.
My daughter, who is 7, likes bright, vibrant colors and would have bright teal walls in her room if I let her! This circle quilt is from PB Teen. (Excuse the masculine headboard…I’m on the hunt for something girlier.)
My son, likes blues and reds. These blue quilted coverlets were on clearance at Dillard’s a few years back and there were two of them — score!
Finally, our master bedroom has the dark browns that my husband prefers because I didn’t want to get too frilly in here for his taste. I found this quilted coverlet at Overstock for less than 50 bucks…awesome when you consider the cost for bedding for a king-sized bed!
Kitty likes it too! 
If I had a guest room — or better yet, a lake house — it would definitely have brightly colored quilts and would have the feeling of this room from The Lettered Cottage:
I love that little embroidered pillow from IKEA. I look at it every time I’m there and wonder where I could put it in my home. I also have this quilted pillow sham from Pottery Barn just waiting for a home:
I never bought the quilt because I didn’t know where to put it. Now it’s discontinued and I’m kicking myself! But, at least I have the sham for a future bed someday. I just love all these colors and the fabrics used.
Do you have a collection of something you love in your home?
