Orange burlap no sew pillow

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: May 19, 2010 · Modified: Dec 10, 2014

Ok I am starting to get crazy over here with colors.  What I realized the other day, and for those of you who contemplate using yellow on your walls.  I am here to tell you GO FOR it! Every accessory I put in my kitchen has seemed to go.  At least in my eyes which well maybe that is not such a good thing….but truly I think it does.  On my ventures last week of garage salen’ I came across a few things that I was not sure what I would do with them, but bought them anyhow because they where so cheap.  In the meantime, I was making some pretty orange burlap pillows. I do not sew and I can tell you stitch witch is my friend.  So easy to make a pillow it was ridiculous.  Loved the orange color, and burlap is cheap too, 2.99 a yard and if you have a coupon you can get it really cheap.  I knew I had to put something on the pillows but had no clue what I wanted.  That was until I saw these textured like doilies…I guess they are….there where a whole bunch for 1.00…loved the colors so I grabbed them.  When I came home that is when I realized what I would do with them.  I also have made a new table runner, which was also a no sew, no brainer project for me.  I say this because all you girls who say I can’t do that, or I stink…no you don’t! If I can do it, anyone can.  I am no rocket scientist believe me! I decided I would set the table fun today.  So funny too, if you have kids you really have to see this you tube video…my son Jack just happened to be watching it when I was setting the table…we have good energy like that…it was hilarious! So let me start with the pillows I made.
orange burlap no sew pillow
 
I really do not know what those doilies are, they are a thicker texture as you can see..those are two I layered on 


Look how nice and neat I sewed NOT! As I mentioned before stitch witch….

 
Here is my big 1.00 garage sale purchase, I spruced it up with color.  The votives where amber which that is what I loved about it.

My home made table runner, love funk and whimsy pattern 

  
 
This was the kitchen last week, which I love and of course will go back to….I just want to show you how just about every color I add with the warm yellow walls, works…or at least I think so.  I am loving the orange this week. We shall see what next week or two brings.

There you be….orange you glad you came? If you have kids, or just want a laugh, go check out this you tube video…annoying orange…my son Jack was belly laughing over this. Have a great weekend everyone.  I will be putting up my Mr. Linky every Saturday morning and it will be up until Monday night.  Have fun, and I can’t wait to see some more fun finds.!

 
Thanks for stopping over today. If you are not a regular here, I sure would love to see you back again.

I love it so this post is right up my alley! I may have to come steal those pillows…they are too cute for words and the table runner…DARLING!

    I love your home and style…so fun…so you!

    I know what you mean about yellow. It goes well with orange, blue, red, green which are all the primary colors so yes, it goes well with anything. Love your table, it is so happy. I think the doilies are meant to be placemats. Aren’t they big enough for plates?….Christine

    I love your blog and the way you write! I am so thrilled you joined in my Centerpice Wednesday party! I love how you came up with your centerpiece using garage sale finds! Fabulous! I too love the color orange and I think your pillows turned out so great! I have some orange burlap laying around and I think I just may make some for myself..but I do have a red kitchen…what the heck I love bright colors and I will find a way to make it work!! Great inspiration!

Sorry I have not been around but we got so involved with our ministry and our cd we are working on and I cannot keep up! I can’t keep up with you anyway…I need some of your energy!! Love the orange accents! Love the runner and those napkins are SO cute. You always come up with such creative ideas anyway. You’re just having too much fun over here!

    I seriously laughed when you said you used “BM paint”. I was thinking she used bowel movement paint! ha! I want to paint my kitchen. I was thinking a golden yellow type color. When we bought this house everything was plain white and every hinge, door knob, lights was so generic! Ugh! We even have friggin vinyl floors! ACK! I can’t complain it’s our first home and I was 20 and my dh was 23 at the time and the house was only 4 years old too! I’ll quit complaining girl! 😉

    You would be so proud of me, Debbie. We just painted our main living space “Oklahoma wheat” –a very pretty yellow from Benjamin Moore. We did one accent wall in “apricot seashell” (we’re going for a tropical feel here in South Florida). I love how it came out! Yay for yellow!!

    btw, I’ve got a link to your blog hidden in my post for tomorrow. As you know, i don’t blog about anything crafty so it’s a bit obscure, but I think you will know the link when you see it 😉
