Raspberry, Lime, Chocolate & Blueberry...Pillows!

Okay, blueberry may be stretching it a bit.  It's actually closer to turquoise in real life but it sounded better for the title!
These pillows are my new favorites!
Sharon, a recent client, wanted new pillows to brighten up her living room. I think we have succeeded! I love the colors and fabrics in these combinations! 
I think my favorite of the bunch is the blue damask with the double ruffle of green and raspberry. These are just stunning.
This pillow is a 24"x24" with 6" double ruffles. The blue damask is on both the front and back but depending on which ruffled side you use, you get a completely different look.
Both the brown floral and the green pillows started out life as simple square pillows with no trim. I took each apart and added the contrasting ruffles. Before...
And after... (Sorry no before and after pics on the brown floral but you get the idea.)
We also made a new turquoise cover with braided trim for a lumbar/kidney shaped pillow. So all total, Sharon received 7 new pillows. - 2 brand new 24" blue damask w/ double ruffles, 2 - 20" green w/ brown ruffle, 2 - 20" brown w/ turquoise ruffle and one kidney pillow.
These pillows can't help but breathe new life into a space!

Do your pillows need sprucing up?
How about trying this delicious color combination!
