I spotted these Evie floral pillows on clearance at Pottery Barn when I was out the other day. I hadn’t noticed them online or browsing through the catalog before. The pattern has the quirk of a good vintage find, and scattered amongst the leaves and flowers are caterpillars, butterflies, and beetles (you know how I feel about beetles). I liked the back, which isn’t shown in the product photos, even better than the front.
I often see a new print, piece of furniture, wallpaper, pillow, whatever, and I start dreaming up a whole room around it. Do you guys do the same thing? It’s a little dangerous because I want to buy! all! the! things! so instead, I come home and whip up a design plan I can share here. Good thing I have a blog, eh?

I would love to see this as a guest room. I wanted to play up the pinks and blues in the pillow, and the vintage-style bed is a nod to the pattern style. The use of black throughout would keep the whole thing from veering off into too-sweet territory, and more modern pieces keep the look current. The imperfect dots on the desk are a good complement to the floral print, and the brass hardware and lighting add warmth.
p.s. I almost used “bed bugs” in the title but then thought better of it. You’re welcome.
