I decided the pillows with black trim did nothing to complement the coral and white pillows and that they would look better with solid pillows in a deeper coral. No problem to make them, right? Wrong. Coral is a very difficult color to match! I looked at every fabric and sample at Calico Corners and Boca Bargoons and I found one special order that was close...name of the color was Persimmon.
Then I pulled out an old swatch I had clipped at Boca Bargoons a few years ago and I like the way it looked. Fortunately they still had it as well as a deeper shade of the same aqua. I whipped out that sewing machine and got to work.
I love the way this looks (and I discovered the pillows look better with narrower flanges) but many of the black accessories in the room looked too heavy. That set off a re-accessorizing frenzy. Fortunately, I got pretty lucky at Marshall's. It also inspired me to perform an overdue tchotchke purge/reorganization!
