Happy Monday.

I’m so glad you are here.

Have you had coffee yet because I have the most fun thing for us today.

See these pillows? I am obsessed with them. They are embroidered and look so high-end and come in tons of different styles in different colors and different patterns and I shared them on the 10 best things I’ve bought lately post from last week.

I love love LOVE them.

But here’s the thing.

They actually come in a set of two and when I ordered them I ordered two. So I have extra. I was going to send one set back and keep one set and then I HAD THE MOST BRILLIANT IDEA.

What if I gave away a set to one of you?

So I’m going to show you both sets up close so you can see the pattern in great detail and show the pillows to you in the living room and then we are all going to vote on the set we like the best in my house.

I’ll keep that set and give away the other set to y’all.

Are you ready to discuss?

Let’s GO.

Before I show you the two pillows I ended up ordering—let me show you all the other options from the same listing.

I seriously was over the moon when I stumbled across these pillow options.

I’m always on the hunt for pillows and these are some of the prettiest, most affordable, great-quality pillow covers ever. I had such a challenging time picking which ones to order.

Here are all the options that I was choosing from (please note that each option comes in a set of two):

This embroidered set of pink tulip vase pillows.

You can see them here.

This embroidered red and orange flower pillow.

You can see it here.

This embroidered pink tulip pillow.

You can see it here.

OPTION ONE

See why it was so hard—they are all so cute.

So here’s the first option that I chose.

A few of the details. The pillow cover is 18″ x 18″ and the front is embroidered and the back is plain. There’s a hidden zipper that zips open and closed easily.

Every single piece on the front is embroidered. I tried to take close-up details so you could how intricate the pattern on the front of the pillow is. This pillow cover has pink and navy and gray and gold and tan and light blue and magenta.

You can see this pillow cover here.

OPTION TWO

Here’s the second option with a blue and white vase full of flowers (note: this is just like the pink pillow I shared earlier—I just went with the blue and white option instead).

A few of the details. The pillow cover is 18″ x 18″ and the front is embroidered and the back is blue without any embroidery. There’s a hidden zipper that zips open and closed easily.

The flowers and the vase on the front are embroidered. I tried to take close-up details so you could how intricate the pattern on the front of the pillow is. This pillow cover has a blue and white vase with a vine pattern and blue tulips with white daisies and green leaves.

You can see this pillow cover here.

And now?

Let’s vote.

Comment OPTION ONE (the flower pillow that I’m holding) or OPTION TWO (the blue and white vase pillow) below.

That’s it.

I’ll keep the one that you all choose that works best for my house and I’ll pick a comment after 48 hours using a random number generator and mail the extra set to the winner. 🙂

I’d love to know which pillow you like best.

LET’S GO.

    I think the one you’re holding adds a little more interest and color to your living room. If I were you, I’d keep one pillow cover from each set instead of having two identical pillows. I love your blog.

    Option 1 I prefer this contrast. Oh Karianne! I’m so excited. I’ve been admiring these beautiful blue striped chairs for so long.and now one is on its way to me! Yippee! And you should see the current price! Thank you for the best in decor direction.💚

    Well, they are both, obviously, beautiful. I feel like Option 1 works best in your room because it pops, where as Option 2 tends to blend in. So my vote is Option 1!

    Option #1… both are pretty but #1 brings in a few more interesting colors to highlight your blues—- and it’s just a “happy” pillow…

    OPTION TWO It reflects your decorating preference of blue and white and the bright daisies bring summer into the room. They also remind me of the bright light you share with us in your blogs!

    Option 1 They are both beautiful pillow covers! I believe you have some pinks and corals in a painting above your mantel. Option one would pull in some of those colors.

    I think OPTION ONE works best in the striped chair, but I really do like both of them -- I may order both so I can switch them out!

    My vote is for OPTION ONE, the white matches the decorative cut stemware and the blue matches the prints on the wall. (option two has two much blue in it- against the blue chair) Definitely OPTION ONE.

    Option 1 for sure!! Just really suits your room the best!! I love your blog! Sorry I have been MIA, my husband got sick and then passed away in July so I am trying to get myself back up. Reading your blog really helps as it is so cheery.

    Option 2. I love your milk glass collection and striped chairs. After hurricane Ian and the destruction to our condo, we finally were able to move back into it in late April? This would be a beautiful addition to my blues and grays. Thank you

    Option # 2. I was looking at the pillows on Amazon and could not figure out if it was one pillow or a set of two.

  86. Image for Laura Lander Laura Lander

    I think you should use option one. I really like option two because I love blue and yellow and I love daisies but I think a fit if another color in your living room would liven things up a tiny bit. Plus with fall coming it looks a little less summery.

    Option 2 would look so charming and welcoming in my parents' home which is decorated with blue and white Delft, Royal Copenhagen, and Spode. They have been homebound since the start of the pandemic so I look to bring something special to lift their spirits each time I visit. This pillow would definitely do the trick! Thanks for sharing wonderful, affordable decor, KariAnne.

    Option one for sure. It adds that color pop to the chair, the room the vibe. Its colors could actually carry you into a fall transformation. They are both gorgeous but option one is so darn cute and happy. Sounds like you. 😊. Lots of comments on voting day. 😁

    As another who absolutely loves the color blue my heart belongs to Option 2....byt my eye chooses Option 1. It complements your beautiful blue and white decor and also gives the eye a colorful break from the blu while still perfectly complementing it. Gorgeous either way! And, thank you for the link. I NEVER win anything but on occasion I do treat myself Heading off to do a little One-Click shopping. You have a fabulous day!

    Option 2 because the pattern is different (flowers in a vase) on a pillow. It’s more common to see the an all over pattern on pillows. Love ‘em both though!

    KariAnne my husband calls me "flower" so this is perfect! I love both but if I had to choose it would be the blue and white option 2. It is so classic. Kind of reminds me of my trip to Greece for some reason. Love the giveaway!

    Both pillows are gorgeous! I like the idea someone had if keeping one pillow from each set and giving away the other two!

    Hi Karianne - In your living room, with the area rug you have and other furnishings, I say option #2. If the room was just this corner and the striped blue and white upholstery, then Option #1. Last week when you posted the link for these pillows, I looked them up right away. They are all beautiful - I love the texture of the embroidery. Thank you for the recommendation!

    OPTION ONE! All those pillows are soooo pretty, and would add “casual sophistication” to any room they’re chosen for, but I like Option One (you’re holding) for your blue & white room! It even has several warm pinks to reference the lovely painting on your mantle! I’d also choose OPTION ONE for me, so I may have to run to Amazon before they’re all gone! Always with great finds to share with us, you’re especially generous to give one of these sets away! Love our KA!

    I am sooooo late to your pillow party. I actually started this, this morning. Option One gives you a pop of color with the goldenrod color. It's pure sunshine. The veins in the leaf mimic the stripes on your chair and the darker blue pick up the dark blue back wall of your shelving unit. All of these pillows are so pretty and I can't believe they are embroidered for that price!! And 2 pillows! Thank you for sharing this. Now I know this is off topic but can you share where you purchased your cute CUTE sandals? They are adorable on you.
