Yesterday I purchased this throw pillow. I pinned one awhile ago that I wanted to make. This pillow had such a great price I decided to just buy it for our living room. This blue leather chair is very special to me, it was my dads and actually belongs to my brother. I'm just keeping it for now until he settles down.

What do you think? I just love it!

I'm thinking I may get two pillows a "J" and a "R" and putting them on our couch. I also have our red chair in this room, I would like to incorporate both colors. How would you enhance the look of this room? I want to stay away from the "americana" look. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
