Introducing .... Throw Pillows

(Otherwise entitled: When Life's a Beach, Sometimes You Just Don't Get Out of the Sand to Write a Blog Post)

** UPDATE: This post was having some flaky issues with the image maps I created, so I took them down. Apparently I'm not as good at those as I thought I was. You can now  get to the pillows by selecting the link beneath the pillows.

You know how you have some friends in life -- the really, really good ones -- that you know you can just be yourself around and they'll always accept you for who you are?  Sometimes, you can even be a little inconsiderate of them, in anticipation of their forgiveness and understanding because you're just that close?

Well, I guess we're really getting close here, you and I, because clearly I feel comfortable enough to stand you up when I promise to post a really exciting post introducing our new products.  Yeah, sorry about that. My excuse is that my best friend and her family are in town visiting, and she is one of those friends that I described above. But she also one of those friends with whom you could talk for hours incessantly and never run out of topics to cover.  (In fact, I find that those two things usually go hand-in-hand in friendship.) Unfortunately, one of the topics we didn't cover yesterday is decorative throw pillows.

But hey, it's never too late for a good discussion about throw pillows!  So allow me, without further ado and excuse-making, to introduce our latest babies: Throw pillows!

College Dorm Room Ideas - Guys

OK, guys. You ready? Who says only girls decorate their dorm rooms?

Check out this masculine dorm room decor. Nautical dorm rooms rule!!!

Since home decor may not be your thing, but we are going to walk you through it one step at a time.  Deep breath.  It's not hard.

First things first: cover the cold, bare floor with something that will hide the ugly, cushion the toes, and isn't too finicky about crumbs.

Crimson Silky Shag

Add layers to the bed.

Bamboo Viscose Duvet Cover

Bamboo Viscose Sheet Set

Big Crab White Pillow

Jacaranda Throw Pillow with Lighthouse

Jacaranda Throw Pillow with Sailboat

Now you're going to want to change the walls up a bit, but keeping the effort to a minimum since this is just your temporary home, so here's what I recommend:

Wooden Newport Rowing Oar with Hooks

I like two, side-by-side (or should I say top to bottom?). There are so many styles to choose from, so browse our entire selection of oars to find the one that is just right for you.

Another essential piece for your dorm room walls is a mirror, so that you have a way quickly spiff yourself up before heading out to the campus dining area. A porthole mirror would add a truly finished look to this nautical themed dorm room, and while I chose brass, there are many options available.

Brass Porthole Mirror

Navy Porthole Mirror

Rusted Iron Porthole Mirror

And now for my favorite part.  Seating!  So many college students are doomed to blow up chairs and beanbags for seating, but in reality affordable sophisticated seating is easy to come by.  This Helix Chair is also available in gunmetal and antique black gold.

You'll need to soften it up with these:

White Lobster on Red Lumbar Pillow

Brushed Organic Cotton Throw

And just for fun, the America's Cup Contender to make all the guys jealous.

Oops! Almost forgot the lighting. You'll need something rad to help you through those late night study marathons ... you know, the whole purpose of college. This was a tough decision for me when choosing the lamp for this dorm room, because both options are a truly perfect fit for this room.  Behold.

And now you're finished. See how easy that is? Take that drab dorm room up a notch or two, and really make this place your home.  And for an added bonus, you can count on free shipping on orders of $50 or more.  What are you waiting for?
