Pillow Covers // Goods by Grinn

I'm changing up the color in a few of our rooms (guest bedroom, living room, and master sitting room) and started searching for pillow covers.  Etsy is, of course, a great resource, but I feel like I'm seeing the same patterns/colors over and over in a lot of the shops.  I stumbled upon <a href="http://www.goodsbygrinn.com/collections/everyday-pillows">Goods by Grinn</a> on <a href="http://pinterest.com/honeywerehome/boards/">Pinterest</a> (my addiction!) and was instantly excited over her pillows.  And at great prices- around $36 for a 20x20 inch cover with a zipper closure. :)  You can buy pillow inserts at places like Hobby Lobby, Joanns, and Michaels.  I like to buy inserts just a little bigger than the pillow for a fuller look. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
