Etsom·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once per week.
It’s that time again. We need to replace our living room throw pillows. Our last pillow covers were the perfect shades of gray and purple. They were washable and simple (with a minimalist bamboo print in white) and everyone loved them, wven the cat! They may, however, be the devil to replace…

This…If you try to take a nap on this one, you’re liable to lose an eye!I might be willing to redecorate just so I could buy these beauties! By JustTwoPeopleQ: What shape is that? A: AirbagFrom the IT collection…Meet “Grumpy Trevor.” I think I love him. By CraftedOnCowrieQ: What should we give our friend? A: I know! A giant stuffed version of her head!I deeply wish I had a place to put this! By TatvakalaWhat is it with Etsy and monkeys?This pattern is called “stone,” but it just looks to me like somebody broke an elephant.Oh, get out of here with your extreme cuteness. I’m supposed to be snarky! By tsomoririDESIGN“Romantic” pillow that kind of screams “Permanently Single.”Do I NEED a velvet octopus pillow? No. I do not. But do I WANT one… ShiitakeCreek“Halloween pillow.” Yikes.Not exactly the colors I’m looking for, but this is beautifully done! By SvaraDecoreQ: What’s your design aesthetic? A: Pond scum.
While I never quibble with a chance to watch Monty Python invite us to sit on their faces, I would say that it also pairs well with the pillow that is actually one’s own face……-giggle- And that leads me to imagine creating a pillow like that with a chip inside so that it does, indeed, play Monty Python……
Your captions are hysterical as always. Thank you for making me snort with laughter.
Strangely enough, I too am in the market for some new sofa pillows, though I have not embarked on my search quest yet. Your post serves as a caveat emptor before I do so. I am now bracing myself to encounter a whole lot of ugly.
My youngest would love that cat pillow and my brother needs an octopus pillow for sure. I absolutely love that chandelier pillow but comfort is more paramount than style and I cannot imaging those jewels being great for the lumbar. Also, I absolutely cannot see that pillow design as pebbles. It is 100% and IKEA elephant.
Our criteria are very specific: Beloved wants something washable she can nap on, and I want something that goes with my colors and enhances the room’s cool factor. In other words, something that doesn’t exist…
Ha! That is also my problem. Machine washable and plushly comfy is a must but I also want something decorative enough to add a bit of kapow flair to the room as our sofa is neutral/bland on its own.

I do have some but pillows just aren’t that important to me.

Our living room is all solids except for the pillows, so I do obsess about them a bit.

How many do you want?? None of the above. After I move next year or if I more I might change my mind but there are none in my house today. Hal

I am a fan of a wide matte sequin stripe. Still washable, but just enough texture to be interesting.
