Just as Oscar Wilde wrote "The Importance of Being Earnest", and felt that he could "never live up to" his blue and white porcelain, I am writing today about the importance of being a pillow. Decorators think about things like this...Jeffrey Bilhuber and Tom Britt have been using fabulous statement pillows for years. A room without pillows is like a prison cell. They add a sense of comfort and luxury that is essential for that feeling of well being that we like to foster for our clients and ourselves. Here are some random pillow shots I like. Enjoy ! DF *****
