Happy Memorial Day Friday my friends! When summer finally comes around I always crave more color around our house which is the reason that I gathered my favorite handmade colorful throw pillows from Etsy. You can just mix and match some of them.
Do you remember how colorful it gets in our outdoor living areas. My porch and my patio tend to reflect the plants and flowers.
I also mentioned before that I like using indoor pillows outside. I happen to really dislike outdoor pillows because most of the time they end up being dirtier than any other pillow I own and I can’t get the dirt out by washing. I prefer to just use my regular Ikea inserts with pillow covers.
The pillows stay outside on our covered front porch and on our back patio I gathered them in when it rains. I just really prefer it that way. How about you?
I also really get bored with the standard outdoor pillow fabrics.
Here is a photo of our porch from last year. It still looks like this by the way. You can see my striped porch painting tutorial HERE and my tropical porch post HERE.

My favorite colorful handmade pillows
Schuhmacher fabrics always have to be on my list when it comes to gathering pillows. I have one popping up in my decor frequently and you can see it on my bench above. Their designer fabrics are just like non other and I love the patterns and colors.
Of course I have a bunch of them in the below roundup as well. Check it out:

Guys it’s always so so hard to pick favorites for a small roundup because there are so so many more colorful throw pillows. I just love throw pillows so much. I could browse for hours and procrastinate.
Here are some more photos of our colorful patios from over the years:

That’s it for today and enjoy your Memorial Day weekend!
