IKEA PILLOW - Black & White Inspiration

Good Morning all-

My color inspiration today is an IKEA Pillow that I have on my leather couch. I just love this pillow because of the geometric pattern and against my couch, it pops. I took a picture of the pillow and uploaded it along with the card. I am so interested to see what creations you have come up with by using the patterns and colors around you. Please share what you have been doing. Thanks for stopping by!
