We're all so busy writing posts and trying to find the time to do our own projects that we'd neglected to get over to Bluelines and check in on our partner to see how they're all doing. It's a bit quiet, but we hear they're doing fine. As per usual they have the nicest pics and a number of ambitious projects to share. Here's our roundup...

Duh! Picture one is brilliant. There are some silky buttoned squares on Spiegel.com that would rock this.
i could do this i have two 24in square pillows now and 4 casters, all i'd need is the wood. i think i'll try it cause i really need an ottoman!
I LOVE the idea of using the floor pillows on a plank and casters for an ottoman. I don't fancy those particular pillows in the picture but I have had my eye on some that I really like. Thanks AT guys.
me too---I'd love to know where you got the front pillow on the couch!
Duh. The ottoman is brilliant! One of those simple ideas that you say, "Why didn't I think of that! Why haven't we seen something like this before?"
I LOVE the fabric on the small pillow in the 1st picture. Has anyone seen anything similar out there?
I desperately need to recover the seats of my walnut dining room chairs and that fabric would be perfect!
on the top pic, is that a folding snack table? I've been looking for something like that (looks bigger than the standard sized ones I see and a lot cooler)
Does anyone know where to get reasonably priced cushions of this type? I have been looking for square, sturdy cushions and have had a hard time finding them. Any ideas?
Thanks!
crate and barrel has cushions like those
i love that fabric used for the cushions. who designs them? and where can i find it???
i got my square floor cushions at Ross. but as you know that place is hit or miss. i think i paid $20 or $30 for both.
Urban Outfitters almost always has square cushions (but I think they're 18x18) for cheap.
Ok let's get real people. Being the creative kind of guy that can make something out of just about anything, and frustrated when I can't find what I'm looking for. Hit the thrift stores. You can always find huge pillows. And your local fabric store for the fabric. These pillows shown are boxed. A little piping and squared of edges can make any shape pillow a boxed pillow. Not to mention if your pillow is the wrong size, too big, too small, etc, Open them up and make your own. I find alot of those fabric store pillows expensive and not very well made. I do like the convertible ottomon idea. Good luck.
huh?
