I don't know about you but I love Etsy. I've found some wonderful vintage items
as well as handmade products from shops around the world. So when friend, fellow blogger and interior decorator Carol Beck told me she was opening a shop, I couldn't wait to visit
and get a behind the scenes tour of her new virtual pillow shop called 6 Wilson.
Carol had her own custom drapery business so has great sewing chops. She now works
full-time with an interior design firm in Rhode Island, handles her own design clients and has
now turned her dining room into a workroom to supply her Etsy shop. Her sewing machine
is set up on one side of the dining table and her serger is on the other side.
The rest of the table has all of Carol's supplies, trims and tools all set up and ready to go.
I would say Carol is a connoisseur of fabrics. I tagged along on a shopping trip
to the fabric shop and I learned a lot about fabrics. All of the fabrics she's using
are beautiful high-end, designer fabrics. And no corners are being cut
in their construction. All of the edges are serged, constructed with
invisible zippers and the corners are tapered to minimize dog ears.
Most of the pillow covers use the same fabric on the front and back but if
the back is different, it's an equally beautiful coordinating fabric on the back.
Let me a show you a few of my favorites and then you can head
over to Carol's 6Wilson etsy shop and choose your own favorite.
Aren't they gorgeous?
I just couldn't resist bringing one home to liven up my guest room.
So now it's your turn to choose. Carol has generously offered to give away
one of her beautiful pillow covers to one of you. And you get to pick your own!
All you have to do is visit 6 Wilson, choose the pillow cover you'd love to have
and come back tell me which one in your comment. If you're an anonymous
commenter please leave an e-mail address or your name AND the city/state you're
from so we can properly identify you if you're chosen.
For a second chance, follow 6 Wilson on Instagram or "like" 6 Wilson on
Facebook and leave your Instagram/FB moniker in a second comment.
This offer is open to anyone worldwide.
I'll choose the winner next Sunday, May 5th, and your beautiful
pillow cover will soon be on its way.
Visit 6 Wilson and good luck!

DeleteAbsolutely!!
DeleteThe Lee Jofa Dragon pillow is so cute. I'd probably choose that. Custom shops are so cool. I have worked in several and could hardly stand wanting all of those gorgeous fabrics.
ReplyDeleteFollowed on Instagram as Kerrysteeleart :)
ReplyDeleteI too would choose the Lee Jofa Dragon pillow. Just love it! Etsy is such an amazing place and now has one more wonderful designer to tempt us. Thanks so much for the offer.
ReplyDeleteJust LOVE the Highland Court 18inch Blue and Cream Crewel Pillow. Not sure if your contest covers the more expensive fabrics, but if so that would be my first choice. There are so many gorgeous ones it is hard to choose! I also like the Clarke & Clarke 18inch White Embroidered Pillow with Taupe. 2nd choice!
ReplyDeleteNo limit Katie!
DeleteFollowed on IG as well. @feeldogs
ReplyDeleteI adore the Designer Ikat Orange and Lavender pillow!
ReplyDelete(you can click through to my profile to e-mail me).
I adore the fuchsia pink orange embroidered pillow - those are so my colors!
ReplyDeleteI love the Designer Highland Court Old World Neutral Damask pillow, however they are all beauties!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the introduction to 6 Wilson and the fun giveaway! -S.Ernst in California
What a beautiful shop. So nice to see high quality fabrics and her craftsmanship! Well done Carol! I LOVE the one in your guest room (gorgeous photos, you stylist you!) but I think I would pick the Emerald and Ivory lumbar pillow (although I'd have to redecorate around it).
ReplyDeleteI hope I win! :)

Thank you for this great giveaway! I love the Schumaker crewel pillow, it's over the top!
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but redecorated my bedroom and the High End English Designer Blue would be perfect! Thank you for the great opportunity. D.Straight La Mesa, CA
ReplyDeleteI love the Green Leaves on White 20 inch pillow. Such gorgeous colors and texture!

ReplyDeleteDesigner Blue and Cream Floral Reversible 18 inch Pillow
I will be visiting Carol's shop again. Loved so many pillows it was hard to choose one, but I'd have to say the 18" Highland Court charcoal cut velvet is one of my favorites! Thank you, Steve, for this opportunity and for introducing Carol's Etsy shop. And thank you for blogging! I have been quietly following your progress for some time now; reading about your design choices and dilemmas. I always look forward to hearing/seeing what you've been up to.

Oh wow, what a great give away. I loved all of them ,but if I had to choose I would choose the Designer Green Leaves on white. Thanks for this opportunity Steve.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love the 18 in blue and cream crewel pillow.
ReplyDeleteAllana
What a wonderful store with such beautifully chosen fabrics. They are all so lovely, but when I saw your photo of the Designer green leaves in white 20" pillow, my heart nearly stopped. This is exactly what I want to use on the window seat of my new breakfast nook. If I don't win, I would love to know what the fabric is so I can source it. Thanks for the chance to enter the competition.
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose! Thanks for sharing Carol's Etsy Shop. Designer 18 inch Flax Color Embroidered Linen Pillow would have to be my choice.
ReplyDeleteLove all the pillows! But the Classic Black and White Silk Check would be perfect in my home
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely STUNNING fabrics! The Schumacher Blue Gray Crewel with Gray Linen 20" Pillow is my favorite. Thanks so much for doing this!
ReplyDeleteThese pillows are absolutely beautiful. There are many that I love, but I think that my favorite is the High End Designer Fushia Pink Orange.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I already follow 6Wilson on Instagram and Etsy.....her pillows are gorgeous. Having a pillow giveaway is really cruel because it just feeds my addiction you know! I tried to decide...loved the green vintage Schumacher and the orange Imperial Trellis. You would have to tie me down and threaten me to nail down a selection!
ReplyDeleteFun tour! Pillows can really give character to a room. You can play with colors and patterns you might not use on something large. Her workshop and shop are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm still deciding between between the very first pillow - the vintage Schumacher emerald and ivory long bolster or the Knoll Jaipur in Jasmine. It might take winning to force a decision!
ReplyDeleteI'm also following on Instagram as tokyojinja! Thanks to both of you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway! The pillows are beautiful and one of my favorites is the F.Schumacher Exclusive Trellis II 18" Pillow Orange and White Linen.
ReplyDeleteSo hard to pick! Today I'd take the orange & white greek key! So nice to see quality workmanship on pillows!
ReplyDeleteI follow 6 Wilson on FB. (Sherry Carroll)
ReplyDeleteI love the blue and cream floral reversible. Thank you for showing such beautiful pillows.
ReplyDeletergsterrett@comcast.net
She does wonderful work and I love her fabric choices..
ReplyDeleteJust visited her shop, everything is gorgeous! I would love the Knoll Luxe Jaipur in Jasmine for my bed or do I need the green vintage Schumacher? It would be hard to choose! Since I don't sew, etsy shopping is the perfect way to get custom pillows. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteLonden
Love 'all' Carol's pillows! I especially love the 20' highland court! I've followed Carol on IG for a while now. I think the pillow you chose for your guest room is perfect!

ReplyDeleteHi there - I found your blog through my friend Lane's blog at Urban Orchard Interiors. I have a love affair with pillows but, previously, my two small children and what was then a puppy were determined to make it a one-way relationship - spills, chewing...you get the picture. They are older now but I have yet to replace the pillows in our den which is currently a sea of brown leather. The Kravet 18 inch blue and red linen paisley would be just the thing to add a little light to the room. Regardless of the outcome, you and your friend have inspired me to revisit my pillow obsession. Thanks for the opportunity - eestes72@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteWOW! I just spent 45 minutes on your site looking at all the fabulous pillows. I love pillows. I am a pillow fanatic. If I were fortunate enough to win a pillow I would pick the Blue & White Linen Floral w/ Ball Trim. Thank you for this generous opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThis was very hard. All gorgeous pillows so can I say all?? Kidding, I started eliminating with what wouldn't work with my decor and finally decided on "Designer 18 inch Citrine and White Damask Linen Pillow" tada! Thanks for the introduction Steve.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be HUGE! I LUV ETSY and use it all the time. I definitely like - High End Designer Beige Linen Mullti Color Chinoiserie 11x20 Lumbar Pillow! franki fmparde@gmail.com
ReplyDelete18" flax colored embroidered pillow. sorry i had to write that down while I remembered.
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful and very reasonably priced.
Even if I'm not the lucky winner,I might have to get it for myself.
Thanks for the introduction.
You're a good blog friend.

Designer Green Leaves on White 20 inch Pillow is gorgeous....as is all of the rest! Love them!

beautiful pillows!
ReplyDeletei would love the aqua and cream velvet!
Lovely pillows! If I won I would have to choose between the designer Highland Court blue & cream crewrl or the HighEnd English designer blue & white floral with ball trim or the designer 18" cream embroidery on blue & white stripe. Love them all.
ReplyDeleteI have never won anything in my life, except for when a nag paid $94 at Suffolk Downs in 1979, but I knew the tour would be a treat. Almost by accident, in the last few months, I've gotten involved in a navy blue/bittersweet sofa makeover, and when I found the 18" Paprika Velvet on the very last last page of 8 Wilson's site, I knew I had to tell you what a loving home it would find here! Thanks Steve, as always, for being such a great mentor and guide.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the very generous giveaway! I adore the pillows. I choose the Schumacher Crewel in Blue Gray. It's wonderful!

I'd love to have the Robert Allen Floral Gray Coral Red Linen 12x16 pillow. Great site and great giveaway!
