When I embarked on my journey of creating throw pillows, (unexpectedly, I might add) I had little knowledge about textile sourcing or pillow design. What I did possess, however, was a passion for design and the ability to build a brand. Throughout my life, I've had a deep love for interior design, and over time, friends and family sought my help in decorating their homes. It wasn't until I flipped my 1975 fixer-upper and shared the photos on Instagram that my hobby transformed into a potential career.

As I started designing spaces, I realized that throw pillows played a crucial role as the main focal point. However, my biggest challenge – finding throw pillows that didn't appear cheap or generic. Instead, I began making my own pillows, curtains, and other DIY projects to create spaces with a unique and personalized touch, steering away from the mass-produced items found in big box stores.

In 2017, an opportunity arose when a colleague offered me her small shop, which included baby items, blankets, and you guessed it, throw pillows. I seized the chance and restructured the company, focusing solely on home decor and creating Laurel and Blush as it stands today. My love for interior design, combined with my passion for throw pillows, led to the birth of a full-fledged company.

Knowing that standard fabric suppliers wouldn't meet my quality standards, I embarked on extensive research, learning the intricate process of creating exceptional throw pillows. I engaged with fabric suppliers, crafted my own designs, and produced my first set of samples. Over the course of six years, our collection grew from just seven pillows to a selection of over 250 designs.

Through dedication and commitment to craftsmanship, our handmade throw pillows caught the attention and admiration of many. We are proud to work with more than 250 interior designers, two luxury hotels, numerous social media influencers, and reputable publications like HGTV Magazine, Charleston Home + Design, Modern Texas Living, and Bekah Martinez from ABC's The Bachelor. Additionally, we are honored that 19 of our pillows have earned the distinction of being Etsy Bestsellers.

"These are expensive". We take great pride in the quality and craftsmanship of our pillows at Laurel and Blush, and you're absolutely right – they're not cheap. However, there's a good reason behind that. We firmly believe that creating a unique and distinctive product is worth the investment.

Sure, we could cut costs and produce cheaper pillows that resemble those found in big box stores. But that's not our vision. Our goal is to offer pillows that add a touch of elegance and individuality to your home. We want our customers to be excited when someone asks, 'Where did you get that pillow?' because it sets their home apart with a sense of style and sophistication.

To achieve this, we prioritize using premium materials and exceptional craftsmanship.
Each pillow is meticulously hand-inspected for quality assurance before it reaches your home. This attention to detail ensures that you receive a product that meets our highest standards – a pillow that will stand the test of time and remain a cherished part of your decor.

We understand that our pillows may not be within everyone's budget, but we firmly believe that the value they bring to your living space is unmatched. Our customers can trust that when they invest in a Laurel and Blush pillow, they are getting a product that reflects their taste, lasts for years!

We are immensely grateful for the support we have received and the opportunities that have come our way. Laurel and Blush is a testament to the passion, creativity, and hard work that goes into creating exceptional home decor products. As we continue on this journey, we remain dedicated to delivering the finest throw pillows that add charm, elegance, and individuality to every space.

Thank you for being a part of our story and for appreciating the artistry that goes into each and every Laurel and Blush throw pillow.

With heartfelt gratitude,
