World Pillow

So have I said yet that I love IKEA, well I do and that's probably why I'm breaking my give back rule already by featuring the Kelly Varld cushion.

I am always trying to incorporate things around the house that have a world point of view and these high design cushions do the trick with out being completely literal or flashing bright colors.  I think it's a nice touch in dressing up a winter couch.
