Lavender Therapeutic Hothouse Comfort Pillows

Hard day? Curl up with one of these babies. They're little 14- by 7.5-inch pillows filled with buckwheat and lavender. You can even toss them in the microwave for a few seconds, and they warm up like heating pads. They come in four varieties, each one decorated with a different botanical silhouette.

My Beating Heart Pillow

This pillow sounds kind of soothing or kind of disturbing, especially if "The Tell-Tale Heart" freaked you out. The 14-inch heart-shaped pillow has an electronic mechanism inside that mimics a beating heart. It beats at a slow, relaxed rate that's supposed to help you chill out. Maybe I should get one of these for work.

$49.99, Perpetual Kid

Thomas Paul Bali in Red Cotton Pillow

I really like the colorful design on this throw pillow by Thomas Paul. I think if I had this on my couch it would be easier to make believe that I was in a beach-side hut drinking a coconut beverage and being fanned by palm leaves.

$40.00, Velocity Art and Design

Birds of a Feather Decorative Pillow

This throw pillow is a bit strange, but I like it because it's sort of like a pillow version of Turducken. Actually, I guess it's more like Owldoveheart. Fortunately, you don't have to actually eat it. You can just put it on the couch and perplex your guests.

$70.00, Bunny Maxwell

Mod Watercolor Crewel Pillow

This sizable, 18-inch wide throw pillow is very detailed and colorful for the price. It's made of cotton, and the front is completely covered with soft wool embroidery (otherwise known as crewel embroidery). I like how the stitch work makes it almost looks like a painting.

DwellStudio for Target Perch Bedding Collection

I really dig DwellStudio's bedding, but its stuff is usually out of my price range. That's why I was excited to see that the company designed a line of bedding for Target. The flora on this cotton comforter from Target reminds me a lot of the Hedgerow Persimmon Duvet Set ($264). You can find more of the Target DwellShop designs here.

$85.49 for a full/queen comforter, Target

Sheepskin Floor Cushion

Even though this white sheepskin floor cushion is kind of pricey, I fantasize about curling up on a pile of them. They look so fuzzy and soft. Each floor pillow is a 26-inch square, stuffed with foam and polyester fiberfill.

$89.00, West Elm

Thomas Paul Goldfinch Pillow

While the birds on this silk twill throw pillow are technically goldfinches, not lovebirds, it looks pretty romantic to me. It makes me want to bake heart-shaped cupcakes. The pillow, designed by Thomas Paul, is 18 inches wide and filled with a mix of feathers and down.

Primavera Bed Linens

These cushy 300-thread-count linens are decorated with a fun blue marigold pattern from Marimekko of Finland. The fluffy marigolds make the bed look especially soft and serene.

$119 for a queen-size comforter and $129 for a queen-size sheet set, Crate & Barrel

Blissliving Anis Pillow

I just want to curl up with this soft cotton throw pillow. The black anis floral design is simple and elegant. It would look really nice on a white or brightly colored couch.

Fancy Chandelier Pillowcase Set

Use these pillowcases printed with chandelier silhouettes, and maybe you'll have dreams of fancy masquerade balls (try the finger food--it's calorie-free!). Or maybe you'll get one of the great dreams I've had a few times where you find a fabulous secret room in your apartment.

$24.00, Urban Outfitters

Gloria Pillow

I like the loud pop-art rose pattern on this 18-inch cotton throw pillow. The back of the pillow is a little different, showing parts of four flowers from the pattern. The outside is removable and washable.

$85.00, Henry Road

Mixed Media Peacock Pillow

I like the mixture of patterns on this cool throw pillow. It makes me think of one of Uli's dresses from "Project Runway." (I feel like I've been waiting for season four forever!) It's about two feet wide, a perfect size for hugging during a scary movie or an unnerving episode of "Heroes."

$36.00, Urban Outfitters

Turquoise Medallion Quilt

I love the bright color and cool pattern of this shiny quilt. It definitely brightens up a room. Plus, It's made of 180-thread-count cotton. This could (maybe, possibly) be because I'm kind of cold right now, but I thought I heard it call my name.

$49.99, Target

Cosmic Throw Pillow

Twinkle Living sells some pretty cool stuff, including a rad unicorn blanket. I'm also a fan of this fun throw pillow with different sized ovals in pink and black. You can also buy one with kelly green and navy ovals. It definitely spruces up a plain couch.
