The characteristically bold patterns and high contrast colors of the American Southwest hold a special place in my heart and adorn most the corners of my house. These generously sized pillows look great on any sofa, and if you look closely, you’ll see the mosaic motifs are actually the same - the only difference is that one is more bold than the other. The difference is astonishing!
