Burlap, Burlap, Burlap

I have an obsession with burlap. I'm really not sure why- it's not soft and cuddly or easy to work with, but it adds so much character to the room! Today I played around with a few burlap ideas :)

I puddled it on my kitchen table with this great apothecary I bought at TJ Max for only $10. I feel like I'm eating dinner in my beach house! (my pretend beach house, that is).

I tried another pinterest project as well! I loved these cute Mr. and Mrs. burlap pillows :). I think they turned out pretty cute! And cheap! - I used a free coffee sack from a local coffee house, acrylic paint for $1, cotton stuffing for $4, and black yarn for $3. Here are mine: 

I free handed my letters and hand-stitched the yard the seal the edges. Here is the one from pinterest:
