These pillows look awful

I don't think I can handle the new bright pillows on the deck....all white is boring me, but these might be too much.  I will live with it a bit before I get too judgey...what do you think?
(part of me wants to add at least two more patterns before I shut down the experiment...something with a tiny pattern, and something green...but I still think these patterns are too juicy for me!  I am (now) craving more boho)

OH MAN THEY GOTTA GO!  They lasted 5 mins


Just like that, all white is calling to me again! Fickle, fickle woman!

UPDATE...I DIY'd some colour!

    I love the stripes! and the other patterned ones too...I think you should add it back and keep it for at least 4 days (YES - over the weekend!) and then see what you think. At least the beauty of pillows is that you can swap them whever you want to

    Yup its brown...I feel like I accidentally touched fire...I am probably going to recoil my hand away from pattern for a while...

    Buy what you love and it will all come together? Well, maybe ONE DAY...I really love these pillow covers/patterns too but not in my space...I know I should give them a chance, but I can't handle them....I will pack them away and try fresh when the mood for cheerful colours hits again!

    I am not a fan of the stripes. I like stripes and do think you could use...something on there but that pillow with the pink stripes is not it :-) The yellow ones from TL looked good. I pictures somethign with this fabric: http://www.tonicliving.com/productsDetails.asp?categoryid=87&productid=2175&currentpage=1&onsale=0 or http://www.tonicliving.com/productsDetails.asp?categoryid=87&productid=1135&currentpage=1&onsale=0 or http://www.tonicliving.com/productsDetails.asp?categoryid=94&productid=2197&currentpage=1&onsale=0

    I like these too J - good picks!!!!
    The candy color stripes just beckoned me ... I still really like the happy colours, but lets face it, I have 1% pattern in this entire house...trying to add these strong colours is crazy talk! Maybe I will pull them out and use these colours as a decorating theme for a girlie birthday!

    Haha! This is exactly what I would do. ALthough I do love that yellow and white print. I might have kept that! : )

    I love the yellow, but not the stripes...I think the yellow is subtle enough to be allowed back?

    I can't figure out what I was thinking with the pink...but the pattern does make me happy! I just think it would look better poolside!

    Poolside is perfect...or maybe on a single chair elsewhere? I love stripes, but I agree they seemed jarring there...
