to say that this contest was a battle to the end well, just wouldn’t be accurate. from the second our ugliest pillow finalists went live there was a clear winner from start to finish. almost 5,000 of you voted and today we have our winners. so congrats to the following entrants who will receive new thomas paul pillows (above), courtesy of pillows and throws, to replace their seriously hideous pillows. thanks to everyone who voted!
first place goes to lauren’s lace terror- who swept the contest with ease. she had a commanding lead on her opponents and kept her edge throughout the week. congrats to lauren who will receive 2 new thomas paul pillows to replace her sad, sad lace pillow.
second place goes to kelli’s kissing ducks. i think we all felt a little sorry for this pillow and it’s creepy kissing ducks so we can be at east now knowing that kelli will have a new pillow to replace her duck disaster.
third place goes to kristen’s scary stag. i’m not sure if it was the weird fraying fringe on the pillow or the woodsy stag itself, but this was your vote for third place and now kristen can replace her sad stag with a new thomas paul pillow. congrats!

i still can’t believe that lace pillow. is that potpourri inside of it? eek.
“lace terror”, lol. Pretty accurate!
unbelievable. i’m so excited for those pillows to be replaced!! what an awesome contest!
oh, that lace pillow hurts.
the replacement pillows are gorgeous.
Congrats !! (not for owning those pillows, obviously, but for replacing them so stylishly).
The Thomas Paul pillows are so beautiful… let’s hope the contest opens to Europeans next year, I have a winner at home !
Pretty awful, kudos to the winners. They deserve new pillows agter giving those nightmares a home!
Haha..yes I voted for the lace one :)
Yikes! That lacey one is hideous!!!
Aren’t those geese, not ducks?
Still scary either way.
Congrats, girls! Please donate these asap…
Oh see, I am so sad, I think the stag pillow, with fringe, is kinda cool. The lace, however, yuk. Yuk. YUK!!
A deserving winner!!
i still sorta like that deer pillow. weird, maybe.
Sadly, I think I may have had that lace pillow when I was in third grade… oh the lace filled horror!
oh wow. those pillows are so ugly! Reminds me of something I’d see at an Aunt’s house and somehow be repulsed and intrigued at the same time…
Lovely new pillows! :)
Ok I just can’t help myself – I love the stag. It’s just so bizarre that it is completely and utterly compelling.
There, I said it.
So, so funny! The stag pillow reminds me of pillows my dad had and I remember my mom making lace potpouri pillows similar to the winner. I was even roped in as a pillow/ sachet maker.
Yay for the nice new pillows!
Whoah–scary polygamist stag!
I loved this competition:P
Scary polygamist stag with the rosy-fingered apocalypse descending in a black sky…
ha! that lace concoction is horrendous!
Ohhh I love lace terror!
I know someone above mentioned donating the “winning” pillows ASAP, but in this case, is it better to just let these pillows fly free? I don’t know if it’s nice to pass these pillows on. Perhaps donate them to an animal shelter where puppies and cats can have fun ripping, chewing and shredding?
You should post all of the entries for comedic value.
Man, I would take that stag pillow off Kristen’s hands in a heart beat. It’s super kitsch.
If anyone cares to see a hell-spawned FACE OF EVIL, look no further than that lace pillow. If you don’t focus on the little pink hearts sewn onto the center and, instead, let your eyes kind of relax (like with those “magic eye” pictures, the whole thing transforms into a hideous, skull-like visage, thanks to those dark patches of potpourri. That’s one unholy abomination of a pillow!
