I started Ann Walters Home after having my second child and wanting to give my son something that felt meaningful—something he could keep, not just for a season, but for a lifetime. I couldn’t find exactly what I had in mind, so I made it myself: a personalized pillow that was both beautiful and lasting.

From there, this little idea grew. What began as a gift for my own child has turned into a collection of heirloom pillows designed to celebrate the ones you love most.

Every pillow is embroidered in my Ohio studio and sewn in Chicago, using classic patterns like gingham, delicate ruffles, and thoughtful details that feel both nostalgic and elevated. I believe in making things that matter—pieces that tell a story, that carry meaning, and that become part of a home.
