An orange throw for the living room


I've been hunting for an orange blanket for the living room. Easier said than done, since I wanted something attractive, preferably patterned, AND big-sized. I like to wrap myself up like a burrito, not just daintily cover my lap, you know? It's the best way to watch TV. (Side note: one of the greatest clips from Parks and Rec is a tour of Tom's apartment: it's blankie heaven.)

I found this organic cotton twin-sized blanket at my local Target. It's orange and beige with a geometric pattern, and my feet don't stick out. Perfect.

  1. PRETTY! Nice find!

    Sooo... it's for the living room... and you photo'd it in the parlour on the settee? Ha. Okay, I know... the parlour is a much brighter room. It does go nicely with that color, too. I bet you could even snuggle up there and just look out the window at your lovely-colored trees!

  2. Ha, you're on to me! Yes, the living room is sooo dark. Parlor was easier. And I do plan to use it there, too. I'll probably just drag it around with me like Linus.

  3. I've also been looking for an orange blanket for my home. I came across this one, but was skeptical of the fabric.

    Fill us in-- is it soft? Does it keep you warm?

    I wish we could all just escape to Tom's apt...

  4. It definitely keeps me warm. It's not soft, though. It's not scratchy or anything, but it's not a plush or fleecy texture at all, which would have made it AMAZING. But it's good enough for me.

  5. Oh, how I wish we had target here in Europe - I have been looking for a blanket exactly like this - to go with my orange rug!
