It seems impossible that it’s already September, but with the onset of fall comes cooler temps and something I love to do in fashion and the home: layer. Layering adds so much depth and interest to a space, and while most guys cringe at the sight of one more pillow am I right? you never hear a guy say “what do we need a blanket for?”
Something that’s transitional at this time of year is perfect – breathable but substantial and Happy Habitat throws are just that. They’re made of recycled cotton right here in the U.S. and the designer just happens to be a KC girl as well. As you can see, the colors are rich and the patterns bold – just how I like it.
I couldn’t help but be drawn to the Royals throw. I love the subtle nod to my guys’ favorite team, and it’s washable and dryer safe too, great for little ones and outdoor activities picnics, hayrides, maybe even some baseball in October? THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. Karri has been kind enough to offer one of you a throw of your own! Simply visit her site and comment below (or email me) with your favorite design. I’ll pick a winner the end of this week.
And don’t forget, you have until midnight tonight to apply for the room makeover I’m offering with Lowe’s! Find more info HERE and you can apply HERE. Good luck!

Love the kenichi-parlor. But, truthfully love them all.

Kim says
Obsessed with the hippos in the sunny color!
Amanda says
What a fun giveaway! I have a blanket problem, I love them more than pillows! Thanks:)

I love the Alhambra throw in every color, but really, for a geometric pattern lover like me, they're all beautiful!
Kimberly Hannon says
The royals throw really is amazing! Chic and sporty don't often mix….and this will be perfect for October 😉 What a find! If only they had an abstract cardinals print. For my adult living room I'd pick the "apache- cobalt + sunny". Navy, yellow, and gold are my thing. Sunny space = sunny disposition.

Kayley says
I like the Angles – Neutral throw because it best matches my decor.

Kari Crum says
These are all gorgeous! I love the adana in blue smoke/pewter/black.
Chesters Chika says
Oooohhh!!! What an awesome giveaway! I was having trouble choosing until I saw the 'puff balls organic- natural'. That is totally a winner in my book! I love knobby, textural blankies- there's just something so terrific about curling up with all the knobbiness! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! =D
Kira Obermeier says
currently digging the kilim in paprika/coffee/linen/mushroom. solid neutral base with just enough color and pattern to keep it visually interesting. that said, i could wrap my naked self in any one of these and be content to stay there indefinitely 😉
Danielle Perkins says
magic number – paprika/soft coral/black/dove would be modern enough, but still adding so much cozy!
Anne Kaye says
Oh! It's so hard to choose! I will go with Cordoba Marine. They are beautiful.
kimberly torpey says
Oh my….I do love the Royals blanket. My grandsons would be over the moon on it. Go Royals!

It goes so well with your room, love blue and gold together. Aqua and yellow were my wedding color!

Thanks for the giveaway. Can't wait to see where you get to go for the Lowes challenge.
Laura says
That emerald gallery wall is perfection! You somehow always find the right balance between traditional, colorful, and eclectic.
I love the Pez Eco Throw- I've never been a big fan of pink, but lately I am loving it! Especially with that gold. I love the one you have on your son's bed as well but I didn't see that one on the sit.
Thanks to you and Karri for a fun giveaway!
