Looks super cozy, like you could never possibly be stressed out there. Definitely pinning some of these shots as inspiration for my next move.

And I love the advice "Get rid of everything you don't love — if it is not a yes, it's a no."
- definitely words to live by!

I'd have gone high gloss as well, and swapped that strange pillow for something white with a nice embroidery of a deer on it, cliche yes, but the excessive fur takes care of ensuring it's not an over used idea.

QUIET HOUSES

If you don't stitch the handkerchiefs to the backing they will slip down and sag in the frames. Paper is not a sufficient backing material since that too will sag in the frame with fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

You can get white foam core or colored mat to back the handkerchief, which you can get at a craft store or frame shop fairly cheaply, if the frame is really thin, avoid foam core. Just know the dimensions of your frame or bring them with you before you get them cut.

You need a very hearty needle, a smaller needle and some light clear nylon thread to sew the handkerchief to the mat board. A few stitches at each corner should be sufficient for most handkerchiefs, and if you put the stitches in at the hem of the handkerchief, in the direction of those stitches, they will be hardly noticeable.

Use a bigger needle to pierce the mat board once you've decided where to put your stitches, go one corner at a time, it helps to use something to weigh the handkerchief down while your figuring out where to put your stitches. Then use the smaller needle to sew it down, just like a two hole button.

And measure, measure and re-measure to make sure you're sewing it down square to the mat board!
