With two feet of record breaking snow headed straight for my house today, my thoughts have turned to staying warm and toasty this wintry weekend in the nation's capitol. I am a huge fan of throws-I have them all over the house. Some of my tips:
1. Cashmere-Williams-Sonoma Home has wonderful quality and colors.
2. Mohair-Ralph Lauren's are luscious.
3. Hermes are gorgeous but pricey.
4. Choose dramatic colors to make a design statement-no need to go boring or matchy matchy.
5. Please don't fold them neatly-a pet peeve of mine-artfully toss like these great examples by interior designer Joe Nye.

That's why they call them a "throw" right? Love the photos.
Okay, I'm beginning to think you and I have a lot in common! My top three home accessories would be throws, trays and vases! I was just at the NYIGF and saw some truly amazing throws that I plan to incorporate in my future design. Keep warm this weekend!
Love the way they are puddled on the furniture! Very artistic.
I bought a cashmere throw while on vacation in Australia recently. My husband talked me into it and it is the most snuggly throw ever. I am sure we will all be fighting over it this weekend!
My family loves throws...we have a house in NH that gets tons of snow and in the negative degrees, so it is always nice to have a throw to "throw on" when you get a little chilly...
I have throws everywhere. Faux Fur, Chenille, knits, etc. I do not have a cashmere one and would love it!

Oh and I adore what you have done with the JC Penney Trellis Stool!
I,too, have throws everywhere but the white Ralph Lauren Cashmere is not for the cat, China.
I never travel without a throw. It is the one thing always lacking in a rented apartment or hotel room, it seems. Can't live without that cozy feeling.

Appletree-Exactly.
Hamptontoes-Three home essentials for sure.
Theresa-Such a sumptuous look.
Susie-Stay warm-we are buried.
CC-I bet you have them everywhere.
Karena-The more the merrier with throws and glad you like the stool.
GraysonFavour-My dog keeps stealing my Ralph Lauren ice blue mohair throw right off the couch.
Catherine-What a smart idea. I always bring scented candles, but will add this for travel as well.
So you are in the artfully tossed camp. I like both looks but I must be honest I fold neatly it just looks better in my enviroment. I can toss artfully though in the right enviroment and actually have done it for many a client. Interesting thoughts on the subject,Kathysue
Kathysue-It is quite funny-I'm sure most people have never thought about this subject.
