cozy retreat for Valentine

Do you decorate your house for Valentine's day?

Or just enjoy the idea sans decoration?

I fall mostly on the later group.

But this year, I decided to make us a cozy retreat,
thanks to the little deer embroidery....

(pattern from luli)

It all started when I chose some new bed linen
as an anniversary present, just before Thanksgiving:

a full set of flannel sheets and duvet cover,

from the Martha Stewart collection,

getting 60% off was the only reason we went that fancy,

but we have been sleeping so well....

it seems totally worth it!

With all the creams and reds in the room,

it seems almost ready, it just needed a little push...

and nothing better than a reindeer pillow to accomplish my desire for a cozy retreat.
I think it is neither too feminine neither manly,
(there are after all two people sleeping there...and a few dogs!)
and corresponds to our personality.

Happy sewing!
