This is the blanket everyone fights over on our couch, soft on both sides and a cream color that goes with everything. It washes well and somehow gets softer each time.

The arch shape makes a small room feel twice as big, and the slim gold frame reads elegant without being flashy. I lean mine against the bedroom wall and it bounces daylight around beautifully.
