Thank you all so much for your positive comments and lovely feedback x I feel a bit overwhelmed as previously, many years ago I was put down with my choices. Thanks, I’m ok with my own validation now but appreciate your feedback x in my happy place now and sending love ❤️

Beautiful and so cozy! Can I come and live with you? 😁

LushLemonTart · 28/10/2025 22:32

It's lovely. I need to get some autumnal cushions.

I'm happy you're in a good place 🍁🍂🎃

Lovely, I’ll just pop myself next to the lamp and read the latest Thursday Murder Club, if that’s okay with you op 😊

Sorry but the black and orange make a nice room look tacky. Just the orange cushions on their own would have warmed the place up. The dark cushions and throw over the seat bit (why?!) are not a good look.

Well, I think it's gorgeous and wish it was my living room. Happy autumn snuggling!

Conniebygaslight · 28/10/2025 22:46

Ooh, I’m with you.

I need to know what it smells like. I'm imagining cinnamon/apple?

Ooh, I’m with you.

And another fluffy poppet! I approve!

Ah this is such a lovely thread, and your dog is the cutest

LemonLadybird · 28/10/2025 23:06

I love it OP! Very cosy indeed 🥰 love this time of year.

Theresabatinmykitchen · 28/10/2025 23:06

OP your living room looks so warm and inviting, I do love autumnal colours, you can tell it’s a calm and happy home, a haven for you and your lovely dog! Glad you can decorate as you please after all those years.

Another lovely room and another lovely dog! Loving this thread!

Beautiful 🍁

It looks warm, comfortable and welcoming - without being “overdone” on the autumn theme. And your dog is the most perfect accessory for any season.

I think it’s wonderful that you’ve created a space for yourself that you love. Even more so, given what you’ve left behind you.

Just remember - YOU have created this space and the joy you find in it. Nothing better than reminding yourself of that.

I would happily rock up at your place on a blowy autum evening, armed with a bottle of red, to kick back and relax - dog cuddles would need to be guaranteed though!

Boudy · 29/10/2025 07:28

I agree..looks so calm and cosy. I like the way you have a rolled up blanket/ fleece for extra cosiness if required. AND your little pal..perfect.

aLFIESMA · 29/10/2025 09:04

It's beautiful, wishing you and your dear little friend the loveliest of times x

Hi, bottle green, not black. Throws are to protect sofas from my beloved doggie x have a lovely evening 😊
