My Den: The Big Reveal

Meet Me in Philadelphia meetmeinphiladelphia.blogspot.com
This post has been a long time coming; but instead of expounding too much about it, I'll let the finished space speak for itself. Our den is finally "complete"--whatever that means. Elements in the room will definitely change over time but, for this moment in time, it feels very 'us'.

Take the full tour and be sure to share your thoughts! I'd really love to hear them.

So far, the best compliment we've received on the den came from our awesome carpenter, Rich. He called the room "right out of 'Town and Country' magazine". Little did he know that his words have made me chomping at the bit to share our den with you.

Tomorrow, be sure to come back for full details and sources for the items in the den!

What do you think? Worth the wait?

    Absolutely fantastic!! Love that you kept the knotty pine and made it Town & Country, like Rich said. The furnishings are great and I love all the texture you brought in.

    Ashley! It is so moody cozy perfect. I love the same tones for walls and fabric--like a cocoon. And that pine dresser is the best. We need more pine in our lives. Excellent work!

    Town & Country would be lucky to have you! Love how the room is wrapped in blue and those lamps that flank the sofa are beautiful. I love the ticking stripe ottoman and that dresser is so fantastic in its natural pine with the sweet chair next to it. So so fabulous!! I would like to move in now please. :)

    High fives! It's beautiful. I see a Miles Redd and Tom Scheerer influence through - Miles for the dark, moody color on the walls and Tom for the classic yet current pieces throughout. I'd love to see another photo of your window and window treatments - it looks like you get great natural light in this room. I'd also love to know if you grappled at all about the TV over the fireplace because I'm going back and forth with that decision right now. Great great work - I bet you're enjoying this room a lot. Is this your main hangout room when you guys are at home?

    Fabulous! What took my breath away was the woven peacock cushion. I was looking for 'peacock' on e-bay and just this minute I click on your link to come across the perfect cushion. Very nicely put together.

    Whoa! I'm almost speechless! The color on your walls is LUSCIOUS! And how you balanced that with all of your lighter fabrics and the gorgeous pine dresser? Yum! I love how your TV disappears. I love the ticking stripe on your ottoman. I love that urn filled with greenery. I love the way your drapes blend into the wall. Just a beautiful job here, Ashley. You're a talent!

    Oh my! Absolutely gorgeous. I'm dying over the wall color and painting the trim the same color was brilliant. Fantastic work.
