almost there...

Do you remember this post when I was trying to decide if I should go with these lovely sconces... Or these fabulous cabinet doors... The cabinet doors stayed as they filled in the space better. So many of you suggested that I use both, layering the sconces right on the doors. I thought it was a great idea but the sconces were too heavy. So with the layering look in mind I hunted for just the right accessory. One of my favorite sellers on ebay, Amy of itsallaboutjack, had these great frames with the lovely script up for auction and I won... I just love them ~ even though one of the scripts was inserted upside down! I do not think anyone will notice but me. Thank you Amy!! How do you think it looks...

I finally got to Ikea and bought another pair of drapes to match the ones in my living room... The den opens up into the living room so I thought I should have the same look and I love these curtains. Light and airy with a bit of texture to them. They are sooo long but they give you some tape to iron on to hem them to size then you just cut off the excess. I like the puddled look though. Still looking for a little something to hang above each door. See the pillow on the chair... I have been wanting to get a monogrammed pillow so when I saw this I had to get it. The "F" works for us and I figured the "X" could stand for all of us or a relative that has passed it along. Yes, my family is still laughing at me. The other monogram they had was "MO". The bin was filled with just those two, guess I missed something. The little makeover my den has been getting is almost there. My love seat was covered in a blue twill slipcover from Pottery Barn that I need to list on ebay... I bought this lighter, softer one at Bed Bath and Beyond... I got the wonderful vintage mantel mirror on ebay... Look at the shade on this vintage oil lamp... I kept my eggs out for some spring touches. I love the colors which are in the pillow too...
While I like the little cabinet I have my printer on... The desk has got to go...Look what I found to replace it... I love this! Of course it is going to get a dreamy white makeover. I am hoping that Jim will be able to do something so we have the sliding drawer for the keyboard. Just look at the detail... I am joining Faded Charm for White Wednesday today, thank you Kathleen for hosting! While I am almost there with my little den makeover I am sure I will get some more inspiration peeking at all the other posts. I know you will be inspired too! Thank you for stopping by...see you soon!
