Now that the painting was done, the desk and shelves were up, and the house was almost finished, the Den went into speed mode. We worked on a bunch of different projects. One of my favorites is this project design board. It used to be my old roommate's headboard that I picked up for her at a salvage shop for 10 bucks!
I just added cork and foam core to the back and bought pins to stick fabrics in it. I use it to plan out projects for clients. Currently I have all the fabrics for one client's custom window treatments on the top right, and on the bottom right is the chair, and window treatment fabrics I picked out for a different client. Top left fabrics are NAFASI favorites! Contact me if you're interested in any!
A sweet little end table just makes the room. I picked up this one at Goodwill for $4. It was exposed cork and wood and needed paint. I spray painted the top and legs black:
And then taped off and painted the bottom half with dipped cream legs:
How great did it turn out!!?
The LAST piece we needed, that I was avoiding the most because it was not happening organically like everything else, was our art. We needed something big over over sofa. I wanted to keep a Scandinavian appeal to the Den, so the artwork needed to have a minimalistic look. I loved this one:

| Portrait of A Highland Cow |
Patrick liked it, but he wanted something that had more meaning to us. Also, this piece just wasn't quite big enough to give us that oomph we needed. So we played around with our animal, and made something all our own. This is not the shot we ended up going with- I'll save that for the next and final blog reveal- but I loved this one too:
It's called, In Focus. ;)
So come back Friday and read the next blog we've ALL been waiting for- the final reveal!! :) And then we'll have to throw a big party or something!! Thanks for reading!
Love,
Teri
