Adding Some Finishing Touches to our Den



We finally added some finishing touches to our den. We've been searching and searching for the right ottoman for the space. I'd found several different ones that were close to what I had in my mind but either not quite the right size or were more than I wanted to spend. I really didn't want to make one because I didn't like the idea of having two ottomans so similar in rooms that are right next to each other. However, we've been spending more and more time in here lately and I decided to just throw in the towel and go ahead and make one using the same technique as the one I did for our family room. It's roughly the same length as our gray one but quite a bit wider - this one is 60" long and 34" wide. I think our other one is about 24" wide.

Then we moved the Birch Lane wingback chairs into this room - they are much more comfortable than the ones we had in here which really makes me want to keep them in here, and I LOVE how they look against the dark walls! However, I really love them in our dining room too, so I'm torn on which spot I am going to keep them. And then I found this table from Joss and Main that fit perfectly between the chairs.





The throw on the ottoman, the gold mirrored tray and the lamp are all some of my favorite HomeGoods finds and I love being able to clip fresh branches from the trees outside. Oh how I love spring! 

























I hope you all have a fabulous week!
