Den….Then and Now
Sorry to go so quiet on you last week. Didn’t want you to think for one second that I was slacking off over here. Nope. Not me.
Between hubby recovering from his surgery, me getting over a nasty head cold (of all weeks to get sick) and just the norm of life, school, scouts, dance, soccer…repeat, thought I would share a project that I have been trying to ‘tackle’ for the last month.

If you follow me on instagram you may have seen some snippets of my den. I am finishing up on the trim this week ( I use to love painting trim and now realize how timestaking and tedious it is! )
This is the space right outside my kids bedrooms, the Den. Its where a fair amount of TV watching, reading and game playing takes place. It’s taken about 13 years of living in this house to bring this space to it’s full potential. And with a new sectional that I bought over the summer from IKEA, its no longer that space that gets ‘the stuff’ that other rooms don’t want …whether it wants to or not.
Here’s a few renditions of the space over the years.
The last one makes me laugh…cry and reminiscence. Full blown zoo. And although I miss those days where the den looked like a nursery, and then struggled to find it’s identity, I sure am glad were at the place we are at now.
Home sweet den.
More pictures when I wrap it up.
Have a great week!
grateful
for a healing hubby
So fun to see all of the changes to your den over the year and loving it's new look and coastal feel. Hope you and your hubby are felling much better this week!
Wow, love the new sectional. Looking good.
Beautiful! And what fun to see the changes over the years. Hope you are feeling better!

That den has seen many changes over time…it's beautiful:) I loved the denim slipcovers! Glad to hear everyone is recovering:D
Wow…am I even going to recognize anything? Looks great!
I love it! I knew I would. It has a light and airy feel. Perfect for play or entertaining.
Love seeing the changes. I wish I took pics back then like we do now with our cells. Your den is looking great—love te rug. Funny enough, I've been working on mine for a few month, waiting for the new furniture has taken awhile and now I'm trying to figure out what I want on the walls. I'm picky like that. Then I'll post.
Thanks for popping over. I hope to get another post up tomorrow—I'm recovering from a broken arm so where I used to post 3X a week, I'm lucky if once. 🙁

I love the latest look of your den! It looks so pretty yet casual and comfortable. Hope you all are doing better after such a stressful week.
You've come a long way baby, I mean den! It looks great! I hope your hubby is doing great and you and your head cold!

Love seeing the "evolution," your Ektorp is the perfect addition! Awesome colors, too. I hope your hubby is feeling better, and that you are, too (can't be a sick nurse, now can you)?!
I love the new look!….great job and yes, my favorite look too….Glad the Ikea sofas worked out well…they look wonderful…
hubby rolls his eyes at the mention of IKEA but surprisingly he thinks it works in the den. I ended up buying that other chair but it is shorter in the house then it looked in the showroom so it’s in the den too. ikealand.
