Cozy Den Gallery Wall

With the addition of that cool rustic reclaimed wood entertainment center I bought at Homegoods, the den is really coming along now, so here are a few update pics to show you.  I’m still working on the other half of the room and there are things in the corner and stashed away in the front half of the room that are still there.

Long view den

It will be awhile before this room is completely done, but we do enjoy watching TV in here, my roommate and I.  At least this half of the room is really presentable.

new lamp and den

It’s a cozy space at night and if it gets too chilly, I have a little space heater that warms up this space.

glass lamp in den

I love how the new glass lamp fits right into my room and the burlap shade adds more texture.  This room is a mix of old and new, just the way I like it.

gallery wall over TV

Did you spot my gallery wall in the lamp giveaway post? 

I used some of my old prints and things collected from yardsales for a gallery wall over the TV.  Those antique shutters were found in Birmingham at an antique shop and I love how they flank this piece.

gallery wall

Fills up the wall with interesting things to look at.  Those harp-back chairs (from yardsales, naturally) I painted black a few years ago and added the leopard fabric and they fit in here just fine too.  I’ll be drilling a hole in that open space under the TV to run the cable box through and those boxes will be a little more hidden. Just haven’t done it yet.

My dad’s comment when he saw that reclaimed wood piece:  “did you find that on the side of the road somewhere?”.  That man, he’s a stitch.

Garage door

Looking back towards the stairs going up to the living room.  The door on the left goes down to the double garage.  Lots of stairs in this house, but so far it’s OK.

lamp and sewing machine

My grandma’s sewing machine is a family piece that I won’t get rid of and it serves as a little entry piece when coming in from the garage and fills up this little wall well.  I had all the accessories already, the lamp, mirror, vase, and shells.  Chair was a Homegoods find.

bird prints over sewing maching

Those bird prints, my sister gave me. She had ordered something from an online company and got an extra set of these prints, so passed them onto me.  I like them here with this grouping.

Update:  My sister got these bird prints from Daily Steal, a site that offers daily deals, so you might not be able to find it again.

Messy corner

One day, I’ll get around to fixing up this corner!  It’s still a bit of a mess, but it’s out of the way and I can live with it for awhile longer. Eventually, I’d love to do built in Billy bookcases from Ikea, so that’s on my list of projects to consider.  We’re about ready to start the screened porch soon, so I’ll be outside for the most part this year, sprucing this place up.  This corner can wait til later.

Once I finish my laundry room and porch, I’ll be using some of these accessories in both spaces too, so no need to get rid of it all now.  I do think I’ll have a yardsale in  April though, to get rid of a few things.

So stay tuned for that!  I might be joining some of my local blog friends for a big one, we’ve talked about that and if we pull it off, it will be pretty fantastic!

    I love all of the colors and textures together. So many people are afraid or don’t use color. I’m so happy when I see it!!! Great job!

    Your den is so cozy looking and definitely has that collected over time look. Lots of ideas with the gallery wall to incorporate in our basement TV room once we switch to a flat screen there.

    It all looks wonderful. Loving the bird prints, saw them on the Internet on sale a few days ago, myself. Can’t wait to see your back porch come to life! I’ve got one that needs work, also. Thank you for inspiring us!

    Rhoda, love the looks of your den. The space in your living room and family room is awesome! Liking the way you can have the sofa away from hugging the walls in both spaces!

    You continue to amaze me in how you make everything beautiful. I was waiting to hear what your dad’s comment was! I actually saw the piece at TJMaxx (owned by Homegoods). It really looks awesome in real life with all the textures and colors. 🙂

    So cozy. I admire how your accessorize a room. I’m still figuring out how to do that so it doesn’t look cluttered. Where did you find the side table next to the arm chair. It’s like a “c” table that can slide under a sofa. I’ve been on the hunt for an affordable one.

      HI, that little table came from World Market. I got it on sale for $69. You do put it together, but it’s the perfect little side table with a rustic wood top.

    Gorgeous mix of all things old and new! LOVE the addition of the entertainment center…I’ve had my eye on the same one in our Pennsylvania Homegoods! ps…I have developed a serious crush on the bird prints your sister gave you. Any idea of where I could find them? Thanks! xo

    Love the area with the sewing machine, I want those bird prints! Where did your sister find them?
    The storage area will be perfect for a built in, great project for next winter but knowing how fast you work it will be completed long before then.
    Seriously, when do you rest?

      Mary, I’ve really not done that much since Christmas. I got that gallery wall done in time for my open house, but haven’t done much since then. I’m gearing up for that screened porch, that will keep us busy for a couple of months.

      I’ll find out where the bird prints came from!

      Thanks Rhoda, I love the frames on the bird prints too. I can’t wait to see the porch come together, you inspired me to redo my little porch when you fixed up your deck in your previous home.
