Home Decor Success: The Den

Remember how I was all "I'm redoing the den" and I was all "I really love this rustic look from the HGTV Dream Home 2007"?

Well, I do.

But, it turns out, I love bright and eclectic more. (y'all should see my guest bedroom)

So, here was the inspiration:
And, here's what we ended up with.

I have no idea.

Although, I did manage to include blue in the color scheme and did the whole four prints in black frames on the wall.

Not exactly the rustic lodge look I'd planned, but, I love it. It's "me" (I credit/blame bff R for convincing me to buy the blue and red pillow which started this whole downward spiral)

And the husband hasn't noticed a damn thing has changed. Boys.

(please excuse the crappy Blackberry photo and the fact that I couldn't be bothered to close the bathroom door...tacky) (maybe one day I'll actually take a nice picture of the den so you can see the curtains and my amazing vintage lamp) (don't hold your breath)

I love solid colored couches with color pop pillows! I think we have similar decor taste. I can't wait to move in and decorate my and Weez's future home (two months!) :)

I love yours more! I do the same thing - find inspiration, look and hunt and re-do...and it really looks nothing like the inspiration! It's happened in my entire house!
