the den: fabrics

i am slowly making progress on the den fabrics.

so far i have:

a yummy ralph lauren herringbone fabric 

(that i have had in storage for over 6 years.)

thom filicia's lawrence fabric in taupe

(purchased here)

a blue and yellow stripe 

(that i got for $3 a yard at fabric.com)

some amazing greek key trim in a denim blue (from here)

the octopus napkin that i blogged about here.

as sad as it is, we 

have to use our futon  in the room. 

(not exactly high-style, i know)

sometimes our two girls, whose bedrooms are in the basement,

get scared and come upstairs to sleep, so this room also 

needs to function as a makeshift bedroom. 

plus, i don't want to spend any $$

on a piece of furniture for that i 

don't KNOW i will be able to use in our next house.

i bought the futon cover from west elm about

three years ago, it was supposed to go in the 

bonus room/playroom of house #5.

(which, by the way, you have never seen before, so here goes:)

 i never got the chance to decorate this room.
(can you tell?! ha. ha.)

it was the place where all the furniture we didn't

know what to do with ended up.

but hey, you got to get a peek at

the incredibly awesome futon that will be going in the den! 

i am still deciding where i want each fabric to go...

i don't want to waste too much fabric on the window treatment,

since it will be staying with the house.

i also have a tiny bench and a little side chair that i plan on

fitting in the room.

hmm....

i'll keep you updated as i make progress.
