Extreme Makeover, Den edition

I know I've been a slacker lately, but I promise I will try to do better at posting! Like I had mentioned before, we are SLOWLY doing a little of a remodel around our house. I painted this room, our den probably a year ago, but we had not done much of anything else until recently, so I did not want to post pictures (except of our Christmas Tree) of this room, simply because I was embarrassed about the nasty carpet. But anyway, I'm almost done in here, just need to do a window treatment, hang a new ceiling fan, make some throw pillows for the couches, and hang pictures on the walls. Oh, and stain and put together the square coffee table I just got.
When I put the flooring down it REALLY made a difference, and it finally feels like home in here!
Take a look-sie at some before and after pics. I'm usually horrible about starting a room, and forgetting to take a before photo, so when we bought this house, before we even moved in I took pictures of every room, knowing full well, that each and every one was gonna get a make over!

Yeah, I know, it was NASTY!!! But it has good bones!






























And after (almost!)



















Hubby's new T.V. Yep, I know, just a little bit BIG!









































MY NEW COUCH! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! It is not as red/orange looking in person, it's a medium brown color. we were unsure about these when we saw them on Sams Club website just because of this, but they sent a sample, and it is a beautiful brown! Also, this is the first time we've ever gotten furniture (much less paying this price) from an online store without ever even sitting it it first. I searched all over for sectionals, and most of them just were not compfy, but this one, it is really soft, and well, LOVE IT!













Leather kids club chair that I won! Isn't it too cute? Thanks again Mary Ellen!!!




















Now, HOPEFULLY I'll be able to get more done soon, and post those pics too!

Love it. It looks so warm and inviting. Did you do a paint technique on the walls? It looks like a color wash or something. Just gorgeous!

K,
I used a roller with a texture on it, it actually has two small rollers on one handle, and it came with a split tray for the two colors. You can hardly tell in the pics, but it gives it a leather looking texture.
