{The good kind of mayhem}
One of my favorite parts of all of the mayhem though- besides my boys- is always project installations!! Installations really bring on the pressure... Ours aren't typically as crazy as the ones on TV with the family driving home for the big reveal as the last accessory gets placed, but they can come close to that. It's the day where so many little details need to fall into place so that your plans can be fully realized. I want my clients to walk home to "home" and be in love with it.
Last week we installed a couple of rooms in our clients' home and today I wanted to share the husband's den with you. Before I show you the pictures, I have to tell you what an awesome couple (and parents!) my clients are. There's just so much love between them and they're just so cool. Seeing them together is like seeing people you just know are meant to be together. I don't often work closely with both a husband and a wife (it's usually the wife) so I've really enjoyed getting to know them as a couple. Anyway, there's a small den off of the foyer that the husband has been dreaming of turning into one of those great old causal, masculine rooms where he can relax, read, have drinks with a friend, etc. I loooove projects like these because it's different from what we often work on and in this case, we got to really have some fun with it. Here's what the den looked like before:
We were keeping the sofa and the leather chair (which is a recliner) but we got to change pretty much everything else:

We wanted the room to be a warm, cozy & darker space that sort of cut you off from the rest of the house when you were in it. I wanted the walls & ceiling to sort of cocoon you when you were in there. We started the plan with a plaid wallpaper on the ceiling:
