We had to move around some stuff to accommodate a few new pieces, which hopefully I’ll get around to thinking more about soon. A casualty of the updates in the bedroom was the womb chair. It hadn’t fit so well in the den’s previous incarnations, but now with the shorter chesterfield and missing wall unit, this thing fits like a champ. Well, a champ sans the ottoman; the ottoman is surprisingly tall and sadly too big for this small space.
The womb chair is possibly the perfect TV watching chair. So comfy. So lounge-y. So pretty. It’s like a La-Z-Boy with actual aesthetic style.
Slowly an methodically, I’ve been trying to get the den details right. So, why not toss a portrait of a coral lipped gasping lady into the mix?
I procured her gaspyness off Summer during the big sale and it was love at first open-mouthed neck grab.
I’d been looking around for something to throw up on the walls and when the womb came in she just sort of meandered in here as well. I enjoy imagining that she is incredibly offended by what’s on TV, which knowing our taste, is probably pretty offensive.
I’d still like to add a fiddle leaf fig, some more art, a few accessories, maybe paint the top potion of the wall a light gray, add some new pillows, hang the tv and get the desk in order. Lots more still to do as always.
I tend to spend most of my time in the den, working on the computer and such, so I think it’s probable that all the extra exposure has made me laser focus in on this room and overly adjust things to try and get it just right (desperately want this room done and over with so I can relax and stop worrying about it). Apologies for den-palooza as of late, but it’s so hot outside that it’s killing my motivation for outdoor projects.
Also, it’s Friday so that means a couple new things are up in the BHM SHOP. Firstly, an incredible and super rare Sarreid Ltd. brass chest from the 1970′s and Spain. Secondly, a sassy rust colored Milo Baughman swivel club with chrome base and extra comfortablness. Check out these and soon to end items HERE.
I’m actively attempting to keep the less than exciting shop posts to a minimum. Summers are rough around here, they are stupidly hot and energy robbing and make me want to hide inside and ignore all the house projects. Of course things have also gotten super busy and any free time is spent working, trying to cool off or getting as far out of town as possible. Looks like the summer lull might be in full effect for realzzz.
Have a great weekend homies! Eat something super terrible for you and kiss a baby animal. ON THE MOUTH.

Yay! First to comment! Here’s an idea, instead of one ugly portrait why not do a whole gallery of them just above the Chesterfield? Love the womb chair, brings a bit of colour into the den (well my idea of colour anyway). LOVE the orange lounge chair. Here in Oslo it’s 10 degrees C and pouring rain
Yup, adding more art is the idea. Just waiting for those right pieces! Someday.
Womb chair in den: Yippeeeeeee!!!! It’s great. Should you need to get rid of the leather ottoman, I’d be more than happy to give it a good home . . .
Does kissing a baby animal include my one-year-old Lab?
” ..it was love at first open-mouthed neck grab” Hilarious!
Oh I can’t believe you didn’t keep that swivel club chair… Its looks so comfy and awesome in the photo! Nice pieces.
I’m so in love with that chest.
I wonder – what pieces you would design with if you had an unlimited budget? If you could have a room with anything – what would be in it?
Wouldn’t be in this house for sure.
i love that you watch things that would offend her but she kind of freaks me out a bit(in a good way). if she were in my home i would feel the need to pat her on the back or hand her an oxygen mask.
love the womb chair in there!
it’s looking very cole porter stylish now (this is a compliment, as in you’re the top, you’re the louvre musuem….).
the cushions and the womb chair are perfect. the other things you suggest make my heart sing. and the idea that the womb chair and the mini-me chesterfield ottoman are as comfy as the single most hideous piece of furniture ever conceived is a real blow for freedom.
we are unworthy.

Uhggggg -HIDEOUS. That’s the worst painting you’ve had yet. Each to his own I guess. The pups looks adorable as always though.
By worst you mean the coolest, right? That’s what I thought.
Love the chest….it’s just right for my newly redone bedroom.
I feel like she’s chocking on a popcorn kernel, while watching TV and being deeply offended.
Oof- watching the Sarreid. I just picked up 2 of the exact same chests on SF CL for super cheap. If the price doesn’t go too high….3 s a charm.
Where did the Womb ottoman go? it is the best chair to watch TV in, I got a Pea Green one last time we ordered furniture. We are ordering again June 30th let me know if you want anything
I think we should call her “Asphyxiating Madonna”
Her coloring isn’t so good, either. Maybe she’s in the final throes of death by arsenic poisoning?? I still say she looks like an Alfred Hitchcock character.
Sorry but I’m not liking these 4 pieces together. Not easy on the eyes (my eyes).
The womb chair looks great in the den! It definitely helps to break up the brown and the chrome is a nice juxtaposition to the leather pieces. Is it wrong that when I get married I want to register for a womb chair?! Oh, if only we all had an unlimited budget…
dayum. that chest is rad. i still want to punch myself for passing on a similar one at my thrift. love the womb chair in the den too…
So I was thinking about ordering something from your store, but I couldn’t picture a coffee table or chair making it all the way to FL in good condition… Maybe you should do a post on how you pack things up to ship to ease my mind… and perhaps others who may be hesitant to order…?
I would be afraid to walk past the room late at night to get a glass of water and catch her out the corner of my eye, not gasping, but looking right. at. me.
My gosh, I love your sense of humor.
