Father/Daughter Den

Fireplace Surround and Mantel–$20
To give the fireplace a more symmetrical look the large cabinet door on the right side of the fireplace is cut in half vertically. The upper half of the door is moved to the lower left side of the fireplace to match the lower right. A new paneled door is placed over the cabinet where the door was removed to cover the hole and to blend in seamlessly with the rest of the wall. A mantel is added above the fireplace for horizontal balance.

Chair Rail–$10
Molding is hung around the perimeter of room to create a chair rail.

Wall Paint–$54
The walls are given a two-tone treatment: a cream color is painted below the chair rail and blue above the chair rail.

Drapery–$36
Existing hardware is used to hang new linen drapery, and new finials are added to update the look.

Glass-Topped Tables–$70
A tag-sale table becomes the new coffee table after some special details are added, like a blue-painted base and a stenciled glass top. Stick letters are adhered to the underside of the glass (making sure the letters are facing in the correct direction). Then the table is sprayed with fogging. When the glass is dry the stencils are removed and the glass is flipped over and placed in the table base. Another tag-sale table is painted with a faux linen treatment and used as an accent table.

CD Cabinet–$10
A CD storage cabinet is hung horizontally above the daybed.

Accent Pillows–$39

Accessories–$133

Total Cost–$495
