Colorful Den via Southern Living

I have a vague recollection of seeing this den design in the December 2010 issue of Southern Living, but seeing as how I can't stop obsessing over anything in that minty-jade colorway, it bubbled up to my attention because I adore the paint color and how it is mixed with greens, pinks and tans.

This space is what I consider the perfect cozy den with lots of color but very comfortable and easy on the eyes. I especially love the design board - all the bits look so pretty together. FYI, the wall paint is Dix Blue (82) by Farrow and Ball - it's a little more aqua than mint, but I still love it. Especially since it's such a nice contrast to the rest of the room (the color is only picked up in 2 pillows and slight flecks in the curtains, but it all works so well).

Does anyone know the fabric that is on the pillow in the very bottom right-hand corner of the first picture (the brown/cream fabric)? It's also at the very top of the design board. I love it.

Also note the use of a large circular rug...I don't see that very often, but it's perfect in this space.

What do you like about the room?
