Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

I just LOVE Christmas and my Trees! ~ Sew off the Subject

Some would say that I'm obsessed others don't say anything at all even though they are probably thinking it......I love Christmas and Christmas Trees! I have 14 full size 6ft trees, all themed and absolutely love each one of them. I start putting them up the say after Halloween just so that I can be finished by December 1 and we can enjoy them the whole month through.

I have tried for years to take pictures of each and none of the pics do them justice. I have finally been able to capture a few in their glory (while I still don't think there is justice in the photos) through photo-shopping. Here are just a few of the ones just hanging around our house =)
