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

on
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 ...

Eme's Room Re-Do ~ Progress BUT Still Little Things To Do

on
So, I just keep plugging along on this bedroom re-do AND I must say that I've had so much fun looking for ideas, concocting ideas in my head and then putting these things together. I also don't think I've ever loved a wall color as much as I love this one ~ is it pale greenish or pale bluish or even both?!?! Unfortunately I can't really answer that or even share the name of it because I mixed a bunch of old paints together that we had to get this color....My way of saving $25 for a gallon of paint! I love saving money, though my husband my slightly disagree!

One of my other FAV's in this room is the old milk jug table turned Funky fabric table. As a seasmstress I have more scrap fabric than I can shake a stick at and so it began. I Mod Podged a tons of different scraps onto this base and attached a wooden circle table topper to create this fun table! My 14 year old son even said it was cool (that's a huge compliment coming from him because you know as mom I usually do stupid things) and didn't believe I made it.


I just wanted to show this fun table for now and will have a better picture later along with more pictures of the room. I hope to have it all done in about a week so I can move on to another room before our house is on the community Holiday Homes Tour....we shall see if that happens!
