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 ...

Paper Lantern.Pom Pom Mobile ~ Eme's Room Re-Do

Oh MY this thing took me an hour and half to get right and it still isn't as full as I thought it would be......

So Eme had a tulle canopy above/around her bed but when she saw a pic of the paper lantern/pom pom  mobile on Pinterest (Click Here to see which one it was) she was hooked!  So we ordered 12 assorted colors and styles of these from Luna Bazaar, I attached them using their "hooks" with fishing line and WALLA ~ our mobile!

To be honest I thought it would be wider with that many but.....considering these are all attached together with 1 line and fastened to a plant hook, I think we did pretty good (it did take me over an hour to get them where and how I wanted them though), we also have 10 foot ceilings so it is longer than wider which works out perfect for us!
