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 ...

My Darling Daughters 2014 Easter Basket

So I just LOVED how this "basket" turned out! My boys have just tubs filled with candy and eggs stuffed with lotto ticks and cash since they are high schoolers BUT my daughter has been begging for a Vera Bradley backpack and told me that she just knew the Bunny would bring her a new backpack! I posted about his here. Well after scoring some CUTE CUTE stuff, all new with tags on Ebay, the bunny by golly got her a backpack. Here is what she will wake to in the morning.......
