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 ...

So I am really loving this whole small house living!  As much as I cried over selling our big old family home in order to build a custom home, I can't believe how much at home this house feels!

Anyhoo, I did put the majority of our antiques into storage but am looking forward to the day I see them again and decorate our new home with them.  In the mean time, I am having so much fun decorating this home.  Some of my favorite things are linked here to Amazon ... how doesn't love and.or order from Amazon these days =)


I can't even tell you how much we love this tripod floor lamp. I had been spying one at a higher end store for quite some time and never could bring myself to pull the trigger since I didn't really even know where I would put it.  Once we got here I knew exactly where it would go BUT then found a dupe on Amazon, click HERE to shop it.

My other fabulous Amazon find was this slip cover for my red.white gingham wing chair.  The pattern didn't go with this new house and I didn't want to buy anything as I know I want new furniture for our build.  I needed something cheap, cute and easy  to get us through the next year and this slip cover did the trick PERFECTLY!  I researched the poo out wing chair slipcovers and tried several before finding  this one.  Click HERE to shop it and then let me know whatcha think if you purchase it too!
