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 ...

We have moved and organizing has begun!  We have about half of our things in storage, and I'm wondering if I will realize that I don't need any of that "stuff" after our year in the giant tiny house?!?!  We are hoping to break ground in August on our build but right now we think we are really going to enjoy living smaller!  

 In other news,  I just LOVE this holiday and everything it represents! I am so proud and thankful to be an American!  My annual July 4th home pic lfor IG ooks a bit different this year ~ no longer is it the big brick home on the corner sporting her HUGE flag flying on her front. This year I introduce and welcome you to the Chestnut, our little home in town as we build our new home in the country!  Happy 4th July, I hope you all have a blessed and safe holiday/holiday weekend!
