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 ...

Outdoor Living Room deets ~ Shop my Home and Collabs

on

One of the features we love about our new home is the outdoor living room.  We never had a very big outdoor space in our previous house but we loved spending time in the space we had, it was cozy but wasn't big enough for a lounge area.  We could have had either a lounge or dining space and we chose dining.  Now with our new home we made sure to incorporated both!  

Last week was unseasonably warm here so we started getting our outdoor living room set up for all the outdoor living! After arranging the furniture, there was the space under the TV that was just off, it needed a console table or something similar. Then as luck would have it Vasagle Furniture sent us this awesome industrial wood top,  black metal console table and it was exactly what I was envisioning for this space! 


I LOVE that the table has that industrial vibe, the black works wonderful with our white house and black trim!  



Then Family Gifts Co. gifted us this great Teel Homestead Co sign which it filled the space between the table and TV.




And the Bomcosy sent us these great string lights, they are smaller than my old ones and soooo long at 100ft!   
So now we are ready to spend family movie night in our outdoor living room!
