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 ...

The one room I get asked about more than any other is Eme's Room ....

I'm sure people ask because her room has ALWAYS  been one of my (if not the #1) favorite rooms in our house.  I shared her room often when we were in the brick house and even the cottage we were in for a year while building.  I haven't shown it much and I haven't spent much time in or on it since we moved because she is now a teenager and wants to do it herself.  As hard as that is for me to let go of since I love decorating her room (2 boys first will make a mom want to deck out that little girls room (and clothes) like none other!) , I have stayed away from doing anything in there.  


Well that's not entirely true ... I did spend 26 hours of my life hand painting each of these gold dots on her wall! And that was only because she/we found a wallpaper that we both LOVED. It was all these hand painted gold metallic dots but the paper was about $300 per roll and I needed 5 to do this wall ðŸ˜± Needless to say momma got out the brush, gold paint and went to work.  In all truthfulness, we were in a pandemic so it was therapeutic and I had the time to spare.


Anyhoo, I am hoping that we can actually do some decorating in here over the summer but my hopes aren't to high on that ~ between sport camps and practices she isn't home an awful lot.  So here are the deets of what's in here so far and fingers crossed that I might be able to share this again with more decor deets =)

Bed ~ Hayneedle but of course Amazon has a similar one (legs + color shade is different) at a better price.

Lamps ~ Ballard Designs pink is discontinued but they still have white! Now Amazon has t
his set which is similar is design style, much more budget friendly and comes with the shade!

White quilt and shams ~ Pottery Barn 

Euro shams ~ PB Teen

Pink velvet quilt ~ Target naturally the blush pink is no longer available BUT they have a ton of other jewel tone colors. If you are really needing/wanting pink though (which I would) here is a great alterative from Amazon that is the similar crushed velvet! 

Ruffle comforter ~ One Kings Lane but hers is discontinued, this is similar but it's a duvet.  ALTHOUGH leave it to Amazon to have one almost identical to hers!

Night stand dressers ~ Ikea

Feather Lamp ~ Wayfair but Overstock and Amazon (cheapest) has them too

Geo lumbar pillow ~ Anthropologie but I've had this pillow for years.
