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 ...

 Ok so if I haven't mentioned this before (I think I have) here it is again .... when we built our "green-clean house"  and moved from our beloved 100+ year old not very efficient home, we made the switch to live as clean + green as we can.  We have started out small by continuing to recycle and upcycle whenever and whatever we can.  I have switched out almost all of our health + beauty products for organic as well as biodegradable containers, even our toothpaste + brushes joined the enviro party.  But the first to go was in our new home was my beloved candles. 


Now don't get me wrong I still love a good candle smell and will cave every once in a great while but I'm definitely team diffuser!  I love my oils and they are so helpful for more than just diffusing (see Young Living link on the right) but I equally LOVE anything from Lucid Candle Company (see my post here about this amazing company).  So when I collabed with them I also received their Linen + Seagrass scented oil to go along with my refillable candles and I can't even tell you HOW MUCH I LOVE IT!  I love it so much I added a few drops to my diffuser and that was the end of that, I was hooked and have now ordered about 10 bottles in just a few months! Now for a day made even more heavenly drop 5 of YL Peace + Calming to 5 drops Linen+SeaGrass in your diffuser, sit back and relax ~ ahhhh DAY MADE! @lucidcandle
