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 ...

 1. Start With Summer-Themed Invitations

             



2. Stick to a Red.White.Blue Color Scheme
             Patriotic Decor Bundle



3. Stick the Summer Classics for the Menu

Your Memorial Day party menu should feature all-American classics. Maximize your time outdoors by hosting a BBQ where you can cook everything on a grill. Stick to a simple menu of burgers, hot dogs, skewers, and grilled vegetables. If you're planning a grill-free picnic instead, bring a few sandwich options with a pasta or potato salad, watermelon slices, and chopped vegetables with hummus.
