home tour

new home tour: basement

People have been asking for a home tour of our new home, and we’re finally getting unpacked and able to share bits and pieces with you! I’m going to share in pieces, since otherwise we’d have a wayyyy too long post. Let’s start with the kids’ favorite room: the basement!

My kids have been fascinated with basements for years. Probably because we never had one. Whenever we went to a house with a finished basement, the kids would only want to play there! So we were thrilled that our new place had one.  The basement has 4 rooms – 3 small unfinished/utility type rooms and one finished room. The previous owners left the projector system for us, so we now have one kick-butt movie room!

I found these vintage travel posters from movie locations online. Aren’t they SO SUPER COOL?? (I’m extremely proud of these)

The kids have their own little play area, complete with train table (that is currently a Lego Friends World) and this AMAZING organization system by IKEA.

And – Elizabeth’s favorite part – the cupboard under the stairs! Just like Harry Potter’s. 🙂 We made ours a reading nook!

And the hallway back to the laundry room (complete with a pile of dirty laundry) has a bulletin board that we’re already filling up with works of art!

So there’s the first peek! Enjoy!
