I went shopping the other day....and these are the pieces that spoke to me. I love painted wood....and to me these painted boxes are just what my basement needs. One of the big problems with my basement (which is a family room and my office) is that I never really decorated it. It was basically just an accumulation of furniture and stuff that just didn't fit anywhere else in my home... (does this sound familiar to anyone else?)...and that is were the problem lies...it was a hodgepodge of stuff....with no rhyme or reason to it. So to make it feel like the rest of my home...I'm clearing out the space....selling what doesn't work (even if it's something I love) and actually decorating this space. It'll take a while before it's all done...but I'll show bits and pieces as I go along.
Besides doing a little shopping....I've been painting....a lot! Here's a peek at the stairs leading to our basement....so far I've primed them...and already it looks a million times better than the carpet. It'll probably be a couple weeks before they're completely done because I have lots of coats of paint to apply....but I can't wait to see it finished.I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Hi!

No wonder why these things spoke to you, they would to me if come my way. Your stairs looks much better, just waiting to finally see the rest.
ReplyDeleteI wish my basement was still full of our furniture - now it's full of The Granny! (we had it converted into a little home for her!)
ReplyDeleteNow all the excess furniture is in my workshop, bothering my creative space!
