OFFICE SNEAK PEEK

once we moved the kids playroom into the basement
it allowed dan and i to have a first floor office
yippee!

we're not done with the office design
by a long shot
but, it's getting there 
and i'm thrilled!

we've cleaned and cleaned
then painted
we're starting with a fresh, clean slate

here is the before...


here is a peek of the after...



 this wall will have birch tree wallpaper, here's the sample...

  

behind my desk i put up a clothes-line type thing-y
what would you call it?




can't wait to add a few more items...
1. a rug
2. curtains
3. a chalkboard wall
4. some art
5. the wallpaper

more to come :)

BASEMENT PLAYROOM

this Mom was in need to move the playroom
[downstairs]
the noise, energy, hoop-la was getting to be to much
especially with me working from home

the other bonus is
now i get a first floor office
[oh ya]

we had about $500 to achieve a functional
basement playroom

we transformed this....


icky basement

to this...






coop looks happy :)

sorry about the horrible cell phone photos.
i will take better photos soon
especially when i get it a little more decorated

future basement projects...
chalkboard wall
spray paint the plastic shelves (to match)
and maybe some window blinds
a rug?


hope you had a fun productive weekend!
we did :)
