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 :)
