BEFORE AND AFTER BASEMENT

So I was just looking back at my post and realized that I do have some good stuff to share!  It's hard for me to remember what I have posted and I haven't :)

Somebody recommended me to this client and what a gem she has been....So sweet and so trusting!  I have had the best time working on a few rooms in her home.

I did her office, powder bath and guest room which I will share soon but we have been working on the basement for a while.

There was some construction to be done so we did that first and then added some paint and wallpaper.

This was the first area we tackled...just some unused space that needed a purpose!  I purposed a cabinet with a fridge and pullout trash can.  A countertop and a shelf.....

It turned out great and will be very useful when they are entertaining and of course with young 3 kids it will be a good place to house snacks!  I had the walls painted SW Pewter Green and the cabinet painted a lighter color BM Duxbury Gray

Here is what the space looked like before paint and wallpaper....Again with walls SW Pewter Green and the cabinet BM Duxbury Gray.  There was a-lot of thought that went into these paint colors....I went back and forth between the lighter on the walls and darker on the cabinets but in the end I was afraid that the lighter color was just too light for the walls!

I am glad I listened to my gut!

Above is the color and a slice of the wallpaper!

 

Also if you scroll back up you will see that there are 3 cabinet doors so we filled in the holes and added edge pulls.  That way it doesn't look funny with 2 knobs on one side and one on the other!

This room is so warm and cozy now!

With this space we added a table and chairs...

from Crate and Barrel.

Below there was this dead space so after some thought I found this cabinet to add height.

Can't wait to accessorize this and the whole room!

All of the furniture has arrived except for the coffee table and rug so we are close to putting the finishing touches in place!

I have been shopping and collecting things for a month now and my LR looks like a flea market:)

Of course my favorite part is bringing the room together and making it cozy....I can't wait!
