The Basement

So, the basement is coming along.  We have the new couch that I absolutely LOVE!!!!!  We can all fit on it comfortably to watch our "Sunday Night Movie".  (Free Willy 2 will be showing this week-Colby's pick)  It is comfy, cozy, and also works great for people to sit on when we have some serious Wii competitions happening!  I added the yellowish colored pillows, as the basement needed an accent color and I got the big look of dread when I mentioned painting the basement (again).  So, we are keeping the paint the same, for now, and I am just adding some touches of color.  Here are a few pictures...

The new tv stand and tv area still need some work.  I need a couple of black bookcases and some more accessories for that area.  Troy and I are each picking a movie poster to hang, his is the Back to the Future poster, and I am still trying to decide on mine.


My scrapbook area is coordinated as well.  I made this "cheap" artwork by buying 12x12 canvases for 50% off, and then just used modge pod to attach some of my scrapbooking paper that coordinated with the colors of the room.




Finally, we have made a little reading corner with the old couch.  It still looks old, but I tried to spruce it up a bit with new throw pillows, a blanket and new artwork.



We also are going to continue to add to the kids' Artwork Wall.  So far, is has come along nicely, and I love seeing it every time a go the the basement.  We just got all three of their handprints up, they are so sweet!!!
