the basement ( playroom )
Welcome to our basement..it's the girls playroom ( with a little spot for mom and dad to sit ), a space we developed from scratch oh, 7 months ago, that hasn't been getting much use.

Looks great, I love Ikea and that rug is fantastic. Great job x
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great space and you used one of my favorite rugs, looks good to me!!! Kathysue
ReplyDeletePs Be sure and come by to help celebrate my one year blogaversary tomorrow, I can't beileve it has been a year already,KS
What a great looking playroom, one that I would certainly use. Ikea is fantastic for storage and I am hoping to go there again soon to get more boxes for the kids Christmas toys. G
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Sarah, very stylish I love the Ikea ( so so wish we had Ikea in Tasmania) and the art. Isn't that LV book fantastic?
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful. It's about good taste, not the money, right? ;-)
ReplyDeleteBefore Christmas we bought exactly the same toy storage boxes in pink and red and I'm happy to say that the toys are in them!
It's cute! We have a basement full of toys too and somehow they end up in the living room every time.
ReplyDeleteLove all the stuffed animals in tubs... just the way it should be for a playroom, filled!
ReplyDeleteLoving what you have done here! Can't imagine that you won't be using it now...and I really feel ya' on the toy thing! Basement looks great!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Gosh. AMAZING
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore that space, and it's your basement?! I love that IKEA rug and have been wishing I had a space to use it in!
Happy New Year!
It looks great! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great and I love the color scheme - black/white with a splash of pink, fabulous. Doesn't look like a tight budget at all, nice job!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Is that rug from Ikea?? We're thinking of using it in our dining room....
ReplyDeletePeople want to be at the heart of the home - usually the kitchen and the basement, no matter how beautifully designed it is, often is the right foot. However when your girls are teenagers they will probably love the room. Looks like somewhere I would want to be!
ReplyDeleteAhh yes, the basement. The one space in every home we have ever had that has never been used to its full potential...but as long as it looks good I am happy.
ReplyDeleteLove the rug & panel, it looks great and all those toys!! Lucky little girls. ;)
I love it!!! And I am really loivng that rug!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! I would love a space for the kiddos toys other than the bedrooms and garage. Love the trim!
ReplyDeleteyour "budget basement" looks so chic. love it!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love that rug!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so fabulous and you must start using it. We just redid our basement a few months ago as well and turned it into a playroom and it's my favourite room in the house now- keeps all the toys in one spot and out of my living room-the kids love being down there and it's a real space for them to explore, which I love. It took a while to get into the habit of going down there (and it's always a little cold) but now we have it as part of our daily activity rotation and we all love it. Yours is so lovely so definitely, go down there! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous basement! Love what you've done. I'm sure you will get a lot of use out of it now!
ReplyDeleteNice job! I would totally use that space!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great space! I super jealous ... posting pics of my basement today and it's no where near this awesome. Still in studs :)
ReplyDeleteI love that room!!! My favorite color [white]. It is so crazy that people just tend to hang out in the kitchen, no matter how small it is! Hopefully you will use it more now because it is so CUTE!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so great Sarah! Love the panelling. I wish I had a basement for the kids. Whether it's used or not at least you have a space for all their stuff:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this space! And I'm DYING over that desk behind the couch... it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! That's one stylish basement. We are in that process right now of making ours a toy/tv space. I love the panelling - any tips on that I can share with my hubby?
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love, LOVE that rug? Is it from IKEA?
ReplyDeleteLooks really amazing..I love the rug so much..Well done, my dear
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year
I would totally use this room! What a lovely space.
ReplyDeleteIf only our basement was that stylish! Love it!
